Well since i didnt see it happen i cant guarantee it, but redbacks do catch and kill reptiles such as small snakes and lizards very often IMO its probably why their webs and venom are so strong.

if we could have a closer look at the head scales it would be easier to tell what it is. i cant seem to get past the blurr whether it has a loreal scale or not. if it does, its a colubrid. if not, most likely an elapid. hope this helps regards,

Nat

i'm leaning toward colubrid. What sort of habitate was it found in? Where was it found? I'm thinking slatey or keel, although I havn't had much to do with colubrid's so i'm only guessing from what i have taught myself.
