What is a "bandy-bandy"?

A bandy-bandy is a species of venomous snake known for its unique appearance and behavior. It has a distinct black-and-white banded pattern along its body, which gives it its name. Bandy-bandies are found in parts of Australia and New Guinea, typically in sandy or loamy soil habitats. They are small to medium-sized snakes, usually reaching lengths of around 40 to 60 centimeters. Bandy-bandies are burrowing snakes and spend much of their time underground. They are known for their slow and deliberate movements and are relatively docile snakes. While they possess venom, they are not considered highly dangerous to humans. Bandy-bandies primarily feed on other reptiles, such as skinks and small snakes.
