Lowland copperhead - Austrelaps superbus

The lowland copperhead or lowlands copperhead is a venomous snake species in the family Elapidae. It is commonly referred to as the copperhead, but is not closely related to the American copperhead, "Agkistrodon contortrix". If provoked, the lowland copperhead is a dangerous snake with neurotoxic venom, which can kill an adult human if correct first aid is not applied promptly.
