Hoe om dit te herken

  • The head is black.1
  • The first ring behind the head is red.1
  • Usually has only 2 black rings on the tail.1
  • Adults are 28 to 61 cm long, tail included.1

Word dikwels verwar met: It is often confused with Micrurus fulvius. In this species the white or yellow rings are broader, there are usually only 2 black rings on the tail, and the first ring behind the head is red, whereas in Micrurus fulvius it is black.1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Its venom is neurotoxic, which means it attacks the nerves, and it is extremely potent. The estimated lethal dose for an adult human is 6 to 8 mg. In laboratory milking, the average venom yield was 0.12 mg (dry weight), with a maximum of 6 mg.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

No fatalities from its bite have been reported. Its venom is potent, so any bite should be taken seriously.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When startled or threatened, it hides its head under its body, raises its tail and curls it tightly. It can also forcibly release gas from its cloaca with a loud noise, a behaviour known as cloacal popping, which smells very unpleasant.1

As dit byt

  • Hou die persoon stil en kalm en kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit, selfs as die byt klein lyk: simptome kan ure later begin.

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
