  • 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.

    Flattens its neck when threatened. Back away slowly.

  • Common death adder (Acanthophis antarcticus)

    Bites are painful but rarely serious for adults. Still worth a check-up.
