The White-lipped Snake (Drysdalia coronoides) is the smallest species of snake in Tasmania, growing only to 40 cm long. They belong to the genus Drysdalia, and are sometimes incorrectly referred to in Tasmania as whip snakes. This species gets its name from a thin, white line bordered above by a narrow black line that runs along the upper lip.[1]
