Eastern brown snake
The eastern brown snake is a slender snake that lives across eastern and central Australia and in southern New Guinea. It is one of the most venomous land snakes in the world, so it is important to know what it looks like. It often lives near farms and the edges of towns, where it hunts house mice.1

यसलाई कसरी चिन्ने
- Slender build, with no clear line between the head and neck.1
- Upper parts range from pale brown to black, and sometimes orange or russet.1
- Underside is pale cream or yellow, often with orange, brown or dark grey blotches.1
- Young snakes usually have a black head and may have dark bands or a pattern across the body. These markings fade as the snake grows.1
- Inside of the mouth is flesh-pink.1
प्रायः यससँग झुक्किइन्छ: Large eastern brown snakes are often confused with mulga snakes, which share their habitat in many areas; they can be told apart by head size. Its yellowish underparts separate it from the dugite and peninsula brown snake, which are entirely brown or have grey underparts. Young eastern brown snakes have head markings similar to red-naped snakes, grey snakes, Dwyer's snakes and curl snakes.1
विष शक्ति

Its venom mainly affects the circulatory system, which carries blood around the body. The main effects are coagulopathy (a problem with blood clotting), haemorrhage (bleeding), cardiovascular collapse (the heart and blood vessels failing) and cardiac arrest (the heart stopping). One of the main components is pseutarin-C, a prothrombinase complex that breaks down prothrombin, a substance needed for blood to clot.1

यसले टोक्यो भने
- प्रेसर इमोबिलाइजेसन (दबाब दिएर स्थिर राख्ने उपचार): टोकेको ठाउँमाथि कसिलो इलास्टिक ब्यान्डेज बेर, त्यसपछि पूरै हात वा खुट्टामा माथितिर बेर्दै जाऊ, स्प्लिन्ट (टेको) लगाऊ, र मद्दत नआएसम्म व्यक्तिलाई पूरै स्थिर राख।
- टोकेको ठाउँ नधोऊ: सही एन्टिभेनम छान्न अस्पतालले छालामा बाँकी रहेको विष जाँच्न सक्छ।
सधैँ पहिले आफ्नो आपतकालीन नम्बरमा फोन गर (112, 000, 911)। यो सामान्य प्राथमिक उपचार मार्गदर्शन हो, चिकित्सकीय सल्लाह होइन। प्राथमिक उपचारका आधारभूत कुरा
सुरक्षित रहू
- जंगली जनावरलाई कहिल्यै नछोऊ, नसमात वा नजिस्काऊ, सानो भए पनि, र सुतेको वा मरेको जस्तो देखिए पनि।
- यसलाई ठाउँ देऊ। कुनै भेट्यौ भने शान्त रहू, बिस्तारै पछाडि हट र त्यसलाई आफ्नै बाटो जान देऊ।
- कुनैले तिमीलाई टोक्यो भने: शान्त रहू, नचलीकन बस, आफ्नो आपतकालीन नम्बरमा (112, 000, 911) फोन गर वा छिटो अस्पताल पुग। त्यो कस्तो देखिन्थ्यो सम्झ, फोटोले मद्दत गर्छ।
यो तिमीलाई खोज्दै हिँडेको होइन। यसले आफ्नो विष खाना समात्न वा आफूलाई बचाउन प्रयोग गर्छ, र यो त लुक्न नै रुचाउँछ। सुरक्षित रहने बारे थप

तथ्यहरू
In December 2023, an eastern brown snake paused a match at the Brisbane International tennis tournament for 40 minutes until a professional snake catcher removed it.1
In winter, it brumates (goes into a state of rest like hibernation). Groups have been found sheltering under concrete slabs of houses in Sydney.1
Its fangs are small compared with other Australian venomous snakes, averaging 2.8 mm and reaching up to 4 mm in larger specimens.1
Within its genus, it has the largest number of chromosomes, at 38 in its cells.1
Local Aboriginal peoples in Sydney, the Illawarra and the Wiradjuri region had their own names for it, and the Dharawal and Awabakal held ceremonies for it.1
भ्रम तोड्ने
भ्रम: Young and adult brown snakes are different species.
सत्य: Early scientists thought they were different because their markings differ. Later research showed that the markings of young snakes fade as they grow, and all these forms are the same species.1
