LIGTRAP en versigtig loop, want ssssslange doen al meer gereelde huisbesoek.<\/p>\n
Dit is egter nie \u2019n geval dat slange nou meer dikwels van oral af in plekke inseil waar hulle nie welkom is nie. Die kanse is net groter dat inwoners, wat ingehok is, slange nou meer te\u00ebkom. <\/p>\n
Sarel Breytenbach (31), slangkenner en bewaringsman van Jeffreysbaai, kan deesdae skaars voorbly soos benoude Kouga-inwo-ners hom vra om slange uit hul tuine, huise en ondernemings te kom verwyder. <\/p>\n
Hy het die afgelope week nagenoeg 45 slange in woonbuurte gevang.<\/p>\n
Verlede Donderdag moes hy \u2019n pofadder tussen dakte\u00ebls van \u2019n huis in Wavecrest in Jeffreysbaai uithaal. Daarna moes hy `n tamaaie Kaapse kobra in Humansdorp aankeer.<\/p>\n
Met die slang gevang, moes hy dieselfde dag ook \u2019n rinkhals in die o\u00eb kyk.<\/p>\n
Volgens Breytenbach, die stigter en eienaar van Kouga Snakes ID and Removals sedert Januarie 2019, het hy die afgelope jaar meer as \u2018n 1 000 slange regoor Kouga en Kareedouw verwyder.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Taak wat hy binne vyf minute afhandel.<\/p>\n
Elke slang gaan vir \u2019n twee-week rehabilitasie periode saam met hom huis toe waar hy seker maak ta het geen beserings opgedoen nie \u2013 eers dan word hulle 3km buite Jeffreysbbaai in die veld losgelaat. <\/p>\n
Oor die afgelope twee jaar is hy net 20 keer gepik \u2013 gelukkig nie deur \u2019n dodelike slang nie.<\/p>\n
Hy lag: \u201cHoewel di\u00e9 gevaar deel van die werk is, probeer jy om ni\u00e9 gepik te word nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit is belangrik om die slang se lyftaal te lees en te verstaan.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n Gevaarlikste kalante<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Breytenbach waarsku: \u201cDie twee gevaarlikste kalante wat jy dalk op jou voorstoep kan raakloop, is die pofadder en die boomslang. Nommer drie is die Kaapse kobra gevolg deur die rinkhals (spoeg-kobra). Dan is daar ook die nagadder. <\/p>\n
\u201cOnskadelike slange sluit in: die groen waterslang, gespikkelde molslang en bruin huis-slang wat volop in Suid-Afrika voorkom, asook die gespikkelde skaapsteker en rooilippie. Laasgenoemde kom volop in tuine voor, veral as dit re\u00ebn. Di\u00e9 slang, wie se stapelvoedsel paddas is, is matig giftig en pyn kan na \u2019n byt voorkom.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die slangman is \u2019n geregistreerde lid van Cape Snake Conservation en Africa Snake Bite Institute, en werk n\u00f3\u00fa saam met die Kouga-munisipaliteit en dierebeskermingsvereniging in Humansdorp. <\/p>\n
\n K\u00e9n jou slange<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het al baie oproepe gekry van \u2018daar is \u2019n boomslang in my huis!\u2019 dan was dit nooit een nie,\u201d s\u00ea Breytenbach. \u201cDie boomslang wat hier voorkom, is geel en swart (mannetjies) en bruin (wyfies) \u2013 en nie groen nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit is belangrik dat mense die regte slange kan identifiseer, veral wanneer iemand gepik is \u2013 dit sal die behandeling van die pasi\u00ebnt bepaal en die verskil tussen lewe en dood kan maak.<\/p>\n
\u201cNeem \u2019n foto met jou kamera of selfoon van die slang. Indien dit nie moontlik is nie, let op die verskillende simptome. Die pofadder bevat bv sitotoksiese gif, terwyl die Kaapse kobra neurotoksiese gif bevat en die boomslang hemotoksiese gif.\u201d Elke soort gif het \u2018n ander uitwerking en veroorsaak verskillende simptome.<\/p>\n
Ander kenmerke sluit in: kleur, vorm van die kop (hoe meer diamantvormig die kop, hoe meer gevaarlik is die slang), lengte, dikte en omgewing waar die slang voorkom. <\/p>\n
Breytenbach waarsku inwoners om nie eie behandeling toe te pas nie, maar reguit hospitaal toe te gaan. \u201cMoenie \u2019n drukverband aanwend of die vel sny om die gif te probeer uitsuig nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n Help red die slange<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Sy dringende versoek aan diegene wat slange in hul huise, tuine, kantore, winkels of fabrieke vind, is om nie di\u00e9 kosbare skakel in die ekostelsel op \u2019n instinktiewe manier te verbrysel nie. <\/p>\n
Iets wat hom summier omkrap.<\/p>\n
\u201cMense, wat vir slange bang is, is bang weens onkunde,\u201d s\u00ea Breytenbach wat meen mense maak slange te maklik dood. <\/p>\n
\u201cNeem \u2019n foto, stuur dit na my of enige ander slangvanger, probeer dit in \u2019n kamer toemaak of bly dit dophou totdat ons dit veilig kan kom verwyder,\u201d s\u00ea Breytenbach.<\/p>\n
