Both species are venomous and are named after their appearances.
The rough-scaled snake can grow up to 2.2 foot in length and are typically found rom mid-eastern New South Wales to the tip of far-north Queensland.
They can even climb trees in pursuit of their prey and are highly venomous reptiles that will administer a fatal bite when attacked or handled.
The red-bellied black snake surpasses its fellow reptile in length, as it can grow up to 4.1 feet, and the species are native to the east coast of Australia.
Its venom can cause significant illness rather than death, with their favored prey being frogs, fish, reptiles, and small mammals.
