check your bin

[Beano05]

A feral dog had knocked my bin over at night and this little bugger had got in. easy catch!

 

[Noongato]

Poor bugger, bet he regretted crawling into there. Haha

 

[Tim.Arm]

Nice find mate. Your bin looks nice and clean.....lol

 

[Beano05]

Its hard to keep clean when you get free range dogs in your yard evry night. They knock it over and tear up all the bags. I chain it up but sometimes I forget and have to clean up the yard. I let him go down the road away from the houses

[Beano05]

taipan

 

[callith]

[Jonno from ERD]

It's actually a Western Brown Snake mate, not a Taipan.

[redbellybite]

nice brown snake..........but...........CLEAN YOUR BIN OUT WITH BLEACH!!!!!! its disgusting and I felt sorry for that brown I bet he was happy to be out of that stinking hell hole ........lol

 

[pythoness]

nice find

 

[Beano05]

I need to get more Id books, I have the complete guide to Aust reptiles of oz and I was going back and forth with the pictures of the brown and tiapan and I went with what looked closest to the pictures.
Thank you all for giving the right info.
I did know it was a deadly little bugger!

 

[FNQ_Snake]

They do look similar both species. They both are similarly coloured on the top of the head and both have creamy colouration under their chins.

It is hard to distinguish but yes. A Western Brown - Pseudonaja nuchalis would be the correct ID.
