Eastern Brown Snake (1/3)

Squamata: Elapidae

Pseudonaja textilis  

An Eastern Brown Snake hunting amongst fallen timber for frogs, lizards or small mammals.

It has discovered a large mammal in the shape of the photographer but isn't unduly bothered and slithers on past, continuing its search for prey.

The photographer was pleased not to be a frog, lizard or small mammal, and apparently not perceived as a threat either, and following this encounter went happily in search of a laundry.
