Bandy-bandy
The bandy-bandy is a small, glossy snake with bold black and white rings that go all the way round its body. It lives in Australia, mostly along the east coast. It is venomous, but its venom is weak and it is generally considered harmless to people.1

Indlela yokusibona
- Smooth, glossy scales1
- Sharply contrasting black and white rings that continue right around the body1
- A short tail with a blunt tip, unlike other elapid snakes1
- Usually 50 to 60 cm long including the tail1
Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: Other bandy-bandy species look similar and live in different regions. They are told apart by the presence of a pair of small scales on the head (internasals), the number of black bands on the body and tail, and the number of belly scales.1
Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.
Ubuthi baso benzani?
Bandy-bandy venom is weak, and its effects are mostly limited to the area around the bite. Its mouth is small and it is not aggressive, so it rarely bites people.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.The bandy-bandy is generally considered harmless to people because of its small mouth and inoffensive nature.1
Uma siluma
- Ukubopha ngokucindezela nokuvimba ukunyakaza (pressure immobilisation): bopha ibhandeshi elinwebekayo eliqinile phezu kwenxeba bese ukhuphuka nesitho sonke, usiqinise nge-splint, futhi ugcine umuntu engashukumi nhlobo kuze kufike usizo.
- Ungaligezi inxeba lokulunywa: izibhedlela zingahlola ubuthi obusele esikhumbeni ukuze zikhethe i-antivenom efanele.
Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala
Hlala uphephile
- Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
- Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Uma sikuluma: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.
Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile
Sikhulu kangakanani?

Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.

Amaqiniso
Blind snakes can be bigger than the bandy-bandy that eats them. Bandy-bandies have been seen with prey sticking out of their mouths while they slowly digest it.1
Bandy-bandies can follow the chemical trail of a blind snake. In one study they followed trails for an average of 0.93 metres, and some followed a full 1.4-metre trail.1
Bandy-bandies are also called hoop snakes because of their striking rings.1
Females are much larger than males. In one study, the mean snout-vent length was 54.4 cm for females and 39.2 cm for males.1
Unlike other elapid snakes, the bandy-bandy has a blunt tail tip.1
