Ashe's spitting cobra
Sprizza u spidaAshe's spitting cobra is a large venomous snake from eastern and northeastern Africa. It is the largest of all the spitting cobras, and it can spray venom from a distance as well as bite. Its venom can cause blindness if it gets into the eyes and not treated at once.1
Co renconuscher el
- Very heavily built, with a big head1
- Colour ranges from light grey and pale mustard to dark brown1
- Pale along the belly, sometimes with slight speckling or blotches1
- A dark brown band across the throat1
- Average length about 1.3 to 2.0 m including the tail, making it the largest spitting cobra1
Savens confundì cun: It was once thought to be a brown form of the black-necked spitting cobra. It was classed as a separate species in 2007.1
Forza dal tissi
El sprizza u spida in liquid che piztga sin ses attatgaders.
Tge fa ses tissi?
Its venom is neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves, and cytotoxic, meaning it destroys cells. It is very similar to the venom of other spitting cobras, but it can inject a much larger volume in one bite. Its venom also causes strong tissue death around a wound.1
Quant privlus è el per umans?
Privel per umans: Fitg privlusEl po mazzar ina persuna che na survegn nagin tractament.The venom has low whole-body toxicity, so survival is very likely with proper treatment. Survivors may be left disfigured by tissue damage. If venom gets into the eyes and is not treated immediately, blindness is likely. Even with antivenom, amputation may be needed after a full dose from a large specimen.1
Bunas novitads: ils medis han in medicament (antiserum) u in tractament per quai.1
Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?
It is very defensive and does not hesitate to spit when it feels cornered. It can keep spitting for hours without running out of venom straight away.1
Sch'el morda u spida
- If venom gets into the eyes, rinse them straight away with water or another bland liquid, as delay can cause permanent blindness. Whether the person has been bitten or spat at, they should see a doctor as soon as possible. Treatment is the appropriate antivenom, SAVP polyvalent from South African Vaccine Producers, and the dose may need to be higher than for the average black-necked spitting cobra bite.1
- Tegna la persuna immobila e quieta, prenda giu anels e chaussas strenschidas e va spert en in ospital: l'antiserum è il tractament.
- Sch'il tissi è vegnì spidà en ils egls, lava ora quels immediat cun bler'aua netta.
Clama adina l'emprim tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911). Quai è in cussegl general d'emprim agid, betg in cussegl medicinal. Basa da l'emprim agid
Resta en segirezza
- Na tutga, na piglia e na tizza mai in animal selvadi, gnanc in pitschen, ed era sch'el para da durmir u d'esser mort.
- Dà spazi a l'animal. Sche ti scuntras in, resta calm, va plaun enavos e lascha ir el per sia via.
- Sch'in tal animal ta morda u ta spida tissi en ils egls: resta calm, na ta mova betg, clama tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911) u va spert en in ospital. Ta regorda co ch'el veseva or, ina foto gida.
El n'ha betg quai sin tai. El dovra ses tissi per pigliar nutriment u per sa defender, e sa zuppa bler pli gugent. Dapli davart la segirezza
