The red-naped snake is a small venomous snake with a bright red or orange patch on the back of its neck. It lives in many parts of eastern and central Australia, mostly hunting at night. It is special because it looks very like the young eastern brown snake, which is far more dangerous.1

Leef in

Eastern and central Australia, from Port Augusta in South Australia to Cairns in northern Queensland1

Australië & Oseanië

Tuis

It lives on the ground in dry woodlands and forests, coastal forests and heaths, tussock grasslands and shrublands, and mostly keeps away from wet areas such as rainforests. It shelters under rocks, fallen timber, woodpiles, old sheets of iron, leaves, in ant or termite nests, and in cracks and abandoned burrows.1

Lengte

45 cm (1,5 ft)1

Topspoed

omtrent 5,9 km/h (3,7 mph)

Op land, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

It eats small skinks, which are lizards. It kills prey using both venom and constriction, and hunts in restricted places such as burrows and cracks. It eats more in the warmer months.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Small, slim snake, reaching a maximum length of about 45 cm1
Shiny black head and neck, with small black eyes and a head that looks partly flattened1
A white streak on the upper lip1
A well-defined orange or red patch on the back of the neck, shaped like a diamond, crescent or oval1
Red-brown body with dark edges to the scales, so the pattern looks like a net; the belly is cream or white1

Word dikwels verwar met: The red-naped snake looks similar to the juvenile eastern brown snake. The eastern brown snake has a lighter band between its dark head and neck. Behaviour is the easiest difference: the eastern brown snake is active in the day, while the red-naped snake is nocturnal and is rarely seen unless its shelter is disturbed.1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

The red-naped snake is venomous, but it is considered harmless to humans. It can bite, and will do so if it is provoked enough.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When threatened, it strikes out several times with the front of its body raised off the ground, usually with its mouth closed.1

As dit byt

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.

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

die moeite werd om te weet

Feite

It kills its prey with both venom and constriction, squeezing the prey in its coils.1

Its look is so close to the young eastern brown snake that behaviour is often the only way to tell them apart.1

Its neck patch is one of its clearest markings: an orange or red shape on an otherwise black head and neck.1

It is nocturnal, so it is rarely seen unless its hiding place is disturbed.1
