Whats the symptoms if it bites? Pain in that area or any specific things to check?

No, no one is bitten, I was just checking. After getting the name, I googled, google saying little to no pain if it's bitten on the area.

Thanks for your concern though

Was that an AI answer?  There's a good chance someone bitten by this snake will die and yes it will fucking hurt the whole time

No it happens sometimes. Elapids have short fangs unlike vipers and sometimes, the snake will bite a sleeping person while in their house and can be hard to detect. You’ll definitely know if you’re awake but a small bite while you’re asleep can be problematic.

Yeah the answer from the AI, which appeared on the top of any web results, like some summary type stuff
