6. Tiger snake, common tiger snake (Notechis scutatus)
LD50: 0.118
The common tiger snake ranks 6th in our list of most venomous snakes in Australia. It inhabits southern Australia and Tasmanian island. Among marshy and water rich areas, this snake is common in populated areas, where it ends up when searching for mice and rats, which are its common prey, and that brings to frequent encounters with humans. The body length is around 1.2-1.6 meters on average, and they are relatively thick built. The coloration varies from yellowish to dark brown and black and they are most usually banded, but some bands are almost absent in some specimens.
