Identification please, Eastern Brown Snake?

[Snapped]

Mate found this snake half drowned in the cats water bowl in South Australia, so rescued it.

About 12 inches long.

[doublepost=1521096851][/doublepost]Apparently it's now doing okay, and he wants to release it in a nearby creek/grassy area. (obviously he's aware of the dangers etc)...just for curiosity is it an EB?

Thanks, I thought it was because of the head, but wanted to be sure before I passed on the info. Not sure why it was upside down in the water bowl, but maybe it couldn't get out.

Probably best to get a few more opinions just to be 110%

Thanks, I've left the post up there, just in case

Head shields, eye and black nape confirm it's definitely 100% juvenile Brown.

Probably chewed up by the cat and left there asa present.

But, the big question is... will he get fined $4,000 for saving it?

Nah, the cat was inside at the time....and she avoids snakes as she was bitten by an EB when younger. Nearly died.

Ha, yeah, that was a bit rough for the guy, wasn't it?

Cheers for that info.
[doublepost=1521188038][/doublepost]Just an update, little guy was released safe and sound near the creek this morning (just kept overnight to recover from the near drowning)...he seemed fine and was happy to be on his way.
