Enzyme activities tested in the venom gland extract of Azemiops feae snake are similar to those of viperine venoms, except that Azemiops venom has no blood clotting, haemorrhagic or myolytic activities. The venom gland exhibits the characteristic feature of a viperine gland, but the fangs possess a ridge at the tip laterally to the venom orifice and a blade-like structure on the back seen only in some opisthoglyphous and Atractaspidae snakes.
在山烙铁头蛇毒腺提取物中检测到的酶活性与蝰蛇科毒液的酶活性相似，不过山烙铁头蛇毒液没有凝血、出血或溶肌活性。其毒腺呈现出蝰蛇科腺体的特征性特点，但毒牙在毒孔侧面的尖端处有一条脊，并且在背面有一个仅在某些后沟牙类蛇和穴蝰科蛇中可见的刀片状结构。
