Texas coral snake
KuumwaThe Texas coral snake is a venomous snake with bright black, yellow and red rings. It lives in the southern and southwestern United States and in parts of northeastern and central Mexico. Its bite can cause paralysis, so it is important to recognise it and keep well away.1
Jinsi ya kumtambua
- Black, yellow and red rings, with the rings running onto the belly.1
- Smooth scales, a rounded head and round pupils.1
- Somewhat larger and stouter than the eastern coral snake.1
- Males are typically smaller than females.1
- Shy and secretive, and mostly active at night.1
Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Nonvenomous snakes copy the coral snake's colours as a form of Batesian mimicry. In the United States, the venomous coral snakes can be told apart by red rings touching yellow rings. The common rhyme "red and yellow, kill a fellow" is not always accurate because colours vary, and relying on it is dangerous.1
Nguvu ya sumu
Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
The snake has a pair of fixed, grooved fangs at the front of the upper jaw, and venom is injected through them. Its venom contains a neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves, and a myotoxin, which damages muscle. Bite victims may experience paralysis or myolysis (muscle breakdown), which can be potentially lethal.1
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: MbayaKuumwa kunahitaji daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.Before antivenom was available, the fatality rate of coral snake bites was estimated at 10%. Deaths were mainly caused by breathing or heart failure from paralysis. A single bite can deliver 10–12 mg of dry venom, about twice the lethal dose for an adult human of 5–7 mg. Many bites deliver no venom at all, known as dry bites.1
Habari njema: madaktari wana dawa (ya kuzuia sumu) au matibabu ya hili.1
Hufanya nini akiogopa?
When grabbed suddenly, or sometimes just when touched, it may thrash about, swing around and bite.1
Akiuma
- Remove any jewellery from a bitten limb, in case of severe swelling. Wrap the bite area moderately tightly in a wide cloth, and move the bitten limb as little as possible. Take the bite victim to the nearest hospital as soon as possible for advanced treatment, such as antivenom.1
- Mweke mtu bila kutikisika na mtulivu na umpeleke hospitali haraka, hata kama jeraha linaonekana dogo: dalili zinaweza kuanza saa kadhaa baadaye.
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
A single bite can deliver about twice the lethal dose for an adult human, yet many bites inject no venom at all.1
The Texas coral snake eats other snakes, including venomous ones, and will even eat its own kind.1
Colour variants exist in the wild, including albino, anerythristic, pastel and completely black (melanistic) snakes.1
Kuvunja dhana potofu
Dhana potofu: "Red and yellow, kill a fellow. Red on black, friend of Jack" is a reliable way to tell a coral snake from a harmless look-alike.
Ukweli: The rhyme is not always accurate because colour patterns vary, and relying on it is dangerous to both people and snakes.1
