Guess the snake...

Can anyone guess what this lovely little specimen is?


Just realized this is the wrong thread for this but anyway...

Hmm... I'm guessing slatey grey? If not maybe small eyed although it looks like day time so I'm unsure

Where are you from?

If not maybe small eyed

Hmmm, I'll pick a trickier one next time...
Correct, small eyed snake (Cryptophis nigrescens). Found two of them under a sheet of tin (they are a communal species) during the day after the rain.
I'm around Brissy area and these things are really common. You can literally point to a rock in some places and say, "There's a small eyed snake under that".

Haha! Yeah they seem to be the only elapid I find (I'm on the sunny coast) strangely I see more small eyeds than carpets here lol

To be fair I only really night herp so that's why I find small eyeds over other things

We should do a daily guess the snake. That would be fun lol

I'm on and off throughout the week so not me. It could be an open thread and anyone can post? Unless your available and can post each day then that would work.

 

[ElapidHooks]

Yep I will do it for now and post when I'm going away or something
