Cara mengenalinya

  • A large, robust snake that can reach 2.0 to 2.5 m, with a maximum confirmed length of 3.3 m.1
  • Colour varies by area: tan in the north, and darker brown to blackish in the south.1
  • Scales are two-toned, giving the upper body a reticulated (net-like) pattern.1
  • The belly is cream, white or salmon, and often has orange marks.1
  • The head is slightly wider than the body, with small eyes that have red-brown irises and a dark tongue.1

Sering dikelirukan dengan: King brown snakes can be confused with brown snakes of the genus Pseudonaja, olive pythons, water pythons, spotted mulga snakes and coastal taipans. In eastern brown snakes, the temporolabial scale and last supralabial scale (scales above the mouth) are fused. In king brown snakes, they are separate.1

Kuasa bisa

Gigitan

Bisa keluar melalui taring atau giginya apabila ia menggigit.

Apa kesan 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

Berapa bahaya ia kepada manusia?

Bahaya kepada manusia: Sangat berbahayaIa boleh membunuh orang yang tidak mendapat rawatan.

Deaths from its bites have been recorded, with the most recent in 1969. Extensive pain and swelling often occur at the bite site, and necrosis (death of tissue) occurs rarely.1

Berita baik: doktor ada ubat (antibisa) atau rawatan untuk ini.1

Jika ia menggigit

  • Victims are treated with black snake (not brown snake) antivenom.1
  • Imobilisasi tekanan: balut tempat gigitan dengan pembalut elastik secara kukuh, kemudian teruskan ke atas sepanjang seluruh anggota, pasang bidai, dan pastikan orang itu langsung tidak bergerak sehingga bantuan tiba.
  • Jangan basuh tempat gigitan: hospital boleh menguji bisa yang tertinggal pada kulit untuk memilih antibisa yang betul.
