Tiger snake
MorsasThe tiger snake is a large, highly venomous snake that lives in southern Australia, including its coastal islands and Tasmania. It gets its name from the black and yellow bands that look like a tiger's stripes, although its colours vary a lot. Its bite can be fatal, so it is one of the snakes that people in Australia are taught to respect and recognise.1
Co renconuscher el
- Banded pattern of darker bands that may be strongly contrasting or faint, in colours from pale to very dark.1
- Base colours of olive, yellow, orange-brown or jet-black, with a light yellow or orange underside.1
- Some populations have unbanded specimens, so bands alone are not a sure guide.1
- Typically about 1.2 metres long, with a robust body and a blunt head.1
Savens confundì cun: Colour is an unreliable way to tell tiger snakes apart, even between their own subspecies. Accurate identification is best done by an expert using a venom test kit or by counting the scales.1
Forza dal tissi

Tge fa ses tissi?
Tiger snake venom contains potent neurotoxins (which attack the nerves), coagulants (which affect blood clotting), haemolysins (which break down blood cells) and myotoxins (which damage muscle). Early symptoms include localised pain in the foot and neck region, tingling, numbness and sweating. Breathing difficulties and paralysis can then follow fairly quickly.1
Quant privlus è el per umans?
Privel per umans: MortalIn dals animals ils pli privlus dal mund.Tiger snakes accounted for 17% of identified snakebite victims in Australia between 2005 and 2015, with four deaths from 119 confirmed envenomations. They are potentially fatal to humans. Among snakebite deaths in Australia, only the brown snake causes more. A study reported an untreated mortality rate of 40% to 60%.1

When threatened, the snake flattens its body and raises its head above the ground in a classic prestrike stance.1
Sch'el morda
- Use the pressure immobilisation method. Apply broad, thick bandages over the bite, then continue down and back along the limb to the armpit or groin. Immobilise the limb with a splint. Identifying the snake is not necessary in Tasmania, because the same antivenom treats all Tasmanian snakes.1

Fatgs
The venom yield is 35 to 65 milligrams, while the lethal dose for a human is 3 milligrams.1
The Chappell Island tiger snake is the giant of the species, averaging over 6 feet (about 1.9 metres) in length.1
Tiger snakes can be found swimming, climbing into trees and entering buildings.1
Tiger snakes are protected in most Australian states, and killing or injuring one can lead to a fine of up to A$7,500.1
Tiger snakes are tolerant of low temperatures and may be active on warmer nights.1
Tasmanian tiger snakes tend to be quiet, probably because they live in cooler areas.1
Destructur da mits
Mit: You can tell a tiger snake's type from its colour.
Vardad: Colour varies widely between individuals and seasons, so it is an unreliable way to identify a snake. A venom test kit or scale count is more accurate.1
