The dugite is coloured grey, green, or brown.

The band's name refers to the brown venomous snake, the dugite, common to Western Australia.

The dugite prefers sandy areas, and like most snakes will not normally approach populated areas, but may be seen if looking for food or water.

Of these, the PLA2 proteins are the most likely candidates for involvement in the secondary features of dugite envenomation.

In January 2011, a seven-year-old Perth boy was bitten and temporarily paralyzed after a dugite entered his bedroom and wrapped itself around his arm while he slept.

There are expansive sand dunes and bushland areas along the coast which are home to wildlife such as hawks, mice and rabbits, and the occasional Dugite (snake).

Our initial interest in the PLA2 proteins of dugite venom was assisted by a proteomic study investigating the affinity of brown snake antivenom for venom proteins.

Snakes include the Recherche Island dugite (Pseudonaja affinis tanneri) on Cull Island, and the python Morelia spilota imbricata.

Pendennis Castle's first passenger carrying journey in Western Australia was a return trip from Dampier to Dugite on 7 November 1978, with the locomotive hauling two passenger cars.
