Hoe om dit te herken

Young snakes are yellowish to light brown, with a black band circling the neck.1
As it grows, it becomes a darker brown and the neck band fades away.1
The throat band, which covers the front belly scales, is blue-black.1
When threatened, it spreads a large, impressive hood about 10 to 12 cm wide.1
In the southernmost parts of its range, some snakes are black with yellow bands across the body and tail.1

Word dikwels verwar met: The snouted cobra is very similar in shape, size and habits. The Anchieta's cobra is more inclined to stand its ground when confronted by a threat.1

Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Its venom is mainly a potent neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves. It may also contain cardiotoxic components, which harm the heart. Because it has moderately large size and relatively large fangs, it can inject a large volume of venom in a single bite.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: Baie gevaarlikDit kan 'n mens doodmaak wat geen behandeling kry nie.

Bites are rare, but they have been known to cause human deaths.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When provoked it lifts its front body off the ground, spreads its hood and takes a defensive posture, but it will flee if it gets the chance, and it sometimes feigns death.1

As dit byt

Hou die persoon stil en kalm, haal ringe en stywe goed af, en kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit: teengif is die behandeling.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly
