Red-headed krait
GigitanThe red-headed krait is a large, highly venomous snake with a striking look: a bright red head and tail and a glossy black body. It lives in lowland rain forests across Southeast Asia, including on some islands, and it is uncommon. It is a night-time hunter, and people rarely meet it.1
Cara mengenalinya
- A bright red head and tail1
- A black body with a narrow bluish white stripe along the side1
- Large, smooth, glossy scales1
- Adults can reach 2.1 metres, with an average of 1.2 to 1.5 metres1
Sering tertukar dengan: It is similar to the blue Malayan coral snake, which is also venomous, and to the nonvenomous red-headed reed snake.1
Kekuatan bisa
Bisanya keluar lewat taring atau gigi saat menggigit.
Apa efek bisanya?
Its venom is a neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves. It blocks signals between nerves and muscles, causing paralysis. Victims can stop breathing, which can lead to death by asphyxiation. Between 20 minutes and several hours after a bite, drooping eyelids may appear, along with double vision, difficulty swallowing, vomiting, headache and excess saliva. Symptoms can then worsen as more muscles, including the jaw, become paralysed, and breathing can become difficult.1
Seberapa berbahaya bagi manusia?
Bahaya bagi manusia: Sangat berbahayaBisa membunuh orang yang tidak diobati.Bites are reported rarely, and the venom is little studied for this reason. It is not usually considered high risk to people in the daytime, because it is sluggish and hides. At night it is active and extremely dangerous.1
Kabar baik: dokter punya obat (antibisa) atau pengobatan untuk ini.1
Apa yang dilakukannya saat takut?
When disturbed, it presses its head into the ground or hides its head within its flattened or rolled coils. Captives will generally refuse to strike until they have been teased for a long time.1
Jika ia menggigit
- Get to a hospital fast. Neurotoxic symptoms can be treated in hospital with antivenin or with drugs that inactivate acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down the chemical messenger between nerves and muscles. Symptoms may also settle on their own.1
