Around Eromanga area? 2hrs NW of Thargomindah doesn't really get you into Inland Taipan country.

ok dark brow in winter and lighter in summer which in the sun thay have a green tinge....i get it now.........so many dead on the road due to all the road trains passing

 

[Kracken]

maybe he was seeing dark headed asphids?

 

[Dendrobates]

I've seen black-headed mengdens and aspids out there so maybe it would be them.

 

[The_Geeza]

Not at all im very interested in this thread as u guys have some balls...(was guna say nice snakes)...but balls is more to reality.......so many aussie snakes look similar...eg brown marsh and crown at a quick glance....easy for u guys u keep them lol

 

[richoman_3]

he just asked you a question and you cracked it.

 

[Dendrobates]

There's nothing ballsy about keeping elapids.

 

[Kracken]

id say ozimid in the area you said just above thargominda you would possibly be seeing Pseudonaja aspidorhyncha the shield snouted brown snake which can look very similar to an inland tai

 

[Snapped]

Thanks Skinks (and Kracken)...fantastic photos too, it's great to see close ups of elapids, just stunning snakes!
