The bandy-bandy is a small, glossy snake with bold black and white rings that go all the way round its body. It lives in Australia, mostly along the east coast. It is venomous, but its venom is weak and it is generally considered harmless to people.1

Leef in

Northern and eastern Australia, mainly the east coast, and south-eastern South Australia1

Australië & Oseanië

Tuis

Bandy-bandies live in many habitats, from desert to wet rainforest. Around Brisbane they are found in suburbs with woodland, and across south-east Queensland they live in coastal forest, scrubland and outback desert.1

Lengte

50 cm tot 60 cm (1,6 ft tot 2 ft)1

omtrent 6,2 km/h (3,9 mph)

Op land, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

Bandy-bandies eat snakes, mostly blind snakes from the family Typhlopidae. They find prey by tongue flicking to sample chemical trails left by blind snakes.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Smooth, glossy scales1
Sharply contrasting black and white rings that continue right around the body1
A short tail with a blunt tip, unlike other elapid snakes1
Usually 50 to 60 cm long including the tail1

Word dikwels verwar met: Other bandy-bandy species look similar and live in different regions. They are told apart by the presence of a pair of small scales on the head (internasals), the number of black bands on the body and tail, and the number of belly scales.1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Bandy-bandy venom is weak, and its effects are mostly limited to the area around the bite. Its mouth is small and it is not aggressive, so it rarely bites people.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

The bandy-bandy is generally considered harmless to people because of its small mouth and inoffensive nature.1

As dit byt

Drukimmobilisasie: draai 'n stewige elastiese verband oor die byt en dan op oor die hele arm of been, spalk dit en hou die persoon heeltemal stil totdat hulp opdaag.
Moenie die byt was nie: hospitale kan die gif wat op die vel agterbly toets om die regte teengif te kies.

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

Feite

Blind snakes can be bigger than the bandy-bandy that eats them. Bandy-bandies have been seen with prey sticking out of their mouths while they slowly digest it.1

Bandy-bandies can follow the chemical trail of a blind snake. In one study they followed trails for an average of 0.93 metres, and some followed a full 1.4-metre trail.1

Bandy-bandies are also called hoop snakes because of their striking rings.1

Females are much larger than males. In one study, the mean snout-vent length was 54.4 cm for females and 39.2 cm for males.1

Unlike other elapid snakes, the bandy-bandy has a blunt tail tip.1
