Lesser Black Whipsnake (5/5)

Squamata: Elapidae

Demansia vestigiata  

Driving towards Fogg Dam I noticed this snake resting on the road. I stopped the car and got out with my camera hoping it was alive and uninjured.

I was pleased it was healthy but disappointed it moved off the road so quick as I was only able to take one shot before it headed into the grass.

This snake was kindly identified for us by Lindley McKay.
