Rough-scaled snake
The rough-scaled snake is a brown or olive Australian snake with a bad temper. It is highly venomous, so it is one to keep well away from. It lives in rainforests and wet forests along the east coast, from mid-eastern New South Wales to the far north of Queensland.1

Its venom is a fast-acting, powerful neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves. It contains both post-synaptic and pre-synaptic neurotoxins, which affect nerve signals in different ways. It also contains potent coagulants, which affect blood clotting, and myotoxins, which damage muscle.1

Òtítọ́
It can climb trees to pursue prey, not just move along the ground.1
It is active both day and night, which means it can be met at any time.1
Its colouring and scales look similar to the non-venomous keelback snake, which can lead to confusion.1
Its closest relative is the tiger snake, according to a 2016 genetic analysis.1
