The mangrove snake is a large, tree-climbing snake with yellow and black bands. It lives in Southeast Asia and is one of the biggest cat snake species. It is mildly venomous, and it is often mistaken for a much more dangerous snake, the banded krait.1

Ho e tseba jwang

  • Black above, with yellow bands across the back1
  • Yellow lips with black edges1
  • Black or bluish underside, sometimes speckled with yellow, and a yellow throat1
  • Can grow to about 240 to 270 cm long1
  • Has a triangular body cross-section1

Hangata e ferekanngwa le: The mangrove snake can be confused with the banded krait, which has alternating black and yellow crossbands and a triangular body. The banded krait is extremely venomous, so treat any black and yellow banded snake with caution.1

Chefo ya yona (eo e e kenyang ka ho loma kapa ho hlaba) e etsang?

The snake has rear fangs and a venom gland linked to them. It has to chew to release the venom, which is released gradually. Its venom is weak, and the rear fangs are small, so it is hard for the snake to sink them into a person's arm or leg. Moderate bites have caused intense swelling.1

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

Kotsi ho batho: E bohlokoE ka utlwisa bohloko haholo, empa hoo e batlang e le kamehla ha e kotsi haholo.

It is considered mildly venomous. Moderate bites have caused intense swelling, but there has never been a confirmed death, as of 2016.1

E etsang ha e tshohile?

It is a potentially defensive snake that may strike repeatedly, even when captive bred.1
