The Patagonia green racer is a medium-sized snake with a venomous bite, though its fangs sit at the back of its mouth. It lives in open country across much of South America, from northern Argentina to northeastern Brazil. It is special because it hunts other snakes, including its own kind.1

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, in cis-Andean South America (east of the Andes)1

Suid-Amerika

Tuis

It lives in open habitats such as the Patagonian steppe, Cerrado, Chaco and Caatinga, and in open areas of the Atlantic forest. It is terrestrial, but it forages mostly in trees and is active during the day.1

Topspoed

omtrent 5,6 km/h (3,5 mph)

Op land, rowwe skatting

It preys on snakes, including its own species. Juveniles feed on ectothermic (cold-blooded) animals, while adults feed on endothermic (warm-blooded) animals.1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

It produces toxic saliva from a gland called the Duvernoy's gland. The toxin is about 90% protein, mainly metalloproteinases (enzymes that break down tissue). Its effects are similar to those of Bothrops snakes, causing swelling, bleeding and tissue death. Its venom also contains neurotoxic (nerve-attacking) and myotoxic (muscle-damaging) components, which can cause neuromuscular block (signals from nerves to muscles are interrupted) and myonecrosis (muscle death).1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

The species has difficulty injecting venom because of its rear fangs.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
