Hi All,
I found inside our house what appears to be a Golden-crowned Snake or Cacophis squamulosus of the Family Elapidae. However, I was under the impression that they were more Queensland based and I’m on the Central Coast in NSW.
Does anyone know whether it might be more likely to be a Dwarf Crowned Snake, Cacophis krefftii, since this one has the “golden” crown but the body is black rather than the grey body that I have heard the Golden-crowned one has?
I know a photo would help but at the moment I don’t have my camera here. The snake is probably no more than 20-25cm long but seems quite agressive!
TIA for any advice and while I have only just joined, I have dropped in as a guest for some time and enjoy reading the posts.
