What snake is this?? Mk II

[jode_01]

The experts might know but i think i read somewhere that they bloat up so they don't sink?????

 

[Casey]

I would say eastern brown...you didnt see its belly at all?

On second thought, i think your right...might be a keelback

 

[RedEyeGirl]

what a beautiful snake - good find. He has heaps of ticks on him - do they effect snakes?

Yeah I noticed that would that effect him?:?:|

Both ticks and mites feed on blood and severe infestations may cause anemia, leaving the snake weakened and susceptible to disease.

Eastern Brown

Aw how sad.If i ever see an animal with ticks(like blueys and other lizards) I rescue them and call WIRES.

Mulga snake, although called a king brown, its actually a member of the black snake family

eastern brown snake, as the name suggests, it actually is a member of the brown snake family

Eastern Brown, its flatterning out (looking fat) because it's swimming

 

[AUSGECKO]

Looks like the taipan in a previous thread! so im going with Eastern brown! lol

 

[ryanharvey1993]

looks like an eastern brown to me, would be nice seeing it swimming. have you got any shots of the hatcho ones you saw? everyone is finding brown snakes except me

The juveniles I saw were about as thick as my skinny old finger & maybe 2 to 2 1/2 foot long & appeared nothing like a juvy eastern brown, just a small version of the big fella with a slightly paler head than body. I followed one when it swam into the sticks to get some photos & I lost sight of it. Shortly thereafter I considered it prudent to retreat to open water. I assumed they were all Taipans, but what do I know! I'm sure the big fella wasn't a mulga though.

Maybe it was a Collets on holidays.
