Hi everyone. I thought I'd post the highlight of my Monday night. My husband found a White-crowned Snake (Cacophis harrietae) in our garage and called me to come identify and retrieve.

We took some photos and then released it into bushland across the road.

Now for the technical stuff FYI -

"White-crowned snakes spend their days hiding under leaves and other ground debris, but come night it's out looking for food - mainly skinks.
White-crowned snakes can grow to 40-50cm and are mildly-venomous but not classed as dangerous. When threatened, they will defend themselves with thrashing strikes, but rarely try to bite.
White-crowned snakes are dark brown or steely grey with a white or yellowish stripe across their neck. They prefer damp places, and are very common in suburban Brisbane."
