- Most adults have an indistinct black 'monocle' mark on the hood, which is a single ring-like mark.1
- Juveniles are glossy black with narrow white cross-bars on the body and tail, which look like 'A' shapes from the side.1
- Juveniles have a distinct white monocle mark with a black centre, which turns black as the snake ages.1
- When threatened, it expands its neck to form a hood.1

注意安全
- 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
- 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
- 如果被它咬了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。
它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识
