Eziokwu
Its venom is the second most toxic of all the Australian black snakes.1
It is naturally very shy and will usually try to escape rather than confront people.1
Some individuals have a spotted pattern, which is why it is also called the spotted black snake.1
Like most snakes, it lays eggs, with a clutch of 7–12 in the breeding season.1
