Gigitan

Bisanya keluar lewat taring atau gigi saat menggigit.

Apa efek bisanya?

The venom is not as potent as that of Australia's other dangerous snakes, but it can cause severe effects if delivered in large enough amounts. Its main effect is on striated (skeletal) muscle, which can cause paralysis through muscle damage. It also commonly affects blood clotting (coagulopathy).1
