A reptile caretaker was bitten and envenomated by Atractaspis bibronii while handling a box of "non-venomous" colubrid feeder snakes. The patient was bitten on a finger by a single fang. Pain and swelling were noted within 10 min and dissipated over the ensuing 3 days. This case report adds to the limited number of bites by A. bibronii already found in the literature and reviews what is currently known about the species.
