How does a desert death snake protect themselves?

In hunting the 'Desert Death Adder' uses its distinctive tail (black in color) to lure potential prey. It will only bite when the prey is close, its fangs are longer than most venomous Australian snakes. The same is true of them when they protect themselves, they will only bite if the threat is quite near, which could be why they are not usually the culprits behind a snakebite in their native, Central or Western Australia. Their larger than average fangs however, produce quite a quantity of toxic venom. When researching this reptile, avoid confusion between the DESERT death snake, and the common Death Snake.
