Hi. I found this snake in my back yard. I live in south east NSW. I'm wondering if it's possible to identify it from the pictures I took. I'm guessing it is approximately 45 cm long. Attachment 504 Attachment 505 |

Thanks Cam. I was looking on the web and was wondering if it could be a slaty grey snake.

Thanks for the reply. Do you think I should get a snake person to move it or just leave it be?

if the snake is not in danger from pets or kids or shovel wielding tools, id leave it alone.
if your worried about it, get a catcher to relocate it.

Yeah, only experienced handlers for this one.
They're remarkably potent for their size. In fact, potentially fatal bites can occur from this species, though it's rare.
They're shy and not aggressive but take care anyway.

There has been one reported death from it's bite. It has myotoxic venom. I thought they were Nocturnal and usually only found under rocks and stuff,never heard of them venturing into backyards.

They are very common in certain areas, also can be found under tree bark. Generally like damp cooler area's.

i know a place where they breed in the se burbs of melbourne which ive been visiting for about
20 years.
you can nearly always find these beautiful snakes partially buried in soil under rocks.i use a mini hand rake,
They will venture into backyards when disturbed by earthworks or when looking for water.they are regarded as nocturnal but have been seen busy during the early mornings and late evenings to.
i bred these snakes in the early 80s by replicating the environment in an outside enclosure.
oh yeh, dont get bitten by these guys because they can make you feel quite sick.
