The reticulated brown snake is one of the most venomous snakes in Australia. It lives in open areas, often near humans, and feeds on small animals.
The reticulated brown snake is distinguished by its very potent venom that acts quickly on the blood. It is beneficial because it destroys many rodents, but dangerous to humans upon encounter.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
