Northern brown snake
The northern brown snake is a fast, highly venomous snake found across the north of Australia. It lives in dry country, woodlands and grasslands, and sometimes near towns. It matters because its bite can be deadly, so it is important to know what it looks like and to keep your distance.1

Paano ito makikilala
- Its back can be shades of orange-brown with flecks and bands, or it can be plain.1
- Its belly is cream to orange with pink blotches.1
- Some individuals have jet black heads.1
- Others have a black 'V' shape on the back of the neck, just below the head.1
- It grows up to 1.8 m in total length, including the tail.1
Madalas mapagkamalang: Some northern brown snakes have jet black heads, which can cause them to be confused with the black-headed python.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, nephrotoxins, which damage the kidneys, and a procoagulant, which affects blood clotting. Although its venom is not the most toxic in the brown snake genus, each bite can deliver a relatively large amount, so it has a high potential to cause a deadly bite. Human symptoms include headache, nausea or vomiting, abdominal pain, severe coagulopathy (serious blood clotting problems) and sometimes kidney damage.1
Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: NapakapanganibKaya nitong pumatay ng taong hindi nagamot.The northern brown snake has a high potential to deliver a deadly bite. The bite is usually painless and is difficult to see because the fangs are small, so a bite can go unnoticed. In dogs and cats, paralysis is also likely to occur.1
Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?
It usually prefers to retreat from danger, but it is very aggressive when disturbed or threatened and will defend itself if cornered.1
Kung kumagat ito
- Pressure immobilisation: balutin nang mahigpit ng elastic bandage ang kagat at pataas sa buong braso o binti, lagyan ng splint, at panatilihing ganap na hindi gumagalaw ang tao hanggang dumating ang tulong.
- Huwag hugasan ang kagat: masusuri ng ospital ang kamandag na naiwan sa balat para mapili ang tamang antivenom.
Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas
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
