The banded krait is a venomous snake with black and yellow bands around its body. It lives across much of Asia, from India through Southeast Asia to southern China. It matters because its venom is strongly neurotoxic, which means it attacks the nerves, and it can be lethal to people.1

毒液之力

咬伤

它咬的时候，毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。

它的毒液会造成什么？

The venom mainly contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves. The major effects include vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and dizziness. Severe envenomation can cause respiratory failure, and death may occur through suffocation. The venom can also damage the kidneys if injected.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 非常危险不治疗可能会害死人。

A clinical toxicology study gives an untreated mortality rate of 1 to 10 per cent. Contact with humans is rare, and defensive bites are thought to result in very low envenomation. At night the snake is more active and is widely considered more dangerous.1

好消息：医生有药（抗毒血清）或治疗方法。1

它害怕时会做什么？

When harassed, it usually hides its head under its coils and does not generally attempt to bite.1

如果它咬人

Polyvalent antivenoms are available in India and Indonesia.1

事实

The banded krait's venom yield is the highest of any krait because of its size, even though its toxicity is lower than that of many other kraits.1

It is the longest krait with a distinguishable gold and black pattern.1

Banded kraits are mainly nocturnal, and during the day they lie up in grass, pits or drains.1
