Northern brown snake
The northern brown snake is a fast, highly venomous snake found across the north of Australia. It lives in dry country, woodlands and grasslands, and sometimes near towns. It matters because its bite can be deadly, so it is important to know what it looks like and to keep your distance.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera
- Its back can be shades of orange-brown with flecks and bands, or it can be plain.1
- Its belly is cream to orange with pink blotches.1
- Some individuals have jet black heads.1
- Others have a black 'V' shape on the back of the neck, just below the head.1
- It grows up to 1.8 m in total length, including the tail.1

Amaanyi g'obusagwa
Obusagwa buyita mu mannyo gaakyo amawanvu (fangs) oba mu mannyo amalala nga kiruma.
Obusagwa bwakyo bukola ki?
Its venom contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves, nephrotoxins, which damage the kidneys, and a procoagulant, which affects blood clotting. Although its venom is not the most toxic in the brown snake genus, each bite can deliver a relatively large amount, so it has a high potential to cause a deadly bite. Human symptoms include headache, nausea or vomiting, abdominal pain, severe coagulopathy (serious blood clotting problems) and sometimes kidney damage.1

The bite is usually painless and is difficult to see because the fangs are small, so a bite can go unnoticed. In dogs and cats, paralysis is also likely to occur.1
Kikola ki nga kitidde?
It usually prefers to retreat from danger, but it is very aggressive when disturbed or threatened and will defend itself if cornered.1
