The rough-scaled snake is a brown or olive Australian snake with a bad temper. It is highly venomous, so it is one to keep well away from. It lives in rainforests and wet forests along the east coast, from mid-eastern New South Wales to the far north of Queensland.1

怎麼認出牠

  • Brown to olive in colour, with narrow, irregular cross-bands or blotches of darker brown1
  • Belly is greenish-grey or olive-cream, often with darker blotches1
  • Mid-body scales have raised keels, which give a rough, ridged look1
  • Grows to around 70 cm in length1

常被誤認為: Its colouring and raised scales can cause confusion with the keelback snake, which is not venomous.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 is a fast-acting, powerful neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves. It contains both post-synaptic and pre-synaptic neurotoxins, which affect nerve signals in different ways. It also contains potent coagulants, which affect blood clotting, and 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 highly venomous. It will readily bite if attacked or handled, and several people have died from bites by this species.1

牠害怕時會做什麼?

It will strike rapidly when it feels threatened, and it bites readily if attacked or handled.1

如果牠咬人

  • 加壓固定法:用彈性繃帶緊緊包住咬傷處,再往上包住整條手臂或腿,用夾板固定,並讓傷者完全不動,直到救援抵達。
  • 不要清洗咬傷處:醫院可以檢驗留在皮膚上的毒液,選出正確的抗毒血清。

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

3

Its colouring and scales look similar to the non-venomous keelback snake, which can lead to confusion.1

4

Its closest relative is the tiger snake, according to a 2016 genetic analysis.1
