This species is native to Australia, where it inhabits woodlands and open forests. It spends most of the day sleeping in trees, sometimes for as long as 20 hours, and becomes active at night to forage. As a strict herbivore, it specializes in the leaves of eucalyptus trees.

With an average length of 6 to 9 feet, it is also the second-longest venomous snake in the world, surpassed only by the king cobra. Owing to its abundance in the native region, this snake belongs t
