咬伤Peters' coral snake is a venomous snake that lives in the cloud forests of eastern Ecuador. It is found only in one province, Morona-Santiago, high on the eastern slope of the Andes mountains. It is a medium-sized snake for its group, and its colour pattern and light blue snout set it apart from most other New World coral snakes.1

长度
67 cm (2.2 ft)1

怎样认出它
- Red, white (or yellow) and black rings run around the body.1
- The black rings are not arranged in groups of three (triads), which is unusual for a coral snake.1
- There is light blue on the snout, which most other New World coral snakes do not have.1
- It is medium-sized for its genus, reaching a total length of up to 67 cm including the tail.1
常被误认为: Unlike most New World coral snakes, it has light blue on the snout and its black rings do not form triads. These features help tell it apart from related species.1

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
