The paradise tree snake is a snake that can glide through the air. It lives in forests in Southeast Asia, where it flattens its body and launches itself from treetops to travel between trees. It is special because it has no legs or wings, yet it can move through the air in a controlled way.1

怎样认出它

  • It has a long, cylindrical body with no legs or wings.1
  • When gliding, it stretches its body into a flattened strip using its ribs.1
  • In flight, its body moves in a wave-like motion while its head stays relatively steady.1

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？

It is mildly venomous and has enlarged teeth at the back of the upper jaw, known as rear fangs. Its venom is made in Duvernoy's glands, which are found in many related snakes. The venom is delivered by these rear fangs during a bite.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。

It is considered mildly venomous. Because it is uncommon and lives high in trees, bites to people are rare. One reported bite in 2013 was to a 45-year-old woman's right thumb when she tried to close her bedroom windows.1

如果它咬人

  • 清洗咬伤处，让人保持冷静并就医。有些种类（比如非洲树蛇）可能几小时后才致命。

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
