The king brown snake is a highly venomous snake and the largest land-dwelling venomous snake in Australia. It lives across northern, western and Central Australia. Its size and venom make it one of the most important snakes to recognise in the region.1

King brown snakes are habitat generalists. They live in woodlands, grasslands, scrublands and sandy or stony deserts, and prefer wetter areas such as watercourses in dry regions. They are often found in wheat fields, rubbish piles and empty buildings, and sometimes become trapped in mine shafts.1

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

Deaths from its bites have been recorded, with the most recent in 1969. Extensive pain and swelling often occur at the bite site, and necrosis (death of tissue) occurs rarely.1

Dintlha

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

Mosenyi wa ditlhamane

Tlhamane: Because it is called a brown snake, brown snake antivenom will treat its bite.

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