It's a Furina diadema.
They're nocturnal, as indicated by the relatively small eyes.
Though venomous, they're regarded as harmless and inoffensive.
Is that a sloughed skin next to it?
Whereabouts did you find it?

Due to the colour on the nape being completely enclosed by the black isn't it more likely to be a Furina diadema? A red naped snake.

Also bushman, that looks like string or cord running down both sides of the picture.


Great other pictures too, the season is starting to warm up everywhere :)
 
Their house looks a bit like Hagrid's Hut,its made of bush stone and very cool in summer.It has a shingle roof and the window sills are made of cane train sleepers,I think it is iron bark.There is gaps to the outside everywhere and the place is full of green tree frogs,micro bats and various spiders but has no rodent problems :)
The odd taipan is seen around the acreage but never inside.
Both kids,7 and 8 years old now, have no fear of snakes,can identify the most common ones and are passionate relocators.
Great place
