What type of snake is classified as a vasculotoxic snake?

Vasculotoxic snakes are characterized by their venom, which primarily affects the vascular system, leading to significant damage to blood vessels and altering blood coagulation. The venom of vipers contains enzymes that can disrupt blood clotting mechanisms, cause hemorrhage, and lead to tissue necrosis at the bite site. This is in contrast to other snakes like cobras, which primarily have neurotoxic venom that affects the nervous system, or pythons, which are constrictors and do not have venom that affects the vascular system. Rattlesnakes, although also classified as venomous, mainly exhibit cytotoxic or neurotoxic properties depending on the species, with their venom primarily acting on cells and nerves rather than directly targeting the vascular system. Therefore, vipers are classified as vasculotoxic snakes due to the specific effects their venom has on blood vessels and blood coagulation.
