Hi all.
Would any of you please help me with an ID of this snake? Found near the house and am not an expert on the local snakes. I had a search but came away confused.
Thanks all

Red belly black. Leave it alone, it will fuck off
idk but looks spicy as hell
EB
Thinking EB given the eyes.
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
That is a very large Eastern brown. Stay well away and call a snake catcher
Snek
Pseudonaja textilis
That’s a nope rope
That’s one nasty boi
If it actually us a eastern brown, it’s the 2nd most venomous snake in the world. That’s gotta be worth some caution.
Touch it and find out..
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.
Hmmmm….🤔 That my friend, is called one big arse snake 🐍
Do Not, I repeat, Do Not try to kiss it.
Brown danger noodle alert.
There is a facebook page called Australian snake identification, education and advocacy that is super helpful with ID’s on snakes and information about them.

C*nt – everyone startled by it
A big old brown snake. When those fuckers get cranky they will lift there body off the ground and strike
they’re nicknamed frowny brownies for a reason
Somebody needs snake deterring plants ASAP!
ARRGH!
Thats a nope rope
That’s Edgar Brown, he goes by EB for short
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
Black Mamba danger noodle
Trouser snake
thats jeff
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.
Just your average garden hose left out in the sun for too long
Thats a joke btw
That’s a solid nope-rope. 100%
