Argentinian coral snake
The Argentinian coral snake is a venomous snake that lives in central South America, especially the Dry Chaco region. It is large for its group, and its bright red, white and black rings make it easy to spot. Its venom is powerful, so it is important to know what it looks like and to give it plenty of room.1

Kako jo prepoznaš
- Red, white and black rings run around the whole body.1
- The black rings come in groups of three, called triads. There are 5 to 9 triads on the body.1
- The middle black ring of each triad is wider than the black rings on either side of it.1
- The white rings are narrow, about three scales wide, and the scales have black tips.1
- Adults usually measure 70 to 90 cm, including the tail.1
Moč strupa

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?
This snake has a powerful venom. The estimated lethal dose for an adult human is 8 to 10 mg (dry weight). In milking studies, the average venom yield was 8 mg, but the maximum yield was 80 mg, which is eight to ten times the estimated lethal dose.1

Če ugrizne
- Poškodovanca drži pri miru in ga pomirjaj ter ga hitro odpelji v bolnišnico, tudi če je ugriz videti majhen: simptomi se lahko začnejo šele čez nekaj ur.

Ostani varen
- Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
- Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
- Če te ugrizne: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.
Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva
The maximum venom yield recorded from a milked snake was 80 mg, which is eight to ten times the estimated lethal dose for an adult human.1
At 1.24 m, the largest recorded specimen is about as long as a small child is tall. This is large for the genus Micrurus.1
Males and females look alike in their scale counts. This is unusual for the genus, where the sexes often differ.1
Its colour pattern of red, white and black rings is shared by many New World coral snakes.1
