WARNING
This is simply an educational guide and in no way
should you attempt to identify a snake yourself
without the appropriate training to do so. Many
of snakes are misleading as they vary in color,
size etc. Doing so often leads to incorrect
identification which could result to life
threatening outcomes. Always call a licensed
snake catcher if necessary. Below is a selection
of some of the common snakes you may come across
within Brisbane

Our snakes vary greatly in color, size and
patterns. For instance contrary to popular belief
an Eastern brown does not have to be brown! this
it is why it is a must to have a professional ID
the snake
