Bite bitis arietans

Hello.
I look for photos of effects of bites of Bitis arietans on a human.
If you know where I could find these pictures, thank you.

I was already see on venomousreptiles.org, but there was not bite of Bitis arietans.

There is a picture in a book called (I think) "Poisonous Snakes" by an English herpetologist, published in the 70s. It just shows the blood blisters on the hand of a young boy. Not too gruesom.

Look at the pictures of the c. atrox bite on the SHHS site, and imagine the swelling alot more severe. That should give you an idea what it would look like.
