H. modestus, a water-snake with morphological respiratory adaptation to its habitat, presents haemoglobins with a lower Bohr effect than those of L. miliaris, an aquatic snake without such respiratory adaptations. The difference in blood lactic acid content of the 2 snakes submitted to mechanical stimuli appears to be compatible with the properties of their haemoglobins.
谦虚水蛇（H. modestus）是一种在形态上对其栖息地具有呼吸适应性的水蛇，其血红蛋白的玻尔效应低于乳色水蛇（L. miliaris），后者是一种没有这种呼吸适应性的水生蛇。受到机械刺激的这两种蛇的血液乳酸含量差异似乎与其血红蛋白的特性相符。
