A new species of venomous serpent has just been discovered in Australia, however it may have been around for a while. It's a desert serpent, according to the New York Post. For many years, it was mistaken for other species, such as the yellow-faced snake from the east of Australia and the reticulated snake from the east of Australia, which share many characteristics with it.
The serpent fouet of the desert lives in the remote desert areas of central Australia, in the eastern parts of the northern territory, and throughout all of Australia-Occidental.
The official name of the gray-blue desert serpent is Demansia Cyanochasma, which derives from the Greek words kyanos, which means blue, and khasma, which means space.

Therefore, this ophidian has earned the right to be distinguished from other species thanks to genetic research done by Australians James Nankivell, a geneticist at the University of Adelaide, Brad Maryan, and Brian Bush, researchers at the University of Perth.
According to Mark Hutchinson, an honorary researcher at the South Australian Museum, it took some time to find the desert serpent tusk because numerous specimens were scattered around the nation's museums. In order to analyze them, it was necessary to transport the raptors to the South Australian Museum.
The discovery was made in large part inside the museum's walls using genetic échantillons that were made to match the bodies from which they came, according to doctor Hutchinson. However, it took some time to gather the échantillons that were required because they frequently reside in remote locations, he continued.
Even though they are dangerous, desert snakes' tails are not thought to be a threat to people. However, a fracture may result in pain and swelling.
"They are only about 70 cm long and very small, so their heads are very small and their crotches are very short for their size," explained Mark Hutchinson. The expert claims that they may harm when one tries to gather them or manipulate them, but this seems to happen infrequently. The researcher came to the conclusion that there have been no significant morsures brought on by these serpents.
