Snake Gurus

[Aaron]

Caught this snake today inside the house. Does anyone know what it is?

The underside color was light brown.

Looks like a Copper Belly Black Snake, Regards Frank.

[Aaron]

Found some pics on the net. Appears to be a "Yellow-faced Whipsnake"

Yeah i'd agree with that i was having a look round too.

A bit of info Yellow-faced Whip Snake (http://www.amonline.net.au/factSheets/whip_snake.htm)

[FenianEel]

Can't quite tell, maybe a Black Whip Snake?
Where's Crump when ya need him?

[Aaron]

I ate him....

[Redback]

I was going to say Eastern brown, because of the blunt head, the whip snake has a sharper head and is darker.

I could be wrong

[Aaron]

Through my brief research, its identical to the eastern tiapan, but the eye markings on it were pretty conclusive of the whippet

Defintely not a trouser snake:eek:

Ho har BOM BOM! :D

[crump]

Definitely a Yellow Faced Whip, mildly venomous, burning pain followed by an intense itch, feeds mainly on small skinks, not considered dangerous to humans.

You sure?


..... burning pain followed by an intense itch, feeds mainly on small sk(a)nks, not considered dangerous to humans. :eek::D:wasntme:

[rovercare]

I hope your trouser snake isn't venomous and leave symptoms like that:eek:

[crump]

You sure?

:eek::D:wasntme:
:D:D:D
spose it depends on what sort of dose we are talkng about.

[Slunnie]

I'm pretty sure the trouser snake only has one eye like a cyclops, where that one has two eyes. :D

[Panda]

You caught it inside the house?

I still have nightmares about an old James Bond movie where the baddies put a bad **** snake in Bond's bedroom & it made it's way onto the bed . Had a snake phobia ever since. Took months after watching that to be able to sleep! Give me a spider any time of the day!

[Aaron]

Yeah inside. Its actually common to get tree snakes inside. I dont mind catching them all that much, but they're so very fast and such a nervous snake.

If it was me finding a snake in the house you would need much more than a vanilla leaf air freshener for clean up!

Does look like a whip snake a bit.

Make a fine fan belt for the landy

?? You go catching snakes without knowing what sort it is??

Reminders of my neighbour's story.. he was posted to an admin position in a private school in Alice. Down comes the news that there's a snake in a classroom. Said neighbour panics, starts ringing police, insurance cos. etc. When he got their, the girls had long since caught it. And cracked it.

Can anyone identify this snake?
Maybe Aaron can come & catch it.
I found it on the verandah last night when I went to feed precious, our cat.

One good reason not to let your kitties out at night....

[numpty]

FWIW You never want to be bitten by a trouser snake, as it takes 9 months for the swelling to go down.:angel:

[Panda]

Well thanks for that DeeJay ... I'm even more paranoid now. I have 4 cats one of them is as deaf as a post! I'd have a full blown coronary if I came home to see my poor cat strung from the rafters. Please tell me it didn't suffer:( (Or alternatively LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH)

Precious did'nt suffer, he had terminal cancer and was on $30.00 worth of painkillers a day. He would'nt have felt a thing.
Believe me, I drive Landrovers I would'nt lie to you:angel:

Nicce!

Id catch a Tainpan to prevent it getting to my 18month old nephew. Why didnt I move my nephew, the situation is hard to explain, but wasnt the best option.

Sorry about your cat DeeJay

If your still living in Sydney your verandah must stretch all the way to Nth QLD for you to have that Amythestine Python on it:eek:, unless its an escaped pet.Interestingly, being Australias largest python, up to 6m,they are the reason that Feral Cats and foxes are not much of a problem in the tropical northern rainforests.

if that pic was taken anywhere south of Townsville, that snake is an escapee from a private collection, so whats the full story Deejay???:eek:

[DeeJay]

Geez you guys crack me up...

The only time I've been really serious was when I was going for my drivers licence.

[DeeJay]

Off the net, I thought it was maybe in Florida. Interesting to hear its Qld.
