My brother found this poor little snakey on a job site today (townsville) it was with a few others who slithered away (one fell victim to his bobcat) :cry: but this little guy is obviously injured and wasn't moving on. He brought it to show me on his way to releasing it in the bush. Pics aren't great cause I wasn't getting any closer just in case. It has a yellowish band on its head and he said one of the others seemed to have two of these bands. Its seems to be a hatchie at about 18-20cm long. This one has been injured?? or is ill?? Any thoughts on its ID and ailmen I would be interested in. From looking in my books I'm thinking maybe a Collared Whipsnake, but I'm no pro.
