Poisonous Australian Snakes - Red Bellied Black Snake

Red Bellied Black Snake

The Red Bellied Black Snake is a venomous Australian snake. It is found along the eastern seaboard (coast) of Australia. 

While it is indeed a venomous snake, it is also a very shy and avoids humans. The chances of getting bitten by one is very remote. (You are more likely to fall off a ladder than be bitten by one).

Our Red Bellied Black Snake website has lots more fascinating information about the Red Belly Black Snake.
