Common Death Adder

Description:

A wonderful snake that I have finally had the opportunity to take pics of. Max length up to 1m. Variable color patterns depending on the habitat. Segmented tail-tip cream or black.

Habitat:

Found in Rainforest to shrublands and heath. Very large fangs for its size and delivers a large amount of neurotoxic venom.

Notes:

A slow moving snake that normally lie unmoving in leaf litter or sand to help camouflaged themselves. The small tip of the tail mimics a worm or small insect which it wriggles in front of its mouth waiting for a passing mammal or reptile to take the bait.
