怎样认出它

  • Medium-sized with a slender body, reaching up to 1.8 metres in total length.1
  • Red head, red tail and red belly.1
  • Back is dark blue or black.1
  • Usually has a large blue or white stripe on each side of the body.1

常被误认为: The pink-headed reed snake (Calamaria schlegeli) is often confused with it, especially when young, because they share habitat and appearance. The reed snake is much smaller, at most 50 cm, and is not venomous. The red-headed krait (Bungarus flaviceps) is also very similar.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?

Its venom contains a neurotoxin, which is a venom that attacks the nerves. Calliotoxin causes almost instant paralysis in prey by stopping the prey's sodium channels from switching off properly. This effect has not been seen in humans. The venom also contains phosphodiesterases, which release adenosine and can lower blood pressure and cause inflammation in prey and in bite victims.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。

Its venom has only occasionally caused human deaths, but it is potentially lethal. In people, local effects of a bite usually clear up without complications, and serious whole-body effects are rare.1

它害怕时会做什么?

When threatened it usually flees, but it may stay still and hold its red tail upright as a warning.1

如果它咬人

  • 让人保持安静不动,摘下戒指和紧身物品,尽快送医院:抗毒血清是治疗方法。

一定先拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)。这里是一般急救指导,不是医疗建议。 急救基础

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
