ID please

[saratoga]

Someone has asked me to clarify the IDs of the snakes in these photos for them.......would like to hear some ideas from the experts. I won't say what they have them listed as at this stage. Apologies for the poor image quality...it's all I've been given.

Top one looks like a Inland Taipan, bottom one a brown snake. Let's see how wrong (or not) I am

 

[redbellybite]

well Kathy I wouldve said the same ,,,,but lately my track record Jonnos probably got another lot of ammo.....fire away mr ERD

 

[seanjbkorbett]

r those both browns??i think,different snakes tho!

 

[Kyro]

I think (i'm most likely wrong)second snake is a Rough Scaled snake, Tropidechis carinatus. Not sure about the 1st

 

[kupper]

the first one looks like a fierce snake and the second a coastal taipan

 

[mysnakesau]

I did toss the thought of the 2nd one being a coastal but I thought they were redder than that. But then colour varies from different locations. But the black spots on him made me vote for brown.

 

[kupper]

just realised what i wrote i think they are both forms of taipans the second being coastal

 

[cris]

Im not an expert but they both look like brown snakes to me.

 

[jamgo]

bottom one looks like textilis where is the top one from?

 

[Sturdy]

yeah im going to say both brown's

 

[fauce]

with those photos it is kinda hard to tell.

depending on where they came from, 1st one could either be a western brown or an inland tiapan. Second could be a dugite if from the west. (explains the random black scales) .. if it is from the east more likely just a brown.

My opinion anyways...

 

[redbellybite]

yeah im going to say both brown's

i wasnt game to say because of my track record :lol::lol::lol::lol: if going on photo I could say that the top one looks like a ingrami ...but it also looks like it could be a inland ..not all species are obvious to the untrained eye ,and as a non expert can only take a stab at what the pic looks like or what I know ,,,which isnt always correct ...

At first glance, I thought the first one was a Brown ( Western) too..but going off your track record, I think I have to change my mind

 

[scorps]

I think seconds coastal Idk bout the first

iam leaning towards ingrams has well

 

[redbellybite]

well then saratoga what are they?

 

[redbellybite]

ok with the risk of more ammo for Jonno ..I am gonna bite the bullet and say top pic :Ingrams brown snake....and bottom pic : common eastern brown ....will stick with this and face the firing squad :lol::lol::lol:

 

[DanTheMan]

I reckon both browns, not textillis, top one western of some sort, 2nd one maybe speckled?

 

[cougars]

Both browns.
