怎样认出它

A dark band runs across the back of the neck, with a pale edge. This collar is less obvious in adults than in juveniles.1
A pale streak runs from the snout to the eye, and joins a pale streak behind the eye to make a teardrop-shaped marking on the head.1
Juveniles have a dark brown head and back that contrast with a paler underside.1
Adults are closer to olive-green on the head and back, and the back is a similar colour to the underside.1
Adults usually measure between 17.1 and 63.6 cm from snout to vent (the body, not including the tail).1

常被误认为： The closest species by location is D. rimicola. The collared whipsnake has a pale upper edge to its teardrop marking that extends across the face and joins the front band of the neck collar. It also has a greyish underside, which differs from most other Demansia species. Counting the ventral (belly) and subcaudal (under-tail) scales can also help with identification.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼，但几乎从不严重。

如果它咬人

加压固定法：用有弹性的绷带紧紧缠住咬伤处，再缠满整条肢体，用夹板固定，让人完全不动，直到救援到来。
不要清洗咬伤处：医院可以检测皮肤上残留的毒液，以选择正确的抗毒血清。

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

值得了解

事实

Females appear to ovulate at the same time each year, during spring.1

This snake lays eggs rather than giving birth to live young. A typical clutch has about 4 eggs.1

Males usually have more ventral and subcaudal scales and longer tails than females, but there is no significant size difference between the sexes.1
