Adult eastern brown snakes are highly variable in colour. Whilst usually a uniform shade of brown, they can have various patterns including speckles and bands, and range from a very pale fawn colour through to black, including orange, silver, yellow and grey. Juveniles can be banded and have a black head, with a lighter band behind, a black nape, and numerous red-brown spots on the belly.
This species has an average total length (including tail) of 1.1–1.8m (3.6–5.9ft). The maximum recorded size for the species is 2.4m (7.9ft), although any specimen of greater than 2m (6.6ft) in total length would be considered exceptionally large. Large eastern brown snakes are often confused with "king brown" snakes (Pseudechis australis), whose habitat they share in many areas.

Eastern Brown SNAKE BEHAVIOUR EXPLAINED!
This is one of the most important videos we have ever posted and we hope that everyone can learn something from it and share it with your friends.
Eastern Brown Snakes have a reputation within the community as being "aggressive" and we occassionally hear stories about them chasing people etc. Well I am here to completely debunk those two myths. In fact they couldn’t be further from the truth.
What you have to understand is that Eastern Brown Snake (and any snakes for that matter) want absolutely nothing to do with humans whatsoever. In fact they see us as a potential predator and want to keep well clear of us. If however a Brown snake feels threatened, cornered or in danger they will defend themself with their life!

WARNING very angry eastern brown snake
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! The eastern brown snake is the second deadliest snake on the planet. Here in Australia it is the number 1 killing snake and has claimed more human fatalities than all other species of dangerous snake put together.
Please do not let these statistics frighten you though as it is a combination of a number of things that has lead to this. From their highly toxic venom to their widespread distribution and flighty nature.
Despite their very nasty reputation, the eastern brown snake will almost always do everything in its power to avoid people and avoid confrontation. They are a flighty snake when cornered, and as I explain in this video they feel most cornered when they are out in the open.
Here I explain that the eastern brown snake will do everything to try and get...

This is one of the most important videos we have ever posted and we hope that everyone can learn something from it and share it with your friends.
Eastern Brown Snakes have a reputation within the community as being "aggressive" and we occassionally hear stories about them chasing people etc. Well I am here to completely debunk those two myths. In fact they couldn’t be further from the truth.
What you have to understand is that Eastern Brown Snake (and any snakes for that matter) want absolutely nothing to do with humans whatsoever. In fact they see us as a potential predator and want to keep well clear of us. If however a Brown snake feels threatened, cornered or in danger they will defend themself with their life! This is a form of defence and is NOT them being "aggressive". They will also NOT chase you. The act of "chasing" involves trying to chase and catch something, and often in the animal world the end result will to eat whatever the predator was chasing. A brown snake does not want to catch us, it simply wants to scare us so that we back off and the brown snake can get away. A brown snake will chase a rat as it wants to eat it, however a Brown snake will not chase a human. EVER!
Now I know there are going to be people come on here saying they were chased by a brown snake. Now if those people are reading or watching this video I ask you to actually think about the situation that you were in. Maybe the brown snake was just defending itself because you were to close? Maybe the snake was coming in your direction because it was trying to find shelter which may have been behind you? Maybe the snake was already travelling in that direction and your paths crossed? I can guarantee that as soon as you backed away from the snake the snake wanted nothing to do with you and probably headed off in a different direction...
Please feel free to ask questions in the comments and we will do our best to answer them.
All you need to remember is that when you see a Brown snake, or any snake for that matter, is to back away and keep your distance and respect the snake and they will leave you alone. The moment you attempt to approach, try to catch or kill the snake that’s when you are asking for trouble.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! The eastern brown snake is the second deadliest snake on the planet. Here in Australia it is the number 1 killing snake and has claimed more human fatalities than all other species of dangerous snake put together.
Please do not let these statistics frighten you though as it is a combination of a number of things that has lead to this. From their highly toxic venom to their widespread distribution and flighty nature.
Despite their very nasty reputation, the eastern brown snake will almost always do everything in its power to avoid people and avoid confrontation. They are a flighty snake when cornered, and as I explain in this video they feel most cornered when they are out in the open.
Here I explain that the eastern brown snake will do everything to try and get away from you. I explain why, and use a few analogies to put perspective onto snake behaviour.
Yes I fully understand that the eastern brown snake has bitten people for absolutely no reason. One of my friends was bitten while slashing grass and it almost cost her her life, however on the whole most people who are bitten are trying ti capture or kill the snake.
I tell people that most snakes are comfortable and happy to be photographed from a safe distance but do not get too close.

Adult eastern brown snakes are highly variable in colour. Whilst usually a uniform shade of brown, they can have various patterns including speckles and bands, and range from a very pale fawn colour through to black, including orange, silver, yellow and grey. Juveniles can be banded and have a black head, with a lighter band behind, a black nape, and numerous red-brown spots on the belly.
This species has an average total length (including tail) of 1.1–1.8m (3.6–5.9ft). The maximum recorded size for the species is 2.4m (7.9ft), although any specimen of greater than 2m (6.6ft) in total length would be considered exceptionally large. Large eastern brown snakes are often confused with "king brown" snakes (Pseudechis australis), whose habitat they share in many areas.
