The square-nosed snake is a small, mildly venomous snake that lives only in the far south-west of Western Australia. It is named for its blunt, square-shaped snout, and it hunts small lizards in swampy places and old ant nests.1

Fatgs

It is often found living in the abandoned nests of stick-ants.1

Females give birth to live young instead of laying eggs. This is called ovoviviparity, where the eggs hatch inside the mother's body.1

Despite its venom, the snake is considered mildly venomous and its typical bite is not dangerous to people.1

Its scientific genus, Rhinoplocephalus, has only this one species, so it is the sole member of its genus.1
