Canberra: As a result of global warming, many countries of the world are witnessing abnormally high temperatures. Even in the coldest European countries, temperatures exceed 30 degrees Celsius and create record temperatures. Now, with the increase in temperature, all the snakes in Australia are starting to come out of their burrows en masse. Snake season, which usually arrives in September or October, has begun on the east coast of Australia. The Australian Reptile Park has warned of the need for special vigilance as venomous snakes have become active. It is currently winter in Australia but very dry. Snake season is the time when reptiles, including snakes, which stay indoors during the winter to survive the extreme cold, become active once more. These come out depending on the heat.

There are many species of snakes found only in Australia, including the world’s most venomous inland taipan. The poison released by a single bite of the inland taipan is believed to be capable of killing around 100 people.

However, they like to live in desolate areas without human habitation. They will try to avoid provocations as much as possible, but if they see a threat to their lives, they will attack. 5 feet to 8 feet long.

Another villain is the highly venomous and violent Eastern Brown Snake. They are similar to the garter snake, a non-venomous and harmless garter snake found in Australia itself.

Therefore, there are dangers of mistaking the Eastern Brown Snake for a Garter Snake. The Eastern Brown Snake is responsible for the majority of snakebite deaths in Australia.
