怎样认出它

Short, thick and slightly flat in body1
Eyes set at the top of the head, with a conspicuous iris1
Yellowish-brown to olive-green back, broken by irregular, ragged-edged, narrow dark bands1
Tail does not taper abruptly, and the head is not broad and triangular1

常被误认为： It is sometimes confused with death adders, as both have thick, banded bodies. The De Vis' banded snake's tail does not taper abruptly, and its head is not broad and triangular.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 严重被咬了要去看医生。死亡非常罕见。

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
