Brabham snake bite: 11-year-old girl, Zally, recounts moment she was bitten by tiger snake during scooter ride

An 11-year-old girl has survived a bite from one of the world’s most venomous snakes at a park in Perth’s north-eastern suburbs.

Teenage girl Zally was bitten by a tiger snake while riding a scooter in the local park in Brabham on Tuesday.

“All I heard was slithering and stuff like that, then I looked down and saw a snake… so I froze,” he told 7NEWS on Wednesday.

“My ankle was hurting, so I looked at it and it was bleeding. (I) drove as fast as I could towards my mom.”

Zally was taken to Midland Hospital by his mother before spending 12 hours under the close supervision of medical staff.

Fortunately, the poison from the reptile did not enter his system.

“They took a lot of blood every hour to see if it was like me, to see if my leg would clot or if my blood was changing from the poison,” Zally said.

Snake trainer Marcus Cosentino said that this challenging test reminded us to be careful with snakes that are more active in hot conditions in the summer months.

“If it’s in a public area and close to woodland, stand back, watch the snake so they can move back into the woodland,” he said.

“If there is a place of concern, such as a children’s playground, you can call local rangers.”

People bitten by a snake are advised to apply a tight pressure immobilization bandage around the bitten area.

The bandage should then extend all the way to the limb where the bite was recorded.

Snake bites are sometimes described as two small bloody thorn marks or may even appear as a scratch.

Tight pressure bandaging is a technique used to help slow the spread of poison throughout a person’s body.
