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

Glossy black on top with red or pink lower sides.

Flattens its neck when threatened. Back away slowly.
- 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.

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