Red-naped snake

Furina diadema

无害对人无害。不用担心。

咬伤吃：肉

The red-naped snake is a small venomous snake with a bright red or orange patch on the back of its neck. It lives in many parts of eastern and central Australia, mostly hunting at night. It is special because it looks very like the young eastern brown snake, which is far more dangerous.1

首页

It lives on the ground in dry woodlands and forests, coastal forests and heaths, tussock grasslands and shrublands, and mostly keeps away from wet areas such as rainforests. It shelters under rocks, fallen timber, woodpiles, old sheets of iron, leaves, in ant or termite nests, and in cracks and abandoned burrows.1

它吃什么？

It eats small skinks, which are lizards. It kills prey using both venom and constriction, and hunts in restricted places such as burrows and cracks. It eats more in the warmer months.1

怎样认出它

Small, slim snake, reaching a maximum length of about 45 cm1
Shiny black head and neck, with small black eyes and a head that looks partly flattened1
A white streak on the upper lip1
A well-defined orange or red patch on the back of the neck, shaped like a diamond, crescent or oval1
Red-brown body with dark edges to the scales, so the pattern looks like a net; the belly is cream or white1

常被误认为： The red-naped snake looks similar to the juvenile eastern brown snake. The eastern brown snake has a lighter band between its dark head and neck. Behaviour is the easiest difference: the eastern brown snake is active in the day, while the red-naped snake is nocturnal and is rarely seen unless its shelter is disturbed.1

毒液之力

咬伤

它咬的时候，毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。

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。

The red-naped snake is venomous, but it is considered harmless to humans. It can bite, and will do so if it is provoked enough.1

它害怕时会做什么？

When threatened, it strikes out several times with the front of its body raised off the ground, usually with its mouth closed.1

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。

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

It kills its prey with both venom and constriction, squeezing the prey in its coils.1

Its look is so close to the young eastern brown snake that behaviour is often the only way to tell them apart.1

Its neck patch is one of its clearest markings: an orange or red shape on an otherwise black head and neck.1

It is nocturnal, so it is rarely seen unless its hiding place is disturbed.1
