yeh im sticking with whip snake..

 

[Ryan93]

how many species of whipsnake are there

 

[Macca]

It is definitely a whip snake. Ignore coloration, the diagnostic feature is the comma marking around the eye.

There's really no resemblance with a tree snake. When suggesting identification, I'd personally be very hesitant to suggest a snake is a non-venomous species if I wasn't sure, based on the legalities if that person were to be bitten by my misidentification.

ummm no, we moved it off the property to the bush out front so my cats and dogs didnt kill it

i wasnt sold on the tree snake id, we have plenty of those here and this was different.
i will go with the whip snake.

thanks everyone
