Death adders (Acanthophis) are are dangerously venomous Australian snakes that resemble vipers in shape (especially the stout body and broad head) but are elapids (cobra relatives). This is a small captive specimen; it was easy to photograph because it sat completely still, which is typical for these sit-and-wait predators. Although it was small I gave it plenty of distance, taking these photos with a long lens.
