Hemprich's coral snake is a small, venomous snake that lives in the rain forests of northern South America. It spends most of its time hidden in leaf litter on the forest floor, so it is rarely seen. It is one of the many coral snakes whose bright black, white and orange bands warn that it is dangerous.1

怎样认出它

  • Triads of black rings separated by white rings, as in other coral snakes1
  • The black rings in each triad are very wide, and the white rings are very narrow1
  • The coloured rings between the triads are narrow and orange, not wide and red1
  • The anal plate (a scale near the tail) is undivided, which is unlike other Micrurus species1

常被误认为: Other coral snakes have wide red rings between their black-and-white triads. Hemprich's coral snake has narrow orange rings there instead, and its undivided anal plate sets it apart from all other Micrurus species.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

  • 让人保持安静不动,尽快送医院,即使咬伤看起来很小:症状可能几小时后才出现。

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
