The many-banded krait is an extremely venomous snake found in central and southern China and much of Southeast Asia. It is black or bluish-black with many white bands across its body. It matters because its bite can be fatal, and it is one of the most venomous land snakes in the world.1

Kako jo prepoznaš

  • The body is black to dark bluish-black.1
  • It has about 21 to 30 white or creamy white cross bands along its upper body.1
  • The short, pointed tail is black with 7 to 11 white cross bands.1
  • The head is mostly black, broad and oval, and slightly flat.1
  • Young snakes often have whitish blotches on the underside of the head.1

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: The Malayan krait (Bungarus candidus) is easily confused with this species. A 2017 genetic study found that many museum specimens labelled as many-banded kraits in China were actually Malayan kraits.1

Its venom contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves and the connections between nerves and muscles. Local effects are usually mild, with slight itching and numbness rather than serious swelling or pain. Symptoms usually start one to six hours after a bite and can include drooping eyelids, double vision, weakness, tongue paralysis, loss of voice and difficulty breathing.1

Estimated death rates from untreated bites vary between studies, from 25–35% to 70–100%. In a serious bite, breathing can stop and lead to death. In 2001, a juvenile bit the herpetologist Joe Slowinski in Myanmar and he died 29 hours later.1

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

It is generally timid and placid, but it is more defensive at night and thrashes about when handled.1

Če ugrizne

  • Poškodovanca drži pri miru in ga pomirjaj, odstrani prstane in tesne stvari ter ga hitro odpelji v bolnišnico: zdravljenje je protistrup.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

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

1

Its venom is among the most potent of any land snake, based on lab tests on mice dating back to 1943.1

2

In 2001, a juvenile bite in Myanmar killed Joe Slowinski, which drew worldwide attention to the species.1

3

The snake that bit Slowinski was first thought to be this species, but it was later classified as a different species.1

4

It is active from April and retreats into hibernation in November.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: American soldiers in the Vietnam War called it the "two-step snake", believing its venom could kill a person within two steps.

Resnica: Its symptoms usually start one to six hours after a bite, and death can take much longer. The two-step belief is wrong, and a bite still needs urgent medical care.1
