You are definitely wrong, no water pythons in NSW!

its an elapid but not so sure what type first thought was tiger snake and then copper head but not so sure of both of them

 

[garthy]

I have been catch and release in this area for over 12 yrs and have never seen a tiger, my 1st thoughts were tiger but closer look at it's head says different, I am wondering if its not just a dark eastern brown.

I had to thumbnail them to meet file size restrictions, unless there is another way

don't thumbnail them down so much. The pics can be much larger then what you have them at. Also do you mean caught or killed?? That first pic clearly shows a cut through the middle!

when you click on them they stay same size

which is too small,just try posting them bigger it will work

ebs

 

[hornet]

not a rough scaled snake is it?

 

[garthy]

hopefully this helps, ignore the file names, I have learnt alot in this exercise. The belly scales are screaming eastern brown to me. Perhaps that drum in the photo is a 44, therefore it's a pretty big snake.

 

[garthy]

ebs

I'm with you

Why does the neck look so skinny in pic 2 compared with pic 1??

 

[garthy]

BTW the photos sent to me from a man that helped kill it. Remembering it was truly stuck in chicken mesh.
