A new breed of venomous snake has been discovered in Australia.
The desert whip snake has been mistaken as a different species for decades due to common characteristics with the yellow-faced whip snake, from eastern Australia, and the reticulated whip snake, from WA.
Appearing bluish-grey in colour the formal name for the desert whip snake is Demansia Cyanochasma, modified from the Green works kyanos meaning blue and khasma meaning space.The snake was distinguished from other species via genetics research by James Nankivell, a geneticist from the University of Adelaide, and Perth researchers Brad Maryan and Brian Bush.
“A lot of the discovery has happened inside the museum walls using genetic samples and matching them to the bodies the genetic samples came from,” Dr Hutchinson said. While it is venomous, the desert whip snake is not considered dangerous to humans but a bite will cause pain and swelling.
