King brown snake or Mulga snake
Listen up, the Australian King brown snake or Mulga snake is the second longest species of venomous snake in Australia! The venom of this particular snake is actually relatively weak compared to many other Australian species. However, these snakes can deliver large amounts of venom when they bite, which compensates for the lower venom potency. Note that they are a moderately common cause of snakebites and uncommonly cause snakebite deaths in Australia at present.

Rhinoceros viper
The Rhinoceros viper, or Bitis nasicornis, is a large species of viper similar to the Gaboon viper, but not as venomous, smaller and with a less dangerous bite. It’s important to note that they are slow moving, but are capable of striking quickly, forwards or sideways, without coiling first or giving a warning. Holding them by the tail is not safe at all (as if anyone would do that!); as it is somewhat prehensile, they can use it to fling themselves upwards and strike. They have sometimes been described as quite calm and not as bad-tempered as the Puff adder. When approached though, they will usually reveal their presence by hissing, which is said to be the loudest hiss of any African snake that it sounds almost a shriek.
