  1. unsure but it’s not a python so i’d stay right away from it. i don’t think we have taipans in brissie but brown snakes and tiger snakes can look like this.

    any of those options are really bad if you get bitten but the last two are pretty shy, so just stay away from it.

    Eastern brown, 90% certain

    Get them all the time around here, a good give away is head size is almost the same as the body

    Pale underside and uniformed colouring / no banding

    If it actually us a eastern brown, it’s the 2nd most venomous snake in the world.  That’s gotta be worth some caution.

    Thank you all for your help. The consensus being an EB. It just looked different due to how black it was with a distinctly brown head and tail.

    It buggered off but gave the wife a huge scare before it did that.

    A big old brown snake. When those fuckers get cranky they will lift there body off the ground and strike

    At first glance I thought copper head on that first photo, but location doesn’t match, but second photo definitely looks like an Ingram’s brown snake

    One to stay the hell away from. Hard to ID the little Chappies when they are all wrapped up and tucked away in hard to reach areas. Why it’s always best to assume it’s an eastern brown, give a wide berth and leave it to do its natural thing of killing rodents. Unless of course it poses a direct threat to yourself, family, friends or pets.
