Australia's most orange snake

Sdaji · Aug 19, 2008

I'm just wondering what the most orange snake in Australia is (no, don't include your sunglow stripe Corns etc). I've seen a few including some pretty orange Tigers and one exceptional Eastern Brown. A couple of little Furinas have been quite orange and there are some reasonable Adders, Coastal Taipans, etc.

So if you are kind enough to indulge me, please give me your opinion or better still, post a picture.

You should have also specified no fake tans!

this is the best i got.

But i think some of those Wellsei would have to be the winners.

colletts?

A patternless Collett's would come close, but I've never seen one of those.

Nice broad head on that Furina

You might be right, perhaps the most orange Australian snake is a Death Adder.

This Coastal Taipan of mine is a nice orange.

Coral Snake maybe?

Somewhere in the depths of the elapid thread is a bright yellow/orange inland taipan. I suspect it may have been radioactive.

So far not one mention of Bredli? I have seen a couple of magnificently coloured Hypo Bredli that You could only call Orange!

I'm new to the reptile world, but I saw some nice pictures of a Uluru Woma? had a bright orange belly, I'm not sure if it was for real though..

The most orange snake I've probably ever seen is a Simoselaps minimus. Other than that pobably a wellsi.

Shane that taipan is a beaut.

I have a pic at home of a nice Keelback that is really orange, I will try remember to dig it out and post it when I finish work.

Here's a couple of Adders some might call orange.

I have seen an orange brown but then it would have been an orange wouldn't it. If I saw patternless colletts would probably look either like a brown mulga or a blue belly. Ive seen a reasonably orange mulga and a very orange taipan that my wife almost trod on though she swore it was hot pink. I put that down to adrenalin.
The orange bands on the heavily contrasting wellsii that Rob posted in another thread was pretty stunning.
Nothing though that I would classify as a true orange though I think Im looking more at a saffron.

An upside down water python perhaps?

Sdaji · Aug 19, 2008

Some Boiga might be up there. I suspect it would have to be an elapid or colubrid. I used to have a vivid orange Keelback, and I've seen a few of them.

Interesting snakes

Thanks for indulging me

I think Shane's Taipan gets my vote for the most orange of the thread's pictures so far.
