The dog-toothed cat snake is a large, nocturnal snake that is active at night. It lives across Southeast Asia, from southern Thailand to the Philippines and Indonesia, and it is often found in gardens, plantations and towns as well as forests. It is a rear-fanged snake, so its venom is delivered through teeth at the back of its mouth.1

Tuis

It lives in a wide range of places, from primary and secondary forest to cultivated land, rural gardens and urban areas. It is often found in coconut plantations. In forests it lives in the canopy, high in the trees. On Bali it is relatively common in secondary forests and gardens, especially where trees and bushes grow over rivers and streams.1

Hoe om dit te herken

A slender, large snake that can reach more than 2 m in total length1
Yellowish or pale reddish-brown back with dark brown or black crossbars or spots1
A wavy or irregular dark stripe behind each eye, with a dark streak on each side of the head1
Yellowish belly, sometimes plain or marbled with brown1
Strongly enlarged front teeth in the upper and lower jaws. Indonesian populations include black individuals.1

Word dikwels verwar met: Other similar snakes have a more even or nearly even upper and lower line behind the eye, while this species has a distinctly wavy or irregular one. The closely related Boiga hoeseli is found in the Lesser Sundas east of Bali, including Sumbawa and Flores, and not where this species lives.1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

It may have a potent neurotoxic venom, which attacks the nerves. Its effects have been shown to be reversible with neostigmine, a drug that affects nerve signalling, so envenoming from this species can be treated with anticholinesterase therapy.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

Its venom may be potent, so any bite should be taken seriously. The effects of the venom have been shown to be reversible with treatment.1

As dit byt

Envenoming from this species is said to be treatable with anticholinesterase therapy, which is a medical treatment.1
Was die byt, hou die persoon kalm en kry mediese hulp. Sommige spesies (soos die boomslang) kan ure later dodelik wees.

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
