The yellow-faced whip snake is a thin, fast snake with large eyes that lives across most of Australia. It is venomous, but its venom is mainly used on lizards and frogs, and it is not considered dangerous to people. It is one of the most widespread snakes found only in Australia.1

Sa lupa, tantiya lang

Ano ang kinakain nito?

Small lizards and lizard eggs are its main food, and it also eats geckos, lerista and frogs. It mainly hunts during the day and catches nocturnal prey at night. Young snakes constrict their prey, while adults usually inject venom to subdue it.1

Paano ito makikilala

Has a narrow, yellowish head with a pale ring around each eye1
A dark marking curves along the upper lip1
Colour ranges from olive green to grey and brown, often with a red flush along the upper third of the back1
Has large, prominent eyes, the largest of any Australian snake1
Young snakes have a white-edged dark line across the snout1

Madalas mapagkamalang: It is often confused with the eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis) because the two look similar. Identifying it accurately requires a clear view of the head and counting the dorsal scales at mid-body, which number 15 rows.1

Kung kumagat ito

Medical treatment should be sought after any snake bite.1
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
