Hemprich's coral snake
Hemprich's coral snake is a small, venomous snake that lives in the rain forests of northern South America. It spends most of its time hidden in leaf litter on the forest floor, so it is rarely seen. It is one of the many coral snakes whose bright black, white and orange bands warn that it is dangerous.1

怎麼認出牠
- Triads of black rings separated by white rings, as in other coral snakes1
- The black rings in each triad are very wide, and the white rings are very narrow1
- The coloured rings between the triads are narrow and orange, not wide and red1
- The anal plate (a scale near the tail) is undivided, which is unlike other Micrurus species1
常被誤認為: Other coral snakes have wide red rings between their black-and-white triads. Hemprich's coral snake has narrow orange rings there instead, and its undivided anal plate sets it apart from all other Micrurus species.1
毒液力量
咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 嚴重被咬了需要看醫生。死亡案例非常罕見。
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
Velvet worms make up most of its diet, which is why one of its common names is the worm-eating coral snake.1
Its black rings are very wide and its white rings very narrow, which sets its colour pattern apart from other coral snakes.1
Its anal plate is undivided, a feature found in no other species of the genus Micrurus.1
It is terrestrial and mostly burrowing (fossorial), so much of its life is spent under the ground and in leaf litter.1
