Many-banded krait
The many-banded krait is an extremely venomous snake found in central and southern China and much of Southeast Asia. It is black or bluish-black with many white bands across its body. It matters because its bite can be fatal, and it is one of the most venomous land snakes in the world.1

Paano ito makikilala
- The body is black to dark bluish-black.1
- It has about 21 to 30 white or creamy white cross bands along its upper body.1
- The short, pointed tail is black with 7 to 11 white cross bands.1
- The head is mostly black, broad and oval, and slightly flat.1
- Young snakes often have whitish blotches on the underside of the head.1
Madalas mapagkamalang: The Malayan krait (Bungarus candidus) is easily confused with this species. A 2017 genetic study found that many museum specimens labelled as many-banded kraits in China were actually Malayan kraits.1
Lakas ng kamandag
Lumalabas ang kamandag sa pangil o ngipin nito kapag nangangagat ito.
Ano ang epekto ng kamandag nito?
Its venom contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves and the connections between nerves and muscles. Local effects are usually mild, with slight itching and numbness rather than serious swelling or pain. Symptoms usually start one to six hours after a bite and can include drooping eyelids, double vision, weakness, tongue paralysis, loss of voice and difficulty breathing.1
Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: NakamamatayIsa sa pinakamapanganib na hayop sa mundo.Estimated death rates from untreated bites vary between studies, from 25–35% to 70–100%. In a serious bite, breathing can stop and lead to death. In 2001, a juvenile bit the herpetologist Joe Slowinski in Myanmar and he died 29 hours later.1
Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?
It is generally timid and placid, but it is more defensive at night and thrashes about when handled.1
Kung kumagat ito
- Panatilihing hindi gumagalaw at kalmado ang tao, tanggalin ang mga singsing at masisikip na bagay, at pumunta agad sa ospital: antivenom ang gamutan.

Mag-ingat
- Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
- Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
- Kung kagatin ka ng isa: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.
Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact
Its venom is among the most potent of any land snake, based on lab tests on mice dating back to 1943.1
In 2001, a juvenile bite in Myanmar killed Joe Slowinski, which drew worldwide attention to the species.1
The snake that bit Slowinski was first thought to be this species, but it was later classified as a different species.1
It is active from April and retreats into hibernation in November.1
Myth buster
Mito: American soldiers in the Vietnam War called it the "two-step snake", believing its venom could kill a person within two steps.
Totoo: Its symptoms usually start one to six hours after a bite, and death can take much longer. The two-step belief is wrong, and a bite still needs urgent medical care.1
