怎麼認出牠

  • Shiny black on the upper body, with whitish colour between the scales1
  • Creamy white underside with black edges, which get wider towards the tail1
  • Medium length and slender, with a triangular cross-section and a short, pointed tail1
  • Smooth, glossy scales, with the scales along the middle of the back enlarged and hexagonal1
  • Black eyes with round pupils, and a pinkish tongue with a lighter tip1

常被誤認為: The lesser black krait (Bungarus lividus) lives in the same areas. The greater black krait can be told apart by its enlarged hexagonal scales along the middle of the back.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?

Its venom contains presynaptic and postsynaptic neurotoxins, which attack the nerves, and may also contain myotoxins, which damage muscle.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。

It is a medically important species because it has caused many bites. The mortality rate is not known, but it is said to be quite high. It is an active, nocturnal snake, so people may be bitten at night.1

牠害怕時會做什麼?

When disturbed, it coils loosely and hides its head beneath its body, and it is reluctant to bite unless it is persistently provoked.1

如果牠咬人

  • 讓傷者保持不動和冷靜,取下戒指和緊身的東西,並趕快送醫院:抗毒血清就是治療方法。

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
