Abstract
Envenomation by C. albolabris is characterized by local tissue injury and hematotoxicity. Supportive care and specific antivenom therapy comprise the management of these bites. This case reminds physicians that not all bites that present to the hospital will be from native snakes and helps direct emergency physicians to specific expertise and uncommon antivenoms.
