The pygmy copperhead is a small, venomous snake found only in South Australia, mainly on Kangaroo Island and in the Fleurieu Peninsula and Mount Lofty Ranges. It is the smallest of the Australian copperheads. Its venom is dangerous, so prompt medical treatment matters.1

Ululu wake umachita chiyani?

The venom is strongly neurotoxic, which means it attacks the nerves, and its toxicity is similar to that of the Indian cobra. It is weakly coagulant and strongly anticoagulant, meaning it can both disrupt blood clotting and destroy blood and muscle. Without prompt treatment, a bite can cause possibly irreversible damage to nerve endings.1

Bites are considered possibly lethal. The snake is not known for being aggressive and is unlikely to attack unless it is stepped on or purposely provoked.1

Imachita chiyani ikachita mantha?

It is generally unobtrusive and usually hides under leaf litter, old iron and haystacks.1

Ikaluma

  • Prompt antivenom treatment is essential, because bites are considered lethal without it. Antivenom developed from tiger snake venom cannot completely neutralise the neurotoxicity of pygmy copperhead venom.1
  • Kumanga ndi kusasuntha (pressure immobilisation): manga bandeji yotanuka mwamphamvu pamene walumidwa kenako mmwamba chiwalo chonse, ika chogwiriziza (splint), ndipo munthuyo akhale chete osasuntha konse mpaka thandizo litafika.

Mfundo

1

Sightings on islands near Tasmania are probably the result of snakes stowing away on boats.1

2

It is the only snake endemic to South Australia.1

3

It is the smallest of the Australian copperhead snakes.1

4

Its litter size is about half that of the other Australian copperheads, which is linked to its smaller body size.1

5

In field research, only about two thirds of surveyed adult females were reproductive, which suggests females do not breed every year.1

Kuthetsa nthano zabodza

Nthano yabodza: Because it is small and not aggressive, the pygmy copperhead is harmless.

Zoona: Its venom is strongly neurotoxic, and its bite is considered possibly lethal without prompt antivenom treatment.1
