Hello arano
Desert death adders live in remote areas, among porcupine grass, stony flats, sandy ridges and rocky outcrops in Central and Western Australia. In south-west Australia they live in hummock grass in mallee. They are sometimes seen on roads near outlying urban areas.1

Desert death adders feed on lizards, especially skinks and dragons, and on small mammals. They use a lure at the tip of the tail, which wiggles to attract prey. They may lie in ambush for days, waiting for a lizard to approach.1

The desert death adder bites only when a threat or prey is very close. Its colours help it blend in with its surroundings.1
