Complete Guide to Snakes in Australia
Where to Find Snakes in Australia Snakes in Australia occur almost everywhere—from tropical rainforests and arid deserts to suburban backyards and even offshore reefs (sea snakes !). You'll spot them in bushland, wetlands, agricultural areas, rocky outcrops, and along rivers and lakes; only the highest alpine zones remain largely snake‑free.
The species most likely to show up in suburban yards include diamond pythons - large, striking, and completely harmless - common green tree snakes , which are so mild-mannered they don't even carry venom, and the red-bellied black snake , perhaps the most frequently encountered of Australia's venomous species.
