Snakes around Kynuna

Based on species distribution maps and the regional guide for Queensland - Outback. 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.

  • 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.

  • Collett's black snake (Pseudechis colletti)

    A robust snake with a broad, blunt head. Dark brown to black with irregular salmon-pink or reddish patches and a cream to yellow-orange belly.

    Also known as Collett's snake or the Downs tiger snake, but it is a black snake relative. Highly venomous: keep your distance and call 000 for a suspected bite.
