  • Eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis)

  • 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.

    Often banded in yellow and dark brown, but plenty are plain olive or black.

    Flattens its neck when threatened. Back away slowly.

  • Lowland copperhead (Austrelaps superbus)

    Coppery to dark brown, with pale bars on the lip scales.

    Out and about in cooler weather than most snakes.

  • 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.

  • 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.
