Tiger snake

Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures, Wangetti, Australia

Australia has more than its fair share of deadly venomous snakes. The tiger snake is one of them, and is in the elapid family which includes many of the world’s most venomous and dangerous snakes, such mambas, taipans and cobras. Tiger snakes have a beauty of their own, and come in various colours, sometimes banded or stripy like a tiger, or black and shiny.
