Bush snakes can be found while hacking the jungle around Tai Bwo Wannai Village on Karamja during the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup minigame. It drops snake hides, which can be tanned using the Crafting skill and used to make Snakeskin armour for Ranged at level 45 Crafting. The snake hides it drops can also be used to create Spirit cobra pouches, requiring a Summoning level of 63.

When they appear, they would only attack with melee with a max hit of 1. They would switch to ranged with their normal max hit if they cannot reach their target, or if they lose interest and then were attacked by a player again.
