Bandy-bandy

The bandy-bandy is a small, glossy snake with bold black and white rings that go all the way round its body. It lives in Australia, mostly along the east coast. It is venomous, but its venom is weak and it is generally considered harmless to people.1

Ho e tseba jwang

  • Smooth, glossy scales1
  • Sharply contrasting black and white rings that continue right around the body1
  • A short tail with a blunt tip, unlike other elapid snakes1
  • Usually 50 to 60 cm long including the tail1

Hangata e ferekanngwa le: Other bandy-bandy species look similar and live in different regions. They are told apart by the presence of a pair of small scales on the head (internasals), the number of black bands on the body and tail, and the number of belly scales.1

Bandy-bandy venom is weak, and its effects are mostly limited to the area around the bite. Its mouth is small and it is not aggressive, so it rarely bites people.1

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

The bandy-bandy is generally considered harmless to people because of its small mouth and inoffensive nature.1

Dintlha

1

Blind snakes can be bigger than the bandy-bandy that eats them. Bandy-bandies have been seen with prey sticking out of their mouths while they slowly digest it.1

2

Bandy-bandies can follow the chemical trail of a blind snake. In one study they followed trails for an average of 0.93 metres, and some followed a full 1.4-metre trail.1

3

Bandy-bandies are also called hoop snakes because of their striking rings.1

4

Females are much larger than males. In one study, the mean snout-vent length was 54.4 cm for females and 39.2 cm for males.1

5

Unlike other elapid snakes, the bandy-bandy has a blunt tail tip.1
