Malayan krait
The Malayan krait is a snake with dark bands on a pale body. It lives in Southeast Asia, from Indochina south to the Indonesian islands of Java and Bali. It is one of the most venomous snakes in its region, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

怎麼認出牠
- Has 27 to 34 dark-brown, black or bluish-black crossbands running across the body and tail.1
- The dark bands are separated by broad, yellowish-white gaps, which may be spotted with black.1
- The belly is plain white.1
- Some populations, reportedly in West and Central Java, have an unbanded all-black form.1
- Can reach a total length of 108 cm, including a tail of about 16 cm.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?
The venom is highly neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves. Its main toxins are three-finger toxins and Kunitz-type inhibitors. These can cause progressive muscle paralysis that leads to respiratory failure, and in some cases heart and circulation problems such as high blood pressure and shock.1
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 致命世界上最危險的動物之一。The mortality rate is 60 to 70% in untreated humans. A bite injects about 5 mg of venom, and the lethal dose for a 75 kg adult is 1 mg.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
