Help Required to identify this snake

[Fran]

This snake was found near Pennant Hills, Sydney. Unfortunately somebody did not like it. Can anyone tell me what it is? I thought it may be a tiger snake but the bands seem very fine.

Why do people kill animals for no good reason.

Really ****** me off.

It's a nice little Eastern Brown Snake. About 6 foot long I reckon...not too huge.

to me it looks like a young eastern brown snake the bands are fading which happens and the motled spots are slightly under its belly ...its colouring can vary from the brownest of browns to the black and greys ...becareful handling the head even though it is dead you still wont wanna prick yourself with the fangs ...
