Another Snake Id

[BrownHash]

I've just been going through some old photos and I came across this one. I thought I would post it as I know how much everyone loves and Id thread.

The photo was taken in the Pilbara region.

Dugite, the head looks a bit funny but i think it is the photo.

Pseudonaja modesta

 

[Frozenmouse]

I stand corrected , did not know they can occur without the bands

How did you differentiate it from Pseudonaja affinis?

 

[Sunny]

aspidhorinchya mabe?

 

[eipper]

mendgeni (the only other Pseudonaja in the pilbara) don't have a pale line between the eye and nostril (this is present in modesta) also the shape of the snout in different.

aspidoryncha is no where near the pilbara

I like these things but then I see Scott has posted and it generally all over.

Too true. I was expecting to catch a few more people out with it having a reduced banding pattern. Scott quickly nipped that in the bud

Anyway, here are some more photos of this individual; a head shot and a larger version of the original.
