. Chandrabora or Russell's Viper
Another name of Chandrabora is Ulubora.
It is one of the most venomous snakes found in Bangladesh.
This snake became almost extinct from Bangladesh about a hundred years ago, meaning that not a single one of its snakes has been seen in decades.
But since the last 10/12 years, there has been evidence of snake bites again.
Fayez, a professor at the Toxicology Society, said that although there was evidence of the snake's existence in the Rajshahi region at first, it is now increasingly seen in the Faridpur region.
But research is now underway in Bangladesh on why and how this snake suddenly came back.
When this snake bites, the nerves become numb and blood clots form.

This is the name given to the thick part of the head. A total of six species of this species are found in Bangladesh.

Remedy for snake bites
There is a common misconception that people will die if they are bitten by a snake. Aniruddha Ghosh, a professor at Chittagong Medical College Hospital, told the BBC that 80 per cent of snake bites in Bangladesh are non-venomous.
As a result, the idea that a snake bites to death is not correct.
However, if the snake bites, snake bite medicine or antivenom should be applied as soon as possible. Then it is possible to prevent death.
According to the Bangladesh Department of Health, the antivenom used in the country comes mainly from Tamil Nadu, India.
Line Director of the Department of Non-Communicable Diseases. Habibur Rahman told the BBC that a little more than Rs 5 crore worth of antivenom is imported into the country every year under government management.
However, this antivenum is criticized as 'inappropriate' and 'unnecessary'.
Fayez, a professor at the Toxicology Society, says the antivenom brought to Bangladesh is basically a 'cocktail' or mixture of the venom of four snakes, which works to cure some snake bites.
In the rest of the case, they work partially. This is not at all fair. They make their antivenom with the venom of the local snakes of Tamil Nadu.
There is a difference between snake venom and snake venom in our country. Only 20 percent of the antivenom imported from India matches the snakes of Bangladesh. "
In this regard, the World Health Organization has instructed that people who have been bitten by snakes should be treated by making antivenom from local snakes. Otherwise it is not effective.
However, despite the high incidence of snake bites during floods each year, Antivenom is still found only in district towns, medical college hospitals and Sadar hospitals.
Supplies are made at the upazila level according to need and demand.
What to do if bitten by a snake?
Aniruddha Ghosh, a professor at Chittagong Medical College Hospital who researched snake bites and antivenom, said that one should know what to do with a snake bite and what not to do with it.
His advice is ---
What to do
* Seek medical attention immediately
* If you break an arm or a leg, just as it is lightly obstructed with a cloth with something hard, bind it in the same way
* Move the snake-cut muscle as little as possible, the less the muscle movement, the less venom will spread.
What not to do
* Can't panic
* Do not waste time waiting for witchcraft or scrubbing
* Do not eat anything until you see a doctor
* No ointment or massage should be applied
* Tightly tied to the place where the snake bites, because the blood can clot and the infected person can become paralyzed.
