The Cape coral snake is a small, slender venomous snake with bold red-orange to yellow colours and thick black rings. It lives in the dry Karoo and other arid parts of southern Africa, where it hunts mainly at night. Its bite can cause serious harm, so it is important to recognise it.1

It mostly lives in very dry places such as deserts and rocky or sandy ground, with low, predictable rainfall and mostly shrubs and scrubs. During the day it often shelters under rocks or in burrows and tunnels.1

Što jede?

It is nocturnal and hunts mainly by smell and taste, leaving its burrow to search for nearby prey. It mostly eats lizards, and also legless skinks, small rodents and sometimes other snakes. It rears up towards prey, then strikes and injects venom.1

Kako ga prepoznati

Small and slender, about 49–61 cm long including the tail, sometimes up to 76 cm1
Colours range from red-orange to yellow1
Thick black rings run along the body, fully encircling the body but not the tail, with about 20–47 rings in total1
Very short head compared with the body, so the head stands out clearly from the neck1
An enlarged scale at the front of the snout, and a narrow hood just below the head, like other cobras1

Često se miješa s: Its colour pattern slightly resembles that of some corn snakes. The narrow hood and short head are features that help separate it from them.1

Otrovna snaga

Ugrizi

Otrov izlazi kroz očnjake ili zube kad ugrize.

Što radi njegov otrov kad ugrize ili ubode?

Its venom is neurotoxic, which means it attacks the nerves. Its composition is thought to be similar to that of true cobras (Naja). In a 2019 case, a man kept in captivity was bitten twice and developed vomiting, respiratory failure and paralysis within one hour, and his symptoms resolved after 12 hours of treatment.1

Koliko je opasno za ljude?

Opasnost za ljude: OzbiljnoUgriz treba pokazati liječniku. Smrtni slučajevi su vrlo rijetki.

Bites to humans are rarely documented. Reported effects range from no symptoms, to mild symptoms, to severe nerve effects and, in some cases, death. The effect may depend on the amount of venom injected and the patient's body weight.1

Što radi kad se uplaši?

When threatened, it rears up and then strikes.1

Ako ugrize

Severe cases needed mechanical ventilation (a breathing machine), and access to this is limited in many parts of southern Africa, so get medical help quickly after any bite.1
Neka osoba miruje i bude smirena, skini prstenje i sve što steže i brzo je odvedi u bolnicu: liječi se protuotrovom.

Ostani na sigurnom

Nikad ne diraj, ne hvataj i ne zadirkuj divlju životinju, čak ni malu, i čak ni ako izgleda kao da spava ili je mrtva.
Ostavi joj prostora. Ako je sretneš, ne paniči, polako se odmakni i pusti je da ode svojim putem.
Ako te neka ugrize: ne paniči, miruj, nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911) ili brzo idi u bolnicu. Zapamti kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaže.

Ne želi ti ništa loše. Otrov koristi za lov hrane ili za obranu i mnogo bi se radije sakrilo. Više o sigurnosti

Činjenice

Its colour pattern is similar to that of some corn snakes, but its venom makes it far more dangerous.1

Hatchlings are already around 17–18 cm long, which is a large part of the adult size.1

In captivity it is exceptionally easy to breed.1

It is nocturnal, so most of its hunting happens at night.1
