The spotted mulga snake is a venomous snake that lives only in Western Australia. It is found in the Murchison region, in dry woodland with stony or loamy soil. Its yellow spots and the way it raises its head and hood like a cobra make it easy to recognise.1

Hangata e ferekanngwa le: The mulga snake or king brown (Pseudechis australis) is larger and more widespread, and the two can live in the same areas of central Western Australia. The mulga snake has reddish-brown belly scales with cream edges, while the spotted mulga snake has bright yellow belly scales with black bases. The spotted mulga snake also has fewer belly scales. The black snake of eastern Australia (Pseudechis porphyriacus) has pink or red belly scales.1
