Akkaataa itti beekamu

  • Highly variable in colour, from light brown to almost black1
  • Two distinct forms: 'orange with black head' and 'pale head, grey nape'1
  • Scales on the head often form a black V or W pattern1
  • Cream, yellow, orange or grey belly, often with dark orange or grey blotches1
  • Slender body and narrow head, with a large strap-like scale around the front of the snout1

Yeroo baay'ee kan itti wal fakkeessan: It is often confused with the eastern brown snake, which has a pink mouth lining, and the northern brown snake, which has a purplish or blue-black mouth lining. It is also confused with other brown snakes and the black-headed python. Telling species apart reliably requires scale counts, which should only be done by an experienced herpetologist.1

Ciniinnaa

Summiin isaa (ciniinnaa ykn iddiin) maal godha?

Its venom is neurotoxic, which attacks the nerves, and haemotoxic, which affects the blood. Its symptoms are severe and potentially fatal.1

Namootaaf hammam balaa qaba?

Balaa namootaaf: Baay'ee balaa qabaNama yaalii hin arganne ajjeesuu danda'a.

It is considered dangerously venomous. Its bite can cause severe symptoms resulting in death. A scratch from its fangs can still be fatal.1

Oduu gaarii: doktoroonni qoricha (qoricha farra summii, antivenom) ykn yaalii kanaaf qabu.1

Yeroo sodaatu maal godha?

When threatened, it raises the front part of its body into an S-shape, lifts its head off the ground and opens its mouth.1

Yoo ciniine

  • First aid must be applied and medical attention sought straight away. Brown snake antivenom is the treatment used in case of envenoming.1
  • Dhiibbaa fi sochii dhorkuu (pressure immobilisation): baandeejii lastikii jabaa bakka ciniiname irratti, sana booda harka ykn miila guutuu irra marsi, muka qajeelaa (splint) itti hidhi, hanga gargaarsi dhufutti namicha guutumaan guutuutti sochii malee tursiisi.
