Descripción

Bothrops jararacussu is one of the most venomous snakes of medicalimportance in South America, mainly due to the toxicity of their venom and thelarge amount of that which can be injected in a single bite. The venomof this snake is required for the production, process and control of thetherapeutic antivenoms used to treat Bothropsenvenomation, so it is one of the Bothropsspecies common in Serpentarium located in Argentina and Brazil dedicated tothe production of antivenoms. We reported two cases of ophyophagy due captiveadult B. jararacussu females on Bothrops and Phylodriassnakes and the aggression ofspecimens of this species is also described.Despite well known resistance to homologous venom of Bothrops species, the bite of thisspecie on other snakes of the same species and also other Bothrops snakes, produce serious injuries. Theseobservations are important for professionals whom must maintain incaptivity these species of snakes by educational or venomproduction purposes.
