Red-bellied black snake
MordeThe red-bellied black snake is a venomous snake found along the east coast of Australia, where it is one of the most commonly met snakes. It is glossy black on top, with bright red or orange sides. It often lives near water, and it sometimes turns up in backyards in towns and cities.1
Como recoñecelo
- Glossy black upperparts with a light-grey snout and a completely black tail1
- Bright red or orange flanks that fade to a pink or dull red belly1
- No well-defined neck, so the head merges into the body1
- Adults average about 1.25 m in total length, including the tail1
Adoita confundirse con: Juveniles look similar to the eastern small-eyed snake, but that species lacks red flanks. Other similar snakes include the blue-bellied black snake and copperheads of the genus Austrelaps.1
Poder da pezoña
A pezoña sae polos seus cairos ou dentes cando morde.
Que fai a súa pezoña?
Its venom contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves, myotoxins, which damage muscle, and coagulants, which affect blood clotting. It also has haemolytic properties, meaning it can break down red blood cells. Bites can cause severe pain, local swelling, prolonged bleeding and local tissue death, especially on a finger. Victims can also lose their sense of smell, and nausea, vomiting, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhoea or heavy sweating can follow.1
Que perigoso é para as persoas?
Perigo para as persoas: GraveUnha mordedura precisa un médico. As mortes son moi raras.No deaths have been recorded from its bite. It is less venomous than many other Australian elapid snakes, but it can still cause significant illness. It accounted for 16% of identified snakebite victims in Australia between 2005 and 2015. Severe local reactions may need surgery or, rarely, amputation.1
Que fai cando ten medo?
It is not aggressive and usually withdraws. If provoked, it raises its head and front body into a striking stance, widens and flattens its neck, and may bite as a last resort.1
Se morde
- 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.
Chama sempre primeiro ao teu número de emerxencias (112, 000, 911). Isto son consellos xerais de primeiros auxilios, non consello médico. Primeiros auxilios básicos
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

Datos
It can stay underwater for as long as 23 minutes after fleeing into water.1
Some populations have evolved increased resistance to cane toad toxin in less than 75 years.1
Males of the species may wrestle in ritualised combat in spring, and rarely bite while doing so.1
A male was reported to travel 1,220 m in a single day while roaming for mates in spring.1
In winter it becomes relatively inactive rather than truly hibernating, and groups of up to six have been found under concrete slabs.1
Desmontamitos
Mito: The red-bellied black snake is harmless and not venomous, because it has no visible fangs.
Verdade: It is venomous and front-fanged, like all elapid snakes. It is less dangerous than many other Australian species, and no deaths have been recorded from its bite.1
