bites in Australia occur in the home, and with continued wet weather conditions forcing snakes and spiders out of their natural habitat in search of drier areas, it’s expected that sightings within the home will increase.
The most dangerous snake posing a threat to Australians is the eastern brown snake, which causes a higher number of fatalities than any other snake in Australia.
