    Help Snake Identification

    Hey Guys

    Found this little snake outside my house we live in South east QLD. It has a slender body grey on top and yellow underbelly. Curious on what it is and if venomous. Any help would be appreciated.

    Looks like a colubrid snake not venomous but a bit angry :-)

    Not angry but scared to death. Its a completely harmless common tree snake like bigguy said. You should let it go in a safe area.

    Goldren Trees, which are only a colour variation of Common Trees, are found across the top end like Darwin. This snake was found SE Qld hence just a normal coloured Common Tree. Completely harmless unles your a frog.

    Brown trees have very distinct heads, huge poppy eyes, normaly banded and pink bellies, and are slightly venomous with rear fangs. look completely different.
