The perch in its click clack is the first give away and the second is that big fat head.
I'll go double or nothing with Hodges' life too :lol:

Stephens' banded snake:
Bandy-bandy:
Noticeable differences:
black and white versus black and yellow
narrow head versus broad head
I've never been bitten by a Stephens' banded snake

I picked it up. It bit me. I have that effect on things. It was a tiny little one.

I stand corrected. I've caught a few of those ones called Stephens Bandeds. Nice little snakes.

Count ur lucky stars in that case. They're potentially dangerous snakes.
Do you have much elapid handling experience. Perhaps you should work on you ID abilities before you go out herping next.
:lol:I'll teach you how to wrangle a bandy bandy one day if you like. :lol::lol::lol::lol: Scary buggers they are, there is a trick to tailing them that I have mastered.

I do have some handling experience, but i'm keen for more. I'm pumped to take on some big Browns. As for ID abilities, i've got a bit more to learn, but i'm 99% of the way there.
I thought i had Bandys covered, but i was proven wrong tonight (although i'm not 100% convinced dpeicas snake is not one).

It is a Stephens Banded, it's his snake I'm sure he would know.
Plus Bandy Bandy's feed largely (if not exclusively) on Blind Snakes, so keeping a Bandy Bandy would require a breeding colony of blind snakes, plus a nest of ants or termites for the Blind Snakes to feed on their larvae.

I've caught most of mine around chook pens. I presume their after the chicks. Occasionally i've found them in roof spaces, but thats fairly rare.

Have you got some pics of your Bandy Bandys ??

Dont usually take pics of them. I normally just take them down to the local swamps and let them go in the reeds.
