Thought I'd throw up a pic of a Red-Bellied Black I cought a few years back, at Woodgate Beach near Childers, QLD. The lady reported a "very dark snake with a brown head" so I obviously assumed Eastern Brown. Amazingly, though, it turned out to be a young RBB, about 1.2m and not in the best health. It was emaciated and her dog had given it a beating so I kept it at home for a few weeks and rehabilitated it. As some would know Red Bellies often have some amount of brown colouration on the nasal scales, but this one was a step above, and a beautiful snake. Anyone else come across one like this?
