Snakes of greater Brisbane.

Twenty-seven species of terrestrial snake are found in the Brisbane area. The combination of native habitat and the introduction of exotic animals have influenced the distribution of some species of snake and, as a result, snakes can be found in almost any suburban backyard and even in the city centre. The most commonly encountered species are the carpet python, common tree snake, keelback, yellow-faced whip snake, white-crowned snake and eastern small-eyed snake. It is also important to note that a number of venomous snakes are found in and around Brisbane and a number of these are on Australia's 'potentially lethal' list, including the taipan, tiger snake, death adder, rough-scaled snake and eastern brown snake. Of these snakes only the eastern brown snake is regularly found in Brisbane's suburbs.
