Found this snake today. WHAT IS IT? (PICTURES)

Today I found this snake under some carpet. It is only about 25cm long and its head is a little bit darkert than the rest of its body. (see Pics) He is moving around alot. Don't worry I am going to let him go.

Looks like a copperhead from the colouration around its lips. But I may be wrong.

Yes that what i was thinking as it has huge scales for such a small snake. I live in the Frankston area in Victoria so they are rare but they are around.

RE: Found this snake today. WHAT IS IT? (PICTURES)

I often see red belly blacks, occasionally a brown snake and every few years a copper head but I have never ever seen a tiger snake around here. Iive on 10 acres and am always up turning logs looking for food and blut tongues. I will let him go soon back where I found him. Parants want it away from the house,or dead lol.

the red bellies and browns that you see in the frankston area are
just different color variations of you garden variety copperhead.
