yeah vipers arnt something you want to mess with. pit viper are like the ultimate hunter and are one of the only snakes in the world with fangs that are independent of each other. they use there fangs to walk there food inside there mouth its awesome to watch.

Definately looks like a Rattler to me, eyes are to big for a Death adder and there is know elapid (that I know of with that kind of patterning) in aus.
Its a nice snake though.
