My daughter called out that there was a dead snake in the yard - obviously killed by my cattle dog. She said it was a black snake.
As soon as I saw it I said No it's an eastern brown - but then thought no it's a black.
It has the black body of the red-bellied black snake, the orange blotches of the eastern brown - but the head is brown. A similar looking snake would be the Swamp or Marsh Snake with the two cream stripes on the head - but this one has no cream stripes.
Any ideas???
