Hi I am new to this group, I haven't seen any requests for Identification so I hope I am not breaking any rules by asking for an ID.

Yesterday I was walking in the bush near Hazelbrook in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney when I came across this attractive young/juvenile snake, and am curious to know what type of snake it is.

It's most striking feature is the different coloured head...or is it just starting to shed its skin? A full length photo of it is in my Album.

Thanks in advance. Kingbrown.

and for the common name that most understand ;);) which some forget to add its a mustard-bellied snake:lol::lol:

Many thanks for all the rapid replies guys, yes everything points to the Drysdalia rhodogaster (mustard-bellied snake). This guy was basking in the sun at the top of a high ridge.:D
