anybody identify this snake?

[LifeinthePark]

I found this snake (dead and headless) in the gutter out the front of my house. I live in The Royal National Park, Sydney. Can anyone tell me what it is?

looks like a bandi bandi, shame he's headless

Looks like a Bandy Bandy (Vermicella annulata). They are primarily a nocturnal species and I don't think they are frequently encountered. Shame its dead, do you have idea what could have killed it?

Poor thing

i reckon it was killed by one of the many kookas living in my garden. Its head seems to have been snapped off..I don't understand why it wasn't eaten though. It's still out there!

hey, thanks for your help in IDing the snake...I'd never seen anything like it and thought it looked like a sea snake. I must live in snake capital..the other night a diamond python tried to eat my dog on the front veranda...I had to call the Bundeena fire bridgade (snake handlers) who nicely put it back into the bush. I love snakes but not on or in my house, even if they do eat rats (but that's another story!)

Bandy Bandy's are nocturnal, I doubt a Kookaburra got it, more likely a cat.

maybe someone cut its head off? is it a clean cut?
