Uko wayimenya

  • 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

Ikunze kwitiranywa na: 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

  • Ntugasukure aho yarumye ukoresheje amazi: ibitaro bishobora gupima ubumara bwasigaye ku ruhu kugira ngo bihitemo umuti urwanya ubumara (antivenom) ukwiye.

Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze

Irinde akaga

  • Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
  • Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
  • Niba imwe ikurumye: tuza, ntunyeganyege, hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911) cyangwa ujye ku bitaro vuba. Ibuka uko yasaga, ifoto irafasha.

Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda
