  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
