Hi all you wizzes! My friend is working in Gippsland & stupidly decided to move this guy off site (his intentions were good). Can anyone please identify this so i can tell him how lucky he is and save his life in future? Given the location i was wondering about a juvi eastern tiger but really have no clue?

Oh and by zooming in his body is striped in thick dark bands

Despite the poor quality photo, it looks like a Mainland Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus).
Reasons are the banding (although faint), and morphological characteristics like body proportions and the relatively broad head with slightly bulbous eye sockets. Location also suggests Tiger Snake.

Hi Bushman, thank you so much i know the pic wasn't good but also know how knowledgable you all are so thought it worth a chance. Looking through previous posts i can see some very similar so your answer definitely helped. Really appreciate the response :)
