seen or side of road in wheat belt Mid West (early morning) wanted to get better photo but was afraid it would take off ..:| I thought It was big but 2km down road was another one which was a lot larger. I'm thinking King brown (mulga)
I headed out to the Brigalow Belt in Queensland to meet some friends of ours and see what cool critters we could find. I've been out to this particular spot a few times, but have never managed to see a De Vis' banded snake (Denisonia devisi), despite this area being well-known for this snake...

The table is not mine, but comes...

Post from doc after judgement.
All in all, that was a good effort. When you give out the scores could you point out that I rewarded points for picking the differences and for pointing out the exceptions to the rule as well (e.g. snakes have forked tongues and lizards don?t ? except goannas...
Hi Guys, just thought I would share with a photo of the Pseudechis australis I found when working with a researcher at Fogg Dam. He was certainly a feisty bugger! Good size too.
Looks kinda like a cobra huh !
