|  | Bendy! Sponsor | Join Date: Feb-07 Location: Brisbane Gender: | | | | I'd say it was actually a Western Brown, due to it having a large rostral scale.

| | Regular Member | | | | The riverland is in SA, about 2hrs 30mins from Adelaide, and bout 1hr 45mins from Mildura in Victoria. We definately get western browns here, eastern browns, tigers. I've seen a couple of western browns where I live, including one that came to my back door for some help (pic attached)
Thanks Jonno, thats the kind of answer I wanted; one with an explanation And thanks stralis
Thanks everyone else too

| | Regular Member | | | | | Do western browns have the belly spots? Thats why I thought it was an eastern - thought I could see spots on the belly in a couple of the shots. |

Got a buccal cavity shot (mouth lining)...?
The rostral scale is not shaped right for victorian type western browns Pseudonaja "nuchalis" and from what I understand they are the same species across to the edge of the eyre peninsula.
I lean towards an Eastern Brown Pseudonaja textilis
Cheers,

| | Regular Member | | | | | Thanks Scott. I will see if he's got more photos. I've seen both really banded like the one in my photo, and hardly banded at all western browns near my house? Although the unbanded one was during winter - is that why it would have been so dark? | | |
