A Yellow Faced Whippy I saved from a damn cat:evil:
(As you can see from some of the scales)
One of the most docile snakes iv ever seen (But alert, no internal damage from cat)

And an Eastern Small Eyed, Glass House Mountains, QLD
Got more pics of them but cant be bothered finding them and putting them on photobucket.

 

[pogonavitticeps]

[DanTheMan]

the pics are great .............dan nothing wrong with saving a snake good on you ........nothing wrong with taking a good look at them either in the wild as long as they go back where you found them from...........some of us are a little more hands on with looking hey dan

Not to hijack this, but can someone tell me the difference between an elapid and a colubrid(?) please?

 

[redbellybite]

colubridae are either harmless with no fangs ,hence the green tree snake.......or rear fanged mildly venomous like the brown tree snake.........elapidae , front fanged snakes which vary in mild venomous to our lovely, highly most toxic in the world snakes ............eg mild would be yellow whip ..toxic nightmare would be your eastern brown

In Australia that pretty well rings true, but there are colubrids in other countries with venom potent enough to kill.
