There are no poisonous snakes in Australia but there are many venomous ones.

There is a difference between being poisonous and being venomous. The difference is how the toxin is delivered.

Animals which are venomous inject the venom into their victims by a spur or stinger of some sort, just as some snakes inject their victims with venom via their fangs.

Animals (or plants) which are poisonous do not deliver their toxins directly. The body of the animal (or plant) tends to contain the poisonous substance within it, and they only cause harm to other organisms when they are eaten or touched.

Whilst there are around 100 species of venomous snakes in Australia, only a dozen of them have a deadly bite.

Australia's most venomous snakes include:

  • Taipan (including Inland Taipan and Coastal Taipan)
  • Eastern Brown
  • Red Bellied Black snake
  • Tiger (including Black Tiger and eastern Tiger)
  • Copperhead
  • Gwardar
  • Collett's
  • Death Adder
  • Mulga Snake or King Brown
