Found this little guy on monday whilst cleaning up the green house. 2nd time i have found one of these in my greenhouse and only about 15cm away from the last one, by the size its probably the same snake as it was released back there both times. Huge population of skinks in the greenhouse as there is a nice thick cover of plants on the ground and constantly wet in there so no surprise the skink feeders would be hanging around. Can anyone confirm if it is a white crowned or is it a dwarf crowned?

Looks like a White Crown to me.
We found some in the backyard not too long ago (dead).
I've pickled them :)
 
i found 2 dead in 1 day last year i think it was, neither had any injuries. 1 was in the garden at the front of the house, wasnt actually dead but was pretty close to it, was odd to find 2 dead in a day that were in perfect physical condition
 
G'day hornet,

It is a White-crowned. Dwarf-crowned Snakes have a "crown" only one scale wide.
 
Thanks for the id guys :)
