Pseudechis australis
The king brown snake is probably one of Australia's most well known venomous snakes. It is also commonly referred to by many as the mulga snake. The term King Brown to many, implies that this snake belongs to the brown snake family. The fact remains however that this snake is actually a member of the black snake family and as such requires the use of black snake antivenin should any body be envenomated.

Someone has to be blind to step on him!
Wow, fantastic captured. As far as i know the venom of the king brown isn't that toxic as from other highly venomous snakes. It's the hughe ammount of venom injected per bite which makes it a nasty guy ;).
