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

Apa makanannya?

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

Cara mengenalinya

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

Sering tertukar dengan: 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

Kekuatan bisa

Gigitan

Bisanya keluar lewat taring atau gigi saat menggigit.

Apa efek bisanya?

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

Seberapa berbahaya bagi manusia?

Bahaya bagi manusia: SeriusGigitan perlu ke dokter. Kematian sangat jarang.

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

Apa yang dilakukannya saat takut?

When threatened, it rears up and then strikes.1

Jika ia menggigit

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

In captivity it is exceptionally easy to breed.1

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