  • 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

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

Deaths from its bites have been recorded, with the most recent in 1969. Extensive pain and swelling often occur at the bite site, and necrosis (death of tissue) occurs rarely.1

Amawulire amalungi: abasawo balina eddagala (antivenom) oba obujjanjabi ku kino.1

Bwe kiruma

  • Victims are treated with black snake (not brown snake) antivenom.1
