[FONT="]Hi there,
I found this little one near my back steps this morning. Unfortunately, it was already dead and has some cat puncture marks near its head (dark discolouration) as well as elsewhere.
I've googled images and am not sure if its a snake, legless lizard or blind snake.
At first, until i got closer it was hard to tell its head from its stumpy rear end, which seems to indicate it's a blind snake, but I couldn't find anything similar in colour for the NSW area - although it was difficult to find much information.
It is a brownish colour on top, but white and shiny underneath. I have a thick garden in parts with quite a bit of mulch about which backs onto natural bushland with a water course.
Any help with an id would be awesome!
Ta,
Amanda.
