The Queensland Museum does not list Dwyer's snake among the eight snake species in the Brisbane area considered capable of inflicting potentially fatal bites. One man in Western Sydney reported that a bite did not hurt at all, and only a small infection developed a couple of days later.1

When threatened, it prefers to coil into a tight ball, which protects its head and other vulnerable parts of its body from larger predators.1
