Yellow-Faced Whip Snake

Demansia psammophis

Description:

The Yellow-faced Whip Snake is a slender and fast-moving snake, active during the day. It is common throughout most of Australia. It is often confused with the Eastern Brown Snake, and it is hard to observe closely, being alert and fleeing quickly when disturbed. It is a venomous snake with a painful bite, but is not considered dangerous.
