As the weather gets warmer, snakes are becoming more active in Taiwan. In Nantou, a woman was bitten by a Trimeresurus stejnegeri while doing laundry, but she was quickly treated with anti-venom. In Taichung and Kaohsiung cities, large snakes, including a 3m Black-banded Krait, were seen hiding in unexpected places, causing alarm among residents. Experts advise keeping home environments clear of clutter to avoid snakes seeking hiding spots. While the Black-banded Krait is non-venomous and a protected species, encounters with other venomous snakes like the Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus pose more serious risks. People are urged to be cautious and seek medical attention immediately if bitten by a snake.
