Common cat snake
The common cat snake is a rear-fanged snake found across South Asia. It is active at night and hides during the day, often in houses. It is an excellent climber.1

怎麼認出牠
- Yellowish-olive or pale grey along the back1
- White or black-edged zigzag markings on the back, which may be connected1
- A distinct pale Y-shaped mark on top of the head, sometimes black-edged1
- White or tan belly, which can have a series of small brown spots along each side1
- Total length around 91 cm, including a tail of about 18 cm1
常被誤認為: It strongly resembles the venomous Echis carinatus in colour and shape. In India, the two species have almost identical geographic ranges.1
毒液力量
咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。
牠的毒液有什麼作用?
It is rear-fanged, so its fangs sit toward the back of the mouth. Its venom is mild and can paralyse small prey such as lizards, mice and small birds.1
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 輕微跟蜜蜂螫差不多或更輕微。對人基本上無害。Its venom is described as mild. It is common in many areas and often found in houses, but it is rarely seen because it is nocturnal.1
牠害怕時會做什麼?
When disturbed, it may coil tightly, strike repeatedly and vibrate its tail.1
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
