Hi

Just wondering if you can ID this snake by its skin. Attached is some photos. The skin length is approx 1.4m and 1cm in diameter

Any help would be appreciate the skin was around the trusses in the garage.

Common tree snake ?
is there a pic of the head?
 
Forgot to mention I am on the southside of Brisbane.

Here are some of the head bits, the skin is a little dirty on the head bit.

Thanks

The underneath and dorsal shots of he head are out of focusand too crumpled to be of any use. I can't even locate the eye scales. The third pic of the body scales allows a scale count = 13. That and the fact that the skin was in a well elevated position and the presumed location is Brisbane, in addition to a relatively thin body width to length (even allowing for stretching out of a cast slough)... all say Common Tree Snake (Dendrelaphis punctulatus).
