The author describes the bite of this species as ***potentially very dangerous to humans***. The intramuscular LD50 in mice is actually even lower than that of some Bothrops species! However, the paper cites different bite reports and so far serious evenomation but no fatalities seem confirmed. All in all the venom delivery apparatus seems to be less efficient that that of vipers or elapids. Thus, we classify this species as ***dangerous*** in our Snakedatabase.org-ranking.
