Snake (poisonous)

Snakes (Serpentes Fellis) are weak monsters found on Karamja. Unlike their bush snake cousins, snakes do not poison. They are aggressive to players with a combat level of 10 or lower. They can also be found in Brimhaven. In Karamja, they can be found near level 3 monkeys and level 14 scorpions.

A snake with a combat level of 35 can be found on Mos Le'Harmless. This stronger snake attacks faster, is poisonous, and also drops a snake hide as a 100% drop. Their poison only deals 30 life points initially, so it is not dangerous to high-levelled players. Killing these snakes is very profitable at the moment. They drop Snake Hides that are worth over 3,000 coins each. Players should bring two to four antipoisons if they choose to kill snakes.

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 Otacon 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.
