Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if someone can give me some info on the Eastern Brown Snake, specifically, babies. There are at least 2 young snakes in a drain system at the TAFE where I attend, and I think they are brown's. Is it true that young brown snakes have black on their heads like a copperhead? If yes, when does this black fade or disappear? In my best estimate, one of the snakes (Browny) is about 50-60cm long, and the other (Browny Jnr or BJ) is about 30-40cm long. I have taken some photos of the snakes with my mobile phone, but they aren't very clear because of the distance & shadows in the drain. I will get them off my phone and try to post them on here.
