Snakes around Kulwin

Based on species distribution maps and the regional guide for Far West and Orana. 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.

  • Mulga snake (king brown) (Pseudechis australis)

    Heavy bodied and copper to dark brown, often with a netted look to the scales.

    Despite the nickname it is a black snake relative, not a brown snake.

  • Western brown snake (gwardar) (Pseudonaja mengdeni)

    Very variable. Can be plain brown, banded, or have a dark head and neck.

    Fast and nervous. Treat any brown snake as dangerous.

  • 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)

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

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