Indlela yokusibona

Highly variable in colour, from light brown to almost black1
Two distinct forms: 'orange with black head' and 'pale head, grey nape'1
Scales on the head often form a black V or W pattern1
Cream, yellow, orange or grey belly, often with dark orange or grey blotches1
Slender body and narrow head, with a large strap-like scale around the front of the snout1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: It is often confused with the eastern brown snake, which has a pink mouth lining, and the northern brown snake, which has a purplish or blue-black mouth lining. It is also confused with other brown snakes and the black-headed python. Telling species apart reliably requires scale counts, which should only be done by an experienced herpetologist.1

Amandla obuthi

Ukuluma

Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

Its venom is neurotoxic, which attacks the nerves, and haemotoxic, which affects the blood. Its symptoms are severe and potentially fatal.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Kuyingozi kakhuluSingabulala umuntu ongatholi kwelashwa.

It is considered dangerously venomous. Its bite can cause severe symptoms resulting in death. A scratch from its fangs can still be fatal.1

Izindaba ezinhle: odokotela banomuthi (i-antivenom) noma indlela yokwelapha lokhu.1

Senzani uma sesabile?

When threatened, it raises the front part of its body into an S-shape, lifts its head off the ground and opens its mouth.1

Uma siluma

First aid must be applied and medical attention sought straight away. Brown snake antivenom is the treatment used in case of envenoming.1
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
