Stephens' banded snake
Stephens' banded snake is a tree-dwelling snake that lives only on the east coast of Australia. It is highly venomous, and its venom affects the blood, so it is one of the snakes that people should give plenty of space. It spends most of its life high in the trees of forests.1

Kako ga prepoznati
- Alternating bands of grey or black and dirty-white along the back, with over 40 of each colour from the back of the head to the tip of the tail1
- A flat, mostly dirty-white belly, with occasional grey splotches towards the head and tail1
- A dark brown top of the head, with pale blotches or bars along the lips1
- A slender body with a broadened, arrow-shaped head1
- Mostly active at night, and often found in tree hollows high in the canopy1
Često se miješa s: Its closest relatives are the broad-headed snake, which shares its coastal range, and the pale-headed snake, which lives further inland. All three are tree-dwelling snakes in the same genus.1
Otrovna snaga
Otrov izlazi kroz očnjake ili zube kad ugrize.
Što radi njegov otrov kad ugrize ili ubode?
Its venom is procoagulant, meaning it makes blood clot. It contains prothrombinase, which triggers the production of thrombin in the blood, causing tiny clots throughout the body. Symptoms include nausea, headache, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea and sweating. If left untreated, the clotting leads to excessive bleeding as blood vessels rupture.1
Koliko je opasno za ljude?
Opasnost za ljude: OzbiljnoUgriz treba pokazati liječniku. Smrtni slučajevi su vrlo rijetki.It is described as a ready biter, and its envenoming is potentially fatal. Only one death has been recorded: an elderly man in his 60s in Kalang, New South Wales, whose rescue was delayed by torrential rain and floods.1
Dobre vijesti: liječnici za ovo imaju lijek (protuotrov) ili liječenje.1
Što radi kad se uplaši?
It is described as nervous and defensive towards other animals, and it is a ready biter when threatened.1
Ako ugrize
- Victims have been successfully treated with up to four doses of 3,000 unit tiger snake antivenom. The wounded person must be transported to hospital for medical treatment.1
- 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
