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

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.
- Carpet python (Morelia spilota)
