Who knows.

Have heard of bandy bandy snakes. Know nothing about them.
Of course everything is in danger of extinction ...

90 species of snakes in Australia. Almost all are poisonous. Most four poisonous snakes in the world are in Australia, Brown, Taipain Death Adder and Tiger snake.

New Guinea has thousands of species of snakes. Only a handful of species are poisonous.

And just when I thought we might be short of venomous snakes they came up with another one.

I have known of the Bandy bandy for some years. I find it strange that a new "species" of Bandy bandy has been found for a couple of reasons 1) If it was a new species it would not be of the Bandy Bandy Species. 2) Weipa, although remote, has a largish out door population in the area and an even larger outdoor tourist population. + It is a Bauxite mining area, where the Bauxite is on top of the ground so a massive area has already been scraped.

With this in mind one wonders why any species of animal-other than insects-were not discovered long ago. Maybe the locals have known of this "new" snake for decades but Biologists have only just discovered that it is a undocumented sub species (Race) of Bandy Bandy.

Thats why farting at BBQ's is encouraged. The smell and low frequency rumblings deter the creepy crawly's.

At home we've had Eastern brown snakes, Red Belly black, Coastal Taipan and Black snake so I doubt I'll be spending more time jumping at many more shadows, pieces of rope laying on the ground, or garden hoses of strange colours due to the discovery of another snake at Weipa.

And the worse snake in the grass is the female ex girlfriend.

Chapuisarmes,

It worries me that you've had the displeasure of meeting her...........given that you provided such an accurate description of her I figure you must have.

Commiserations.

Everything in Australia will kill you. Try to escape by sea and you have sea snakes, blue ring octopi and white pointers!

Although not immediately springing to mind as a man-threatening specy, the well-adorned “Australian Gal“ can claim annually in Australia more man catches than all venomous snakes and saltwater crocs alltogether; as this specy also migrates easely, it is also known as a talented international man-catcher.

And as ChapuisArmes already reminded it wisely, the worse snake in the grass is the female, either ”Australian Gal” or alien sub-specie, ex-girl friend!

"A New, Non-Venomous Snake is Discovered in Australia". Now that would be a unique headline!

A new species of snake means the scientists have just had a closer look at them and found this particular subspecies, happens to have one more scale adjacent to its cloacca than the previously known species but the average bloke won't be able to tell the difference till after he kills it and gives it to the experts to count the scales.
PS I am not suggesting you kill our protected snakes.

At least around here. The enviros are always looking for a "good" reason to shut down industry or lock up wild lands.

Don’t forget the Irukandj and box jellyfish stingers in northern waters. The Irukandji is a small version of the Box Jellyfish and deadly.

Here we also gets the worlds deadliest spider, the Sydney Funnelweb.

Used to catch lots of Blue Ringed Octopus when pawning etc. long time since anyone has been killed by one but someone was stung last week and revived by naval divers or medics off Garden Island submarine base south of Perth.

Despite all this we still get out and about. Most dangerous species is the mobile phone using motorist!

Very negligent photo!
