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

Paano ito makikilala

  • 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

Madalas mapagkamalang: 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

Lakas ng kamandag

Mga kagat

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, 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

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

Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?

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

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

Myth buster

Mito: The red-bellied black snake is harmless and not venomous, because it has no visible fangs.
