  • Mulga snake (king brown) (Pseudechis australis)

  • 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.

  • Dugite (Pseudonaja affinis)

    Olive to brown, sometimes with scattered black scales.

    Perth's most common venomous snake, often found in gardens and near bushland.

  • 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.

  • 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.
