Found this little striped grass snake - ID?

[moosenoose]

Found this little thing under a rubbish bin lid at a friends house. Cute little critter, a bit feisty though. Looks like a grass snake of some kind :lol:

There was a young man who died recently in WA after a bite from a 35cm Western Brown - these things are incredibly lethal and even if it's a wind-up, pictures like this should not be posted on the internet. There are some very dumb people out there....

I'm pretty sure he knew exactly what it is.

After so many posts, I'd be surprised if he didn't... but there are lots of ignorant people on this site who may just actually think it's OK to do that with a very dangerous ven. I'm absolutely fine with those who know vens doing whatever they want with them in their own space or in context - they know the risks. But for those who actually might think that's a grass snake (an there'll be plenty who do) it sets a stupid example...

New one to add to the collection mate?

 

[Nighthawk]

Very pretty VenomOOse, but I think your stirring stick's getting a bit short :lol:
A disclaimer might have been in order there

:lol: Yeah. He was looking like Kooka-fodder. The bin he was under had 2 Kookas up in a gum tree. I haven't seen too many browns around the Yarra before. Generally they are all tigers.

Just to clarify my last comment wasn't aimed at you. It's just that you posted your comment before I finished typing mine.

Completely agree Jamie but I'm also a big fan of natural selection
