    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.

  • 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.

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

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