It can be found in the semi-arid black soil plains habitat of southwestern Queensland and northeastern South Australia in the interior central part of the country. The inland or western taipan is a native of Australia. The inland taipan normally lives between 10 and 15 years, but one specimen at the Australia Zoo lived to be more than 20 years old.However, the king brown snake and the perentie monitor lizard are both known to feed on baby taipans and juveniles. The inland taipan has very few predators in the wild.The baby taipans measure about 18 inches long after emerging from the egg. In captivity, they can produce two clutches per season. Females will lay a clutch of 11 to 20 eggs at a time. These snakes are thought to mate in the late winter. During this time, their bodies intertwine, and they lash out at each other with their closed mouths. One of the most interesting facts is that the inland taipan males are thought to engage in combat with each other to compete for mates.Nevertheless, this species should be avoided at all costs. They will only strike if they feel directly threatened. The inland taipan, also known as the fierce snake, small-scaled snake, or western taipan, can easily kill a person with a single bite, but surprisingly very few deaths have ever been recorded.
