Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

This is a rear-fanged snake, meaning its fangs are at the back of the mouth, and it is described as mildly venomous. Its venom can paralyse small prey. Bites are expected to cause only mild to moderate local swelling and pain, with occasional bruising, numbness, redness or bleeding, but no tissue death (necrosis) and no whole-body (systemic) effects.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

Bites are not expected to cause medically significant effects. Most cases are minor, but some are more severe and need hospital admission and treatment.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

Usually sluggish and hard to provoke into striking, it may become hostile when threatened and display with its mouth wide open.1

As dit byt

Bites usually need no treatment beyond checking for infection and making sure tetanus protection is up to date. Anyone who develops local symptoms, such as signs of infection, should return for medical review. Some bites are more severe and need hospital care, so a careful assessment is needed before discharge.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

Feite

It is one of the rear-fanged snakes, and its venom is used to paralyse small prey.1

Its long, grasping tail lets it live entirely in trees, so it is described as purely arboreal.1

Despite its size, it is sluggish and makes no attempt to escape when handled.1

Hatchlings look very different from adults, being reddish brown with a green head.1

It hunts at night and rests during the day, coiled among the branches.1

A female lays between 7 and 14 eggs, which take about 85 days to hatch.1
