Eastern asp
The most deceiving poisonous snake. The insidiousness of an asp bite is that a person feels only a light prick, like a pin. The poison will act with lightning speed and within 10 minutes without medical assistance, a person may die. This snake is also called «harlequin» for its bright attractive color. Aspid often hides under the ground, leaving only a bright tail on the surface and thus makes you want to get it and see what is there. This is a fatal mistake!
