The king brown snake is a highly venomous snake and the largest land-dwelling venomous snake in Australia. It lives across northern, western and Central Australia. Its size and venom make it one of the most important snakes to recognise in the region.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua

  • A large, robust snake that can reach 2.0 to 2.5 m, with a maximum confirmed length of 3.3 m.1
  • Colour varies by area: tan in the north, and darker brown to blackish in the south.1
  • Scales are two-toned, giving the upper body a reticulated (net-like) pattern.1
  • The belly is cream, white or salmon, and often has orange marks.1
  • The head is slightly wider than the body, with small eyes that have red-brown irises and a dark tongue.1

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: King brown snakes can be confused with brown snakes of the genus Pseudonaja, olive pythons, water pythons, spotted mulga snakes and coastal taipans. In eastern brown snakes, the temporolabial scale and last supralabial scale (scales above the mouth) are fused. In king brown snakes, they are separate.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

The venom is not as potent as that of Australia's other dangerous snakes, but it can cause severe effects if delivered in large enough amounts. Its main effect is on striated (skeletal) muscle, which can cause paralysis through muscle damage. It also commonly affects blood clotting (coagulopathy).1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: Hatari sanaAnaweza kumuua mtu asiyepata matibabu.

Deaths from its bites have been recorded, with the most recent in 1969. Extensive pain and swelling often occur at the bite site, and necrosis (death of tissue) occurs rarely.1

Habari njema: madaktari wana dawa (ya kuzuia sumu) au matibabu ya hili.1

Akiuma

  • Victims are treated with black snake (not brown snake) antivenom.1
  • Kubana na kutotikisa: funga bandeji nyororo kwa nguvu juu ya jeraha kisha mguu au mkono mzima, weka banzi, na umweke mtu bila kutikisika kabisa hadi msaada ufike.
  • Usioshe mahali alipoumwa: hospitali inaweza kupima sumu iliyobaki kwenye ngozi ili kuchagua dawa sahihi ya kuzuia sumu.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

  • Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
  • Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
  • Akikuuma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

1

Its name causes a real problem: its venom is not neutralised by brown snake antivenom, so the name has been criticised by medical researchers.1

2

It is the largest terrestrial venomous snake in Australia.1

3

In the Kaytetye language of Central Australia, it is called atetherr-ayne-wene, meaning "budgerigar-eater".1

4

Despite its common name, it belongs to the black snake genus Pseudechis and is only distantly related to true brown snakes.1

5

Males are around 20% larger than females.1

6

It has been reported to live up to 25 years in captivity.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: Because it is called a brown snake, brown snake antivenom will treat its bite.

Ukweli: Its venom is not neutralised by brown snake antivenom. Victims are treated with black snake antivenom.1
