The Grey snake is a mostly harmless Elapid that is native to my area & is on the endangered list . So I'm very keen to do my bit & in a worst case scenario at least have them safe in a private collection . Can anyone help me out in aquiring a couple of these little fellas before it's too late .

Think their venom is not as toxic as other elapids... Am pretty sure they got the equipment (mouth/fang size)to bite you though!

Hi C'baoth,
Where did you see these guys as being endangered?
They are common throughout quite a large range in NSW.
Cheers,
Macca

I think some people are confusing the Slatey Grey with the Grey Snake, the latter is a mildly venomous elapid.

I think people seem to get confused with common names but Latin names should be pretty straightforward.

No it's not a slatey grey , that's a colubrid. The grey snake is from se qld & ne nsw & is listed on qld nation parks websites as being rare & endangered .
Macca it's good to hear they are still flourishing in nsw , it must just be qld they are endangered .
