Also known as: common brown snake Found: throughout the eastern half of mainland Australia. Fast-moving, aggressive and known for their bad temper, eastern brown snakes, together with other browns are responsible for more deaths every year in Australia than any other group of snakes.
Not only is their venom ranked as the second most toxic of any land snake in the world based on tests on mice , they thrive in populated areas, particularly on farms in rural areas with mice.
Its venom causes progressive paralysis and stops the blood from clotting, which may take many doses of antivenom to reverse. Victims may collapse within a few minutes. Also known as: gwardar Found: widespread over most of mainland Australia — absent only from the wetter fringes of eastern Australia and south-western Western Australia. Said to be less aggressive than its eastern cousin, the western brown snake is still highly dangerous and part of the group of snakes that causes the most fatalities in Australia.
Western browns tend to be fast moving and nervous in temperament. When disturbed, they will run for cover, striking quickly if cornered, then making a quick getaway. Bites are usually painless and difficult to see due to the small fang marks. Victims will experience headache, nausea, abdominal pain, severe coagulopathy blood clotting disorder and sometimes kidney damage. Also known as : common tiger snake Found : along the south-eastern coast of Australia, from New South Wales and Victoria to Tasmania and the far corner of South Australia.
Mainland tiger snakes are responsible for the second-highest number of bites in Australia, as they inhabit highly populated areas along the east coast, including some metropolitan areas of Melbourne. They are attracted to farms and outer suburban houses, where they hunt mice nocturnally and can easily be trodden on by unsuspecting victims in the darkness.
Bites are fatal if untreated, causing pain in the feet and neck, tingling, numbness and sweating, followed by breathing difficulties and paralysis. The venom also damages the blood and muscles, leading to renal failure.
Adult snakes are usually but not always banded, with ragged stripes varying in colour from pale yellow to black along a solid, muscular body that can grow to 2m.
When threatened, they flatten their necks and strike low to the ground. Also known as : fierce snake or small-scaled snake Found : in cracks and crevices in dry rocky plains where the Queensland, South Australia, New South Wales and Northern Territory borders converge.

Hunting in the confined space of the burrows of the long-haired rat, the inland taipan uses its potent venom to finish off prey quickly, injecting more than 40, times the amount needed to kill a g rat.
The prey has little chance of fighting back. Only a handful of people all snake handlers have been bitten by this species. Each survived with first aid and hospitalisation.
Also known as: eastern taipan Found : in an arc along the east coast from northern New South Wales to Brisbane and northern Western Australia. They are fond of sugarcane fields. Coastal taipans are equipped with the longest fangs of any Australian snake 13mm , and have the third most toxic venom of any land snakes. Before the introduction of a specialised antivenom in , taipan bites were nearly always fatal and caused many human deaths.
