The desert death adder is a venomous snake that lives in remote parts of Australia. It is one of the most venomous land snakes in the world. It hunts lizards and small mammals, and it gives birth to live young.1

Desert death adders live in remote areas, among porcupine grass, stony flats, sandy ridges and rocky outcrops in Central and Western Australia. In south-west Australia they live in hummock grass in mallee. They are sometimes seen on roads near outlying urban areas.1

Desert death adders feed on lizards, especially skinks and dragons, and on small mammals. They use a lure at the tip of the tail, which wiggles to attract prey. They may lie in ambush for days, waiting for a lizard to approach.1

Kotsi ho batho: E kotsi haholoE ka bolaya motho ya sa fumaneng kalafo.

The desert death adder is one of the most venomous land snakes in the world and is regarded as very dangerous. Its venom rarely causes snake bites in Australia today. Its fangs are longer than those of most of Australia's venomous snakes.1

E etsang ha e tshohile?

The desert death adder bites only when a threat or prey is very close. Its colours help it blend in with its surroundings.1

Its fangs are longer than those of most of Australia's venomous snakes.1

Unlike most other snakes, it gives birth to live young.1

It is most active after dark and is only occasionally seen during the day.1
