Yes, definate a Brown Tree Snake, Boiga irregularis.
Venemous, but harmless, nothing to worry about at all, in fact quite a good snakes as they will happily eat mice, indian mynah's etc.

I was also wondering its age... It is about 80 centimeters in length. I can't tell you much more about it, as it is long gone by now, but jeesh was it it aggressive!!!

Definitely a Boiga irregularis, mildly venomous, rear fanged snake. They are very quick and flighty, just leave him alone and you will be fine.

Thanks guys for your ID. I was just reading up on them. Are they classed as a pest in Australia or is it just outside of Australia?

They're an Australian native - definitely not pests, not here in Australia anyway.
