Today's Photo

I came across this little fellow when I was putting the garbage out this afternoon.

He is one of my favourite snakes- a dead one.

I suspect that Pheebs our cat might have killed it this afternoon.

  1. Beautiful snake! Sort of metalic-champagne color!

  2. Beautiful but deadly. It is, I think, an immature brown snake which is very venomous. They can also be quite aggressive.We think that they live in the railway land across the road from us and travel down to the creek at the back of our place for water. I think mostly they go along the boundary line as we generally don't find snakes in our yard- although last summer we spotted a few because of the drought and water and food were pretty scarce.

  3. Sad that something so beautiful is so harmful.
