Snakes around Bathampton

Based on species distribution maps and the regional guide for Central West. Ranges are approximate and do not confirm occurrence at a particular address.

  • Eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis)

    Slender and quick. Colour runs from pale tan to dark brown, and young ones can have dark bands.

    Responsible for more serious bites in Australia than any other snake. Give it plenty of room.

  • Red-bellied black snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus)

    Glossy black on top with red or pink lower sides.

    Shy and slow to bite, but the venom still needs hospital treatment.

  • Common death adder (Acanthophis antarcticus)

    Short and thick with a broad head and a thin, pale tail tip.

    Sits still rather than moving off, so it is easy to step near.

  • Yellow-faced whip snake (Demansia psammophis)

    Very thin and fast, grey-green with a pale ring around the eye.

    Bites are painful but rarely serious for adults. Still worth a check-up.

  • Eastern small-eyed snake (Cryptophis nigrescens)

    Shiny black above with a pink or cream belly and small eyes.

    Often mistaken for a red-bellied black. Bites need medical attention.

  • Carpet python (Morelia spilota)

    Thick bodied with a blotched pattern in browns, creams and olive.

    No venom, but a bite can still hurt. Great at keeping rats down.
