King brown snake
The king brown snake is a highly venomous snake and the largest land-dwelling venomous snake in Australia. It lives across northern, western and Central Australia. Its size and venom make it one of the most important snakes to recognise in the region.1

No anndirte ngal
- 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
Ina heewi waylondireede 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

Humpito
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
It is the largest terrestrial venomous snake in Australia.1
In the Kaytetye language of Central Australia, it is called atetherr-ayne-wene, meaning "budgerigar-eater".1
Despite its common name, it belongs to the black snake genus Pseudechis and is only distantly related to true brown snakes.1
Males are around 20% larger than females.1
It has been reported to live up to 25 years in captivity.1
Feññinoowo fenaande
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
