[jimmyd]

Yeah just picked up the sheet of corrogated iron and there it was! Was quite a surprise! It was a really stormy morning, that cover was the only dry place around. thanks everyone, oh and I caught some nice fish that morning too! lol

What kind of fish jimmy?

 

[elapid68]

It's not Pseudechis or Superbus, like MrBredli I'd put my money on the Eastern Small Eye Cryptophis nigrescens

 

[jimmyd]

mostly bream, was fishing for thread fin salmon but the weather didnt help, always next time!

yes its a small eye.

 

[cam]

my guess
red belly black
or a a species of the black snake family

YOUR KIDDING RIGHT?

Yep, i know this comment is superfluous, but looked up the headscales (great headscale shot btw) and it definitely looks lyk a small-eyed.
