The square-nosed snake is a small, mildly venomous snake that lives only in the far south-west of Western Australia. It is named for its blunt, square-shaped snout, and it hunts small lizards in swampy places and old ant nests.1

Xibaar

1

It is often found living in the abandoned nests of stick-ants.1

2

Females give birth to live young instead of laying eggs. This is called ovoviviparity, where the eggs hatch inside the mother's body.1

3

Despite its venom, the snake is considered mildly venomous and its typical bite is not dangerous to people.1

4

Its scientific genus, Rhinoplocephalus, has only this one species, so it is the sole member of its genus.1
