This pic is lifted from a hunting forum that discussed the snakes ID, some thought it might be a White Lipped, but in general are pretty much happy now its a Marsh Snake.

Any help is appreciated, thanks heaps, love the forum !

(Hoping the pic transfer works)

I'm be no means an expert, but I think you are right that it's a marsh snake (Hemiaspis signata).

I'm practising my scientific names.

Thanks Renenet, thinking it is about to shed its skin.
I should have added it is reportedly about 150mm long, looks bigger but thats what I'm told.

It's a juvenile, doesn't look like it's coming into shed but it might. Little bit injured but I guess it can be a tough life for a wild snake.
Adults of this species get closer to 70cm.

Thanks guys, appreciate the replies, at what stage does it shed its skin the first time?
