Hello arano
King brown snakes are habitat generalists. They live in woodlands, grasslands, scrublands and sandy or stony deserts, and prefer wetter areas such as watercourses in dry regions. They are often found in wheat fields, rubbish piles and empty buildings, and sometimes become trapped in mine shafts.1

  • A large, robust snake that can reach 2.0 to 2.5 m, with a maximum confirmed length of 3.3 m.1
  • Colour varies by area: tan in the north, and darker brown to blackish in the south.1
  • Scales are two-toned, giving the upper body a reticulated (net-like) pattern.1
  • The belly is cream, white or salmon, and often has orange marks.1
  • The head is slightly wider than the body, with small eyes that have red-brown irises and a dark tongue.1

No jiibondiree e: King brown snakes can be confused with brown snakes of the genus Pseudonaja, olive pythons, water pythons, spotted mulga snakes and coastal taipans. In eastern brown snakes, the temporolabial scale and last supralabial scale (scales above the mouth) are fused. In king brown snakes, they are separate.1

The venom is not as potent as that of Australia's other dangerous snakes, but it can cause severe effects if delivered in large enough amounts. Its main effect is on striated (skeletal) muscle, which can cause paralysis through muscle damage. It also commonly affects blood clotting (coagulopathy).1

Deaths from its bites have been recorded, with the most recent in 1969. Extensive pain and swelling often occur at the bite site, and necrosis (death of tissue) occurs rarely.1

Humpito

1

Its name causes a real problem: its venom is not neutralised by brown snake antivenom, so the name has been criticised by medical researchers.1

2

It is the largest terrestrial venomous snake in Australia.1

3

In the Kaytetye language of Central Australia, it is called atetherr-ayne-wene, meaning "budgerigar-eater".1

4

Despite its common name, it belongs to the black snake genus Pseudechis and is only distantly related to true brown snakes.1

5

Males are around 20% larger than females.1

6

It has been reported to live up to 25 years in captivity.1

Bonnoowo fenaandeeji

Fenaande: Because it is called a brown snake, brown snake antivenom will treat its bite.

Goonga: Its venom is not neutralised by brown snake antivenom. Victims are treated with black snake antivenom.1
