Hi,
Just a quick question about this snake. I just found it on my driveway, i live on the outskirts of Toowoomba (southeast queensland) and have never seen a snake like it before. It has a very peculiar yellow and brown splotch on its head and its eyes are very hard to distinguish. It is probably only 30cm long, maybe a bit shorter. Does anyone have any idea what it is from my couple of less than successful photographs?

Thanks for the help!

Ozzy

I think it is a Southern Dwarf Crowned snake( Cacophis krefftii). It looks to be in good condition - they grow to about 345mm.Nice snake
 
Looks like a White Crowned Snake (Cacophis harriettae) to me, unless my monitor is playing up. ;)
