Fairly small, under a meter. Looks like it has some mottled/darker scales near its head on the sides and some on the ridge of its back in a straight line in a few areas. Lighter belly as seen in image 2.
Quite aggressive as it was raising up, opening its mouth and coming directly at me if I got too close.

It’s a brown danger noodle
That would be Bert, Bert likes to be left alone, you should keep your distance from Bert and notify a ranger or a snake catcher.
Where is it / are you?
Looks a bit like a dugite.
Nope rope.
Left his ID at home so I couldn’t sell him the beers and smokes he wanted. Sorry little fella.
No touchy touchy
Snake gave you warning signs and you didn’t gtfo immediately??

Wondering why the fuck OP was getting “too close” to this overheated nope rope.
>> Quite aggressive as it was raising up, opening its mouth and coming directly at me if I got too close.
Dude you are not long for this world… I suggest you write up a will if you’re this stupid.
Definitely a venomous elapid, location dependant I’d say Eastern Brown or maybe a yellow-faced whip snake.
And yeah, if a non-pet snake ever gives you the S pose please respect it’s space – it obviously felt very threatened and had to be defensive in that second photo.
Just let them be, especially if you don’t know what you’re dealing with.
I hope you have life insurance my brother. If it was legal I take out a policy on your life and collect the next time you come across a lethal animal.
That’s a “not one you should be that close to if it’s that pissed” snek
That’s Bob Brown, get out of his town.
Congrats on messing with a very deadly snake, an Eastern Brown.
An angry one
How is any Aussie not able to identify a brown snake 😭
Third most deadliest snake in the world an angry Eastern Brown snake. Stay clear of it, if you know what is good for you.
a brown snake. or a “FUCKING BROWN SNAKE” depending on how close you are when you see it
Hahahaha. Ha. Haha…….ahhhhhh
Yeah
Dont get so close next time
Brown snake.
They’ve been known to chase people who piss them off. They’re very aggressive.
Also the second most venomous in the world….
Eastern brown.
Nope stick, and the second pic its warning you to back the eff off !
Eastern brown, Venomous, the fact its coiled, it is in a strike pose.
Don’t let it bite you please…
You have the survival instincts of a potato chip.
Hmm i wonder what this brown coloured snake that is threatening me with a bite is called. Lets fuck with it some more to get a good picture to find out what it is
Are these images both of the same snake?
Yeh bud that’s a snake ID : Staythefaway
Don’t poke snakes, don’t go near them, don’t let your pets near it, leave a clear path and just let it go on with it’s day. You avoid having to go to hospital/die, your pet doesn’t die, the snake lives on and does snake things. Everyone is happy.
Yeah that definitely a nope rope
“Most extremely venomous species are not inherently aggressive, they truly do not want the smoke and would rather run away and hide than deal out their death juice.
The Eastern Brown disagrees with this philsophy, and wants ALL of the smoke at all times.” (Stolen from YT)
See the way he is up, coiled, belly facing forward? He’s ready to strike. Their strike speed can reach almost 2m per second, at up to two thirds their whole body length. If it goes off, it can have hit you twice or more and be pissing off before you have time to realise it has moved.
“opening its mouth and coming directly at me if I got too close” – if it is doing this it is almost certainly in strike range. Worse, if it is flexing it’s jaw, it is almost certainly seating it’s fangs and activating the venom glands. You can get lucky with dry bites. This? This wasn’t going to be a dry bite.
You would have been safer getting a bloody gobby from a cannibal.
Why were you so close to the snake in the second photo? Like weren’t you scared, especially with the snake curling up and baring its fangs?
A nope rope. Call a wildlife sanctuary, they can use it for their antivenom program
Yes.
That’s Jake!
He owes me $20 the wanker!
Bloody Jake the Snake!
That’s Dave.
It’s a nope rope
