Rough-scaled snake
The rough-scaled snake is a brown or olive Australian snake with a bad temper. It is highly venomous, so it is one to keep well away from. It lives in rainforests and wet forests along the east coast, from mid-eastern New South Wales to the far north of Queensland.1

怎样认出它
- Brown to olive in colour, with narrow, irregular cross-bands or blotches of darker brown1
- Belly is greenish-grey or olive-cream, often with darker blotches1
- Mid-body scales have raised keels, which give a rough, ridged look1
- Grows to around 70 cm in length1
常被误认为: Its colouring and raised scales can cause confusion with the keelback snake, which is not venomous.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。
