The venom is not as potent as that of Australia's other dangerous snakes, but it can cause severe effects if delivered in large enough amounts. Its main effect is on striated (skeletal) muscle, which can cause paralysis through muscle damage. It also commonly affects blood clotting (coagulopathy).1

ሓቅታት

Its name causes a real problem: its venom is not neutralised by brown snake antivenom, so the name has been criticised by medical researchers.1

It is the largest terrestrial venomous snake in Australia.1

In the Kaytetye language of Central Australia, it is called atetherr-ayne-wene, meaning "budgerigar-eater".1

Despite its common name, it belongs to the black snake genus Pseudechis and is only distantly related to true brown snakes.1

Males are around 20% larger than females.1

It has been reported to live up to 25 years in captivity.1

ጽውጽዋይ ዝሰብር

ጽውጽዋይ፦ Because it is called a brown snake, brown snake antivenom will treat its bite.

ሓቂ፦ Its venom is not neutralised by brown snake antivenom. Victims are treated with black snake antivenom.1
