in my garden will it bite me

[Bluetongue1]

Any particular reason why Pseudonaja havent been mentioned? Probably not a bad idea considering they can potentially kill you.

My thoughts exactly! The Hooded Form of Gwardar can have a black head and neck and a bright orange or yellow body.

Was the snake on the ground? Or was it climbing something?

yellow tree snake, can bluff beautifully with inflated neck etc, but is completely harmless (not even fangs, let alone poison).

Just to get you out on a technicality steve, no snakes carry poison, or are poisonous. i hear so many people say this when the correct terminology would be venomous, or carrying venom. Just being nitpicky.

Hilbilliemobile,

An answer to either the question Moosenoose asked, or my own, would allow an ID to be made and satisfy everyone curiosity that you have aroused. The feedback would be appropriate and appreciated.

can't browns have a black head??

 

[Bluetongue1]

Gwardar is the alternative name for Western Brown Snake. Eastern Brown Snakes have a black head as hatchlings and juveniles but it fades as they grow and mature, until it is disappears.

There's been evidence to say they are actually venomous, not remotely enough to do any damage.

So might be more accurate to say completely harmless.
