Very Nice, thanks for sharing.
They look similar to Western Browns! How closely related are they?

They are from the same family as the western Browns, both Dugites and Gwardars hatchlings do look alike in some areas.
There are places where dugites and gwarders can be found in the same habitat, for example the Swan Valley. I have not heard of any interbreeding of the 2 species, but not saying it hasn't or can't happen.
If it did happen, I don't think we would much to any differents in distribution between the two species as you can sometimes find Dugites having 2 or 3 postocular scales... thats my thoughts anyway.

Then you have the yearling to adult ones trying their hardest to try get away from you are come towards you really fast wanting to get you, but turns into a bluff, typical browns I guess.

yup, plus when juvi they look nice but turn poo brown with the odd speckle on em when adult
they are a brown snake, Spotted Brown, though not sure if as venomous as the Eastern they would be almost on par. and they are believed to hybridize with the Western Brown and this can pose difficulty in ID
Thats a bit rough LOL they are beautiful and varied as adults as well IMO
