Hoe om dit te herken

Dark brown to black upperparts with pink or cream banding and sides1
Irregular cross-shaped bands that are usually orange-red1
Pale yellow to orange underparts, often the same colour as the bands1
Young snakes are usually the same colour as adults but with brighter shades and more contrast1

Word dikwels verwar met: It has a similar body structure to the red-bellied black snake, but the two look quite different. Collett's snake is the most colourful of the black snakes in its genus.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 cytotoxic, which means it damages cells, and it has haemolytic activity, which means it breaks down red blood cells. It may also contain neurotoxins, which attack the nerves. Early symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and headache. Within 24 hours, severe cases can progress to rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and acute kidney injury if fluid replacement and antivenom are not given. One strike delivers about 30 milligrams of venom.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

Its bite can be fatal. It was once thought to be only moderately venomous to people, but it is now known to have caused severe envenomation. It is considered the nineteenth most venomous snake in the world.1

Goeie nuus: dokters het 'n medisyne (teengif) of 'n behandeling hiervoor.1

As dit byt

Fluid replacement and black snake antivenom should be given as soon as possible, because serious kidney damage can occur within 24 hours. Black snake or tiger snake antivenom can be used.1
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.

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
