Hoe om dit te herken

  • Black above, with yellow bands across the back1
  • Yellow lips with black edges1
  • Black or bluish underside, sometimes speckled with yellow, and a yellow throat1
  • Can grow to about 240 to 270 cm long1
  • Has a triangular body cross-section1

Word dikwels verwar met: The mangrove snake can be confused with the banded krait, which has alternating black and yellow crossbands and a triangular body. The banded krait is extremely venomous, so treat any black and yellow banded snake with caution.1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

The snake has rear fangs and a venom gland linked to them. It has to chew to release the venom, which is released gradually. Its venom is weak, and the rear fangs are small, so it is hard for the snake to sink them into a person's arm or leg. Moderate bites have caused intense swelling.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

It is considered mildly venomous. Moderate bites have caused intense swelling, but there has never been a confirmed death, as of 2016.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

It is a potentially defensive snake that may strike repeatedly, even when captive bred.1

As dit byt

  • 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
