随着澳大利亚春季到来，蛇类活动季节开始。澳大利亚拥有超过170种陆地和海洋蛇类，其中约100种具有毒性，12种可能致命1。在2024-25年期间，超过2100名澳大利亚人因蛇咬伤入院治疗1。
蛇类在冬季进入"brumation"状态而非完全冬眠，代谢率下降以保存能量，现在正随着气温升高而活跃起来1。WIRES发言人John Grant建议民众不要接近蛇类、不要尝试捕捉或移动蛇，也不要试图杀死蛇1。专家同时警告不要模仿社交媒体上的蛇捕捉视频自行操作，而应联系专业人士处理遇到的蛇类1。
As spring arrives in Australia, snakes are beginning to emerge and increase their activity across the country.1 Australia is home to more than 170 species of land and sea snakes, with approximately 100 venomous varieties and 12 species capable of delivering fatal bites.1 During the 2024-25 period, more than 2,100 Australians were hospitalized due to snake bites.1
Experts emphasize the importance of proper safety protocols when encountering snakes. Snakes do not enter complete hibernation during cooler months but rather enter a state called "brumation," during which their metabolic rate decreases to conserve energy.1 According to John Grant, a spokesperson for WIRES, key safety measures include avoiding close proximity to snakes, refraining from attempting to capture or move them, and avoiding efforts to kill them.1 Grant and other specialists warn against attempting to replicate snake-catching techniques seen on social media, as such actions can result in injury.1 Instead, residents who encounter snakes should contact professional handlers to manage the situation safely.1
