The red-bellied black snake is a venomous snake found along the east coast of Australia, where it is one of the most commonly met snakes. It is glossy black on top, with bright red or orange sides. It often lives near water, and it sometimes turns up in backyards in towns and cities.1

Ho e tseba jwang

  • Glossy black upperparts with a light-grey snout and a completely black tail1
  • Bright red or orange flanks that fade to a pink or dull red belly1
  • No well-defined neck, so the head merges into the body1
  • Adults average about 1.25 m in total length, including the tail1

Hangata e ferekanngwa le: Juveniles look similar to the eastern small-eyed snake, but that species lacks red flanks. Other similar snakes include the blue-bellied black snake and copperheads of the genus Austrelaps.1

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

Its venom contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves, myotoxins, which damage muscle, and coagulants, which affect blood clotting. It also has haemolytic properties, meaning it can break down red blood cells. Bites can cause severe pain, local swelling, prolonged bleeding and local tissue death, especially on a finger. Victims can also lose their sense of smell, and nausea, vomiting, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhoea or heavy sweating can follow.1

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

Kotsi ho batho: E tebilengHo longwa ho hloka ngaka. Lefu le etsahala ka seoelo haholo.

No deaths have been recorded from its bite. It is less venomous than many other Australian elapid snakes, but it can still cause significant illness. It accounted for 16% of identified snakebite victims in Australia between 2005 and 2015. Severe local reactions may need surgery or, rarely, amputation.1

E etsang ha e tshohile?

It is not aggressive and usually withdraws. If provoked, it raises its head and front body into a striking stance, widens and flattens its neck, and may bite as a last resort.1

It can stay underwater for as long as 23 minutes after fleeing into water.1

2

Some populations have evolved increased resistance to cane toad toxin in less than 75 years.1

3

Males of the species may wrestle in ritualised combat in spring, and rarely bite while doing so.1

4

A male was reported to travel 1,220 m in a single day while roaming for mates in spring.1

5

In winter it becomes relatively inactive rather than truly hibernating, and groups of up to six have been found under concrete slabs.1

Ho senya ditshomo
