Parasuta spectabilis

[Rocket]

I manage to find these guys every now and then and from what I can gather, its a Parasuta spectabilis spectabilis. If i'm wrong, please correct me as I have no clue when it comes to these small elapids - it measured approx. 20-25cms total length.

Found in the Barossa Valley, SA, this one was exceptional - beautiful vibrant colouration and well behaved. The photos don't do it any justice.

Heres the photos. Would love to know what you all think.
