Hello, WHAT TYPE OF SNAKE IS THIS

[markpatch]

Hey everyone,

I found this little guy, he was really sick and was lying with his mouth open in the shade, i think he may have been poisoned from some weed killer or something, i wanted to know what to do with him if he reapers and also what breed he is?

I have attached 2 photos.


Thanks for any help!

Spot on Froggie.
Its mega unusal to see one during the day though!
Venomous but not considered dangerous....rarely bite.
Poor little bugger hope he comes good.
keep us posted.

I wouldn't recommend touching it but soaking it in water is general first aid for poisoned reptiles.

They HATE heat, it might of been suffering from a dose of over heating.

Put it somewhere quiet, and cool (if you are like the rest of the country and at boiling point!)

Put a container of water in with it, but not deep enough that it can drown if it's condition deteriorates, then it can drink and lay in the water if it chooses.
