Its a White Lipped Snake, Drysdalia coronoides, good find. I have never seen one around Oberon before. Where was it found ?

I have friends who just moved there and they found it in their house while renovating. I'm not too sure exactly where I just know they live about 15 kms out of Oberon.

Them buggers aren't worried about biting so be careful. I have found them in bowral, braidwood and even on snowy river near power plant in jindabyne

The single white stripe from the upper labials along the entire length of the head to the neck, usually bodered above by a dark stripe, is diagnostic for this species. A bite might produce local symptoms equivalent to say a wasp sting but other than that they are not considered dangerous.

There have been cases that required antivenom. (Sutherland & Tibball, 2001). Sutherland suggests that they are potentially dangerous.
