I am giving only 1/2 point to Astrobeca it is death adder. sorry pythonguy44 you misspelled the name of snake.
reason why death adder specie resembles vipers is: Shape, behavior, and mainly large fangs which fold back along the jawline to a limited degree.

slateman for question 3.
the DEAF ADDER got its name because when approached it seemed to be deaf as it wouldnt react to being approached. Its not spelt DEATH ADDER.
If you dont believe me it has been on "snake wranglers" in focus the episode where a husband and wife team that work for ARP go to catch much needed DEAF ADDER specimens as the antivenom for this snake was becoming more scarce.

Just a point.
A 2640 Acanthophis antacticus -Southern Death Adder
Thats straight off the licence. Not 'deaf' adder at all.
Don't believe everything you see on TV Jeremy.

You were partly right. That is one story about how they originally got their name.
