That's dead, they don't look away from you like that when they are alive. Unless it's staring at something else that is as good as dead.

lol i really dont think its dead, check next time because you dint want it coming back from the "dead" now do we

 

[giglamesh]

i dont think it would randomly drop dead on the side of the road. and it doesnt look like its been hit by a car

It's dead, some stuff that is killed on the roads has no wounds or blood, not sure how it happens but, it happens often, if you open up the mouth you will notice lots of blood in there, I presume animals without visible injurys dead died of internal injurys.

yeh sometimes you'll get ppl on motorbikes or push bikes running snakes over on purpose

Come on, just accept it. The snakes dead.

Nice photo opportunity though.

a shame as it's a nice looking specimen good pics

 

[Jessica_lee]

Fairly certain it was dead I prodded it with a stick first. I found it belly up on the side of the road too which was another good indicator. i think it may have been hit only recently. And i sure as hell hope it was dead cos i picked the bugger up to position it.

 

[Amby_Purr]

then problem solved.... the damn snake is dead, for goodness sake...lol

But a beautiful snake they certainly are. see the sheen?? gorgeous...

 

[giglamesh]

[AllThingsReptile]
