Magnificent Brown

[Snake_Whisperer]

Called out for this little guy in a garage. The bloke was sure he was onto a Tiger snake so naturally I flew out there to round it up! (A Tiger in that area would have been a big deal!) Found this guy curled up in the garage, beautiful little Brown snake. The folks at the house had a good laugh at the fact that I was so enamoured with this beautiful but deadly animal! I'm just glad though that people call us instead of going straight for the shovel!

What a lovely looking brown,colours are stunning...Ive seen a few but never that colour up here,only one ive seen like that was a baby with the bands...I can see why they thought it was a Tiger...Great stuff that some people do call the appropiate people when they come across snakes..instead of that bloody shovel...

Looks like a tiger for sure ha ha ,, it really does ..
I have never seen a brown snake like that before how big was it ?

WOW Nice snake

 

[Snake_Whisperer]

He was about 800mm. Yeh, he is certainly a supermodel! Lucky to get that call as it was outside my zone but the bloke who rang me couldn't get onto one of his local catchers, lucky me!

Would be interesting to see how those bands hold over the next year or so!

Yeh, it's hard to imagine losing that banding when it is so striking.

very, very nice brown. Browns are often over looked when it comes to spectacular elapids.

Gob Smacked!!! I've seen the banded hatchies but never the transition phase between hatchie and adult, which I'm assuming this is?

Great pickup, thanks for sharing Aaron.

Cheers, I didn't realize Easterns banded with such contrast. We get Dugites with banding but nothing close to that spectacular
