Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and admittedly will be an infrequent visitor... but I'm hoping you can offer your expertise in identifying the following snake for me?
This good looking guy was spotted near the beach, in bushland and not far from a built-up area in Byron Bay, near Brisbane, Australia. We were there on holiday recently and the kids want to show their classmates some pics, and I thought it would be educational to identify him so they can talk about him in a bit more depth.
I'm having trouble finding any snakes of these colours with similar markings, but have also learned that markings can vary significantly anyhow.
I'm pretty sure at least that he's a python. Your help would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance
