    The red neck keelback snake (Rhabdophis subminatus), often sold as a pet, can cause severe bleeding disorders. Medical professionals should be aware of this snake

    Area of Science:

    • Herpetology
    • Toxicology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • The classification of snakes as harmless or dangerous to humans can be ambiguous.
    • Rhabdophis subminatus, the red neck keelback, is legally sold in the United States as a pet snake.

    Observation:

    • A patient was bitten by a red neck keelback snake presumed to be harmless.
    • The bite resulted in a severe coagulopathy, characterized by life-threatening hemorrhage.

    Findings:

    • The patient's coagulopathy was unresponsive to standard blood transfusions.
    • The study aims to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanism behind the snake's venom-induced coagulopathy.

    Implications:

    • Alerts the medical community to the potential danger of the red neck keelback.
