Hoe om dit te herken

  • A stout body with a wide neck and a sharply upturned snout1
  • A light brown, yellowish, grey or reddish base colour with a distinct row of dark blotches along the back1
  • Smaller dark blotches alternate with the main blotches along the sides1
  • About 25 rows of keeled (ridged) scales around the middle of the body1
  • Young snakes have a belly that is clearly darker than the underside of the tail. As they age, the underside usually turns pale white1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

It is described as harmless to people.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
