The Argentinian coral snake is a venomous snake that lives in central South America, especially the Dry Chaco region. It is large for its group, and its bright red, white and black rings make it easy to spot. Its venom is powerful, so it is important to know what it looks like and to give it plenty of room.1

怎麼認出牠

  • Red, white and black rings run around the whole body.1
  • The black rings come in groups of three, called triads. There are 5 to 9 triads on the body.1
  • The middle black ring of each triad is wider than the black rings on either side of it.1
  • The white rings are narrow, about three scales wide, and the scales have black tips.1
  • Adults usually measure 70 to 90 cm, including the tail.1

毒液力量

咬

咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用?

This snake has a powerful venom. The estimated lethal dose for an adult human is 8 to 10 mg (dry weight). In milking studies, the average venom yield was 8 mg, but the maximum yield was 80 mg, which is eight to ten times the estimated lethal dose.1

牠對人有多危險?

對人的危險: 非常危險如果沒有治療,牠可能會害死一個人。

Its venom is powerful, and the estimated lethal dose for an adult human is 8 to 10 mg.1

如果牠咬人

  • 讓傷者保持不動和冷靜,並趕快送醫院,就算咬傷看起來很小也一樣:症狀可能幾個小時後才出現。

一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識

注意安全

  • 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
  • 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
  • 如果被牠咬了:保持冷靜,保持不動,打緊急電話(112、000、911)或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子,有照片會很有幫助。

牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己,而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識

小知識

1

The maximum venom yield recorded from a milked snake was 80 mg, which is eight to ten times the estimated lethal dose for an adult human.1

2

At 1.24 m, the largest recorded specimen is about as long as a small child is tall. This is large for the genus Micrurus.1

3

Males and females look alike in their scale counts. This is unusual for the genus, where the sexes often differ.1

4

Its colour pattern of red, white and black rings is shared by many New World coral snakes.1
