Eastern brown snake

Pseudonaja textilis
O imenu: The species name textilis was inspired by the fine-meshed pattern on the snake's body, which reminded its first describer of fine stockings.1

The eastern brown snake is a slender snake that lives across eastern and central Australia and in southern New Guinea. It is one of the most venomous land snakes in the world, so it is important to know what it looks like. It often lives near farms and the edges of towns, where it hunts house mice.1

Kako ga prepoznati

  • Slender build, with no clear line between the head and neck.1
  • Upper parts range from pale brown to black, and sometimes orange or russet.1
  • Underside is pale cream or yellow, often with orange, brown or dark grey blotches.1
  • Young snakes usually have a black head and may have dark bands or a pattern across the body. These markings fade as the snake grows.1
  • Inside of the mouth is flesh-pink.1

Često se miješa s: Large eastern brown snakes are often confused with mulga snakes, which share their habitat in many areas; they can be told apart by head size. Its yellowish underparts separate it from the dugite and peninsula brown snake, which are entirely brown or have grey underparts. Young eastern brown snakes have head markings similar to red-naped snakes, grey snakes, Dwyer's snakes and curl snakes.1

Otrovna snaga

Ugrizi

Otrov izlazi kroz očnjake ili zube kad ugrize.

Što radi njegov otrov kad ugrize ili ubode?

Its venom mainly affects the circulatory system, which carries blood around the body. The main effects are coagulopathy (a problem with blood clotting), haemorrhage (bleeding), cardiovascular collapse (the heart and blood vessels failing) and cardiac arrest (the heart stopping). One of the main components is pseutarin-C, a prothrombinase complex that breaks down prothrombin, a substance needed for blood to clot.1

Koliko je opasno za ljude?

Opasnost za ljude: SmrtonosnoJedna od najopasnijih životinja na svijetu.

It is considered the world's second-most venomous land snake after the inland taipan, based on laboratory tests in mice.1

Ako ugrize

  • Imobilizacija pritiskom: čvrsto omotaj elastični zavoj preko ugriza, a zatim uz cijeli ud, stavi udlagu i drži osobu potpuno mirnom dok ne stigne pomoć.
  • Ne peri ugriz: u bolnici mogu ispitati otrov koji je ostao na koži kako bi odabrali pravi protuotrov.

Uvijek prvo nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911). Ovo su opće upute za prvu pomoć, a ne liječnički savjet. Osnove prve pomoći

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

1

In December 2023, an eastern brown snake paused a match at the Brisbane International tennis tournament for 40 minutes until a professional snake catcher removed it.1

2

In winter, it brumates (goes into a state of rest like hibernation). Groups have been found sheltering under concrete slabs of houses in Sydney.1

3

Its fangs are small compared with other Australian venomous snakes, averaging 2.8 mm and reaching up to 4 mm in larger specimens.1

4

Within its genus, it has the largest number of chromosomes, at 38 in its cells.1

5

Local Aboriginal peoples in Sydney, the Illawarra and the Wiradjuri region had their own names for it, and the Dharawal and Awabakal held ceremonies for it.1

Razbijač mitova

Mit: Young and adult brown snakes are different species.

Istina: Early scientists thought they were different because their markings differ. Later research showed that the markings of young snakes fade as they grow, and all these forms are the same species.1
