Snake (poisonous)

A snake with a combat level of 35 can be found on Mos Le'Harmless. Their poison only deals 30 life points initially, so it is not dangerous to high-levelled players. Players should bring antipoisons if they choose to kill snakes.

Money-Making Strategy
High-levelled players are recommended to kill these snakes in front of Trouble Brewing as their hides usually sell for 1.5k+ each, and they are relatively easy to kill. Within an hour, a player can kill about 180-200 snakes, which can result in a gain of 540-600k/hr. Luckily, there is a bank deposit box only squares away from the snake respawn locations, which is why many players decide to use this as a primary money making technique. Warning: If you choose to use this money making technique, be reminded that these snakes are poisonous (poison starts at 30 life points). It is recommended that all players bring 15 lobsters per trip (fewer if wearing guthans). There are Jungle horrors that can normally do damage above 120 life points. If for some reason you cannot afford lobsters, tuna is a cost effective alternative. Also a terror bird can be helpful to store items in (not your hides). Another good tactic is to bring the Prayer Book from The Great Brain Robbery quest and a Holy Symbol to heal your poison. If using this method, replace your antipoisons with Prayer potions, and bring a Holy Wrench from the Rum Deal quest so your potions restore more prayer. With this method, high level players could stay for very long periods of time. There are some spots especially near the Trouble Brewing deposit box where there are no Jungle Horrors and a couple of snakes. So with high level armour like Dragon or Barrows, you could stay even longer!

Trivia

 * The examine text on poisonous snakes may be a reference to the game Metal Gear Solid, as when you die on the game, sometimes the characters will shout "Snake! Snaaaaake!"
 * If you bring a holy symbol and the prayer book from The Great Brain Robbery you can recite to get rid of poison instead of carrying anti poison potions (Recite takes away 1 prayer point) Players may want to bring prayer potions with them and perhaps even the holy wrench to stay for prolonged amounts of time. In fact, you might even sustain your stay indefinitely if you have a high defence level combined with a relatively high prayer.
 * Interestingly, when the poisonous snake poisons you, or whilst you are poisoned, it will attack with its mouth open instead of closed.
