Dugite
MordeThe dugite is a highly venomous snake found in southern Western Australia and in remote coastal parts of western South Australia. Its venom is potentially one of the most lethal in the world, so it is a snake to treat with great respect. It is common in and around Perth, where it often shelters near buildings.1
Como recoñecelo
- Coloured grey, green or brown, but the colours vary widely between individuals, so colour alone is not a reliable guide.1
- Black scales may be scattered over the body.1
- Relatively large scales with a semi-glossy look.1
- The head is rather small and not clearly separate from the neck.1
- Long and slender body, typically about 1.5 metres in total length.1
Poder da pezoña
A pezoña sae polos seus cairos ou dentes cando morde.
Que fai a súa pezoña?
The venom has coagulopathic and procoagulant effects, meaning it disturbs the way blood clots. It is potentially one of the most lethal venoms in the world. In a 2011 case, a boy bitten by a dugite was temporarily paralysed, showing that the venom can affect the nerves and muscles as well as the blood.1
Que perigoso é para as persoas?
Perigo para as persoas: Moi perigosoPode matar a unha persoa que non reciba tratamento.Dugites are potentially lethal. They generally avoid biting people, but the risk of encounters rises during the mating season in October and November. The last recorded human death attributed to a dugite was in August 2015 in South Fremantle. In 2011 a seven-year-old boy was bitten and temporarily paralysed, and he made a full recovery.1
Boas novas: os médicos teñen un medicamento (antiveleno) ou un tratamento para isto.1
Que fai cando ten medo?
When disturbed they are very shy and often slither away, but they will defend themselves if cornered.1
Se morde
- Prompt medical attention is essential after a bite. In a December 2020 case, a three-year-old girl bitten by a snake believed to be a dugite was quickly immobilised by her grandmother, who wrapped her legs in pressure bandages. She was treated with antivenom in hospital and made a full recovery.1
- Inmobilización con presión: envolve cunha venda elástica firme a mordedura e despois todo o membro cara arriba, ponlle unha férula e mantén a persoa completamente quieta ata que chegue a axuda.
- Non laves a mordedura: no hospital poden analizar a pezoña que queda na pel para escoller o antiveleno axeitado.

Mantente a salvo
- Nunca toques, collas nin molestes un animal salvaxe, aínda que sexa pequeno e aínda que pareza durmido ou morto.
- Déixalle espazo. Se atopas un, mantén a calma, recúa amodo e déixao ir polo seu camiño.
- Se un te morde: mantén a calma, non te movas, chama ao teu número de emerxencias (112, 000, 911) ou vai rápido a un hospital. Lembra como era, unha foto axuda.
Non vai a por ti. Usa a súa pezoña para cazar comida ou para defenderse, e prefire con moito agocharse. Máis sobre como estar a salvo
