The yellow-faced whip snake is a thin, fast snake with large eyes that lives across most of Australia. It is venomous, but its venom is mainly used on lizards and frogs, and it is not considered dangerous to people. It is one of the most widespread snakes found only in Australia.1

Small lizards and lizard eggs are its main food, and it also eats geckos, lerista and frogs. It mainly hunts during the day and catches nocturnal prey at night. Young snakes constrict their prey, while adults usually inject venom to subdue it.1

  • Has a narrow, yellowish head with a pale ring around each eye1
  • A dark marking curves along the upper lip1
  • Colour ranges from olive green to grey and brown, often with a red flush along the upper third of the back1
  • Has large, prominent eyes, the largest of any Australian snake1
  • Young snakes have a white-edged dark line across the snout1

Ina heewi waylondireede e: It is often confused with the eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis) because the two look similar. Identifying it accurately requires a clear view of the head and counting the dorsal scales at mid-body, which number 15 rows.1

The venom is toxic and deadly to other reptiles and amphibians, and it slows and eventually kills the prey. The venom is not considered dangerous to humans. Some bites cause systemic symptoms such as paralysis and bleeding, along with localised pain and swelling that can range from moderate to severe.1

Humpito

1

It has the largest eyes of any Australian snake, which helps it hunt successfully during the day.1

2

Snakes often gather in communities, and some communal nests contain 500 to 600 eggs.1

3

Young snakes often constrict their prey, but adults rarely do so and usually use venom instead.1

4

Although it is mainly active by day, it also forages at night for nocturnal prey such as geckos and frogs.1

5

In winter it slows down through brumation and moves mainly to find sun and water.1

Feññinoowo fenaande

Fenaande: The yellow-faced whip snake is a dangerous snake to people because it is venomous.

Goonga: Its venom is deadly to lizards, frogs and other reptiles, but it is not considered dangerous to humans. Its bites are still painful and medical care should be sought.1
