Today whilst at work in roof (i do air conditioning) out near Mount Tambourine i came across a snake skin that was about 1.6m long and hand a constant brown colour from head to tail with no other colour marks at all (it was a perfect skin in 1 piece). After inspecting the skin i came to the conclusion it was a Common Eastern Brown snake and i kept my eyes peeled for the big bugger, surely enough 2 or 3 minutes later i sighted its tail slithering underneath some insulation that's when i got the F*!k outta there!!
How would i definatly identify the snake from the skin? the scales were quite large especially 2 of the scales on the head. the diameter of the body was roughly the same size as a ladies implulse deodaraunt can.
The owner of the house said red bellies and browns are quite frequent at his house and the roof stunk like mice...........
Now this house it quite a distance from a hospital what would i have done if i had been bitten? apply pressure and start the journey to the hospital ASAP?
