Australian Black Note

The red-bellied black viper is very common in eastern Australia. The venomous snake stands out with its shimmering, black back and bright orange-red belly and is admittedly also very beautiful to look at. This also makes it easy to spot. So, unlike other snakes on this list, there is no risk of overlooking them. It is native to forests and swamps as well as urban areas. However, it is not considered particularly aggressive and its venom is not deadly, although a bite can cause severe pain. You certainly don’t want that either.

Barba Amarilla

This name, which translates to “yellow beard” in Spanish, refers to a group of snakes native to Central and South America that are easily identified by the unique shape of their flattened heads. Feminine individuals can reach lengths of up to 1.8 meters and feature larger heads and fangs than their male counterparts. Barba amarillas have a reputation for being erratic and hostile because of their quick reflexes and constant motion. Their venom is necrotizing, causes excruciating pain, and can be fatal.
