Hi, I know there's a few Herp nerds/Snake enthusiasts on here and was wondering if I may be able to ask for some knowledge.
Location is Southern Sydney, inside the RNP. My back yard borders directly with the bush (Via a fire break)
Today I was in the backyard when I spotted a snake headed into my Laundry door from my lovely Wifes planting pots. It was ~ 80cm in length and when I got closer to check it out it disappeared into the wall of the house in a gap where the hot water pipe goes into the gyprock. I was thinking either Juvenile Brown or Green Tree Snake. I waited a while, had a Bex and a lie down. When I returned, my little mate was back on the floor of the Laundry and I managed to remove him with a minimum of fuss. It was not aggressive in the slightest during my removal. BTW long handled window squeegees are great snake pinner-downerers. The foam wipey bit ensured he remained un-bruised. I grabbed his tail and out we trotted. :fear:
So I'm thinking maybe a Green Tree Snake? We have lots of Red Bellied Blacks around and a huge Frog populace, but I've never seen a brown around. What do youse reckon?
Here is a pic I took post release.
Stock shot of a nice Green Tree Snake.
