Yellow-faced whip snake
The yellow-faced whip snake is a thin, fast snake with large eyes that lives across most of Australia. It is venomous, but its venom is mainly used on lizards and frogs, and it is not considered dangerous to people. It is one of the most widespread snakes found only in Australia.1

Chokwadi
It has the largest eyes of any Australian snake, which helps it hunt successfully during the day.1
Snakes often gather in communities, and some communal nests contain 500 to 600 eggs.1
Young snakes often constrict their prey, but adults rarely do so and usually use venom instead.1
Although it is mainly active by day, it also forages at night for nocturnal prey such as geckos and frogs.1
In winter it slows down through brumation and moves mainly to find sun and water.1

Chokwadi: Its venom is deadly to lizards, frogs and other reptiles, but it is not considered dangerous to humans. Its bites are still painful and medical care should be sought.1
