Eastern brown snake

Pseudonaja textilis
Ka lebitso: The species name textilis was inspired by the fine-meshed pattern on the snake's body, which reminded its first describer of fine stockings.1

The eastern brown snake is a slender snake that lives across eastern and central Australia and in southern New Guinea. It is one of the most venomous land snakes in the world, so it is important to know what it looks like. It often lives near farms and the edges of towns, where it hunts house mice.1

It lives in most habitats except dense forests, including dry forests, grasslands, scrub, farmland and the outskirts of cities. It is often found near houses and farms, where it uses rubbish, sheets of corrugated iron, buildings, rocks, burrows and cracks in the ground for shelter.1

Ho e tseba jwang

  • Slender build, with no clear line between the head and neck.1
  • Upper parts range from pale brown to black, and sometimes orange or russet.1
  • Underside is pale cream or yellow, often with orange, brown or dark grey blotches.1
  • Young snakes usually have a black head and may have dark bands or a pattern across the body. These markings fade as the snake grows.1
  • Inside of the mouth is flesh-pink.1

Hangata e ferekanngwa le: Large eastern brown snakes are often confused with mulga snakes, which share their habitat in many areas; they can be told apart by head size. Its yellowish underparts separate it from the dugite and peninsula brown snake, which are entirely brown or have grey underparts. Young eastern brown snakes have head markings similar to red-naped snakes, grey snakes, Dwyer's snakes and curl snakes.1

Its venom mainly affects the circulatory system, which carries blood around the body. The main effects are coagulopathy (a problem with blood clotting), haemorrhage (bleeding), cardiovascular collapse (the heart and blood vessels failing) and cardiac arrest (the heart stopping). One of the main components is pseutarin-C, a prothrombinase complex that breaks down prothrombin, a substance needed for blood to clot.1

Dintlha

1

In December 2023, an eastern brown snake paused a match at the Brisbane International tennis tournament for 40 minutes until a professional snake catcher removed it.1

2

In winter, it brumates (goes into a state of rest like hibernation). Groups have been found sheltering under concrete slabs of houses in Sydney.1

3

Its fangs are small compared with other Australian venomous snakes, averaging 2.8 mm and reaching up to 4 mm in larger specimens.1

4

Within its genus, it has the largest number of chromosomes, at 38 in its cells.1

5

Local Aboriginal peoples in Sydney, the Illawarra and the Wiradjuri region had their own names for it, and the Dharawal and Awabakal held ceremonies for it.1

Ho senya ditshomo

Tshomo: Young and adult brown snakes are different species.

Nnete: Early scientists thought they were different because their markings differ. Later research showed that the markings of young snakes fade as they grow, and all these forms are the same species.1
