I'm with Hawk. C.nigrostriatus
Can someone positively ID (save me the trouble of keying it) this one.
Initially thought it was a Cryptophis boschmai.. but getting back
and having a look at the couple of photos i took, it looks nothing like
a C. boschmai.. and more like some Furina..?
I think it is C. nigrostriatus, some of the one's I have seen around CQ are quite plain compared to the northern forms. The vertabral stripe can also be quite faded and sometimes even partial in CQ forms also- assuming it is a CQ form .
cheers Hawk.
I think its just the angle of the picture that makes it look like that........:?Aaron, that looks like a huge tiger snake....what size is it? Beautiful looking animal!
also what is the bulge in its throat....did it have a respiratory infection or just a drink?

could it be a dunmall's snake?(furina dunmalli)..........just askingHard to tell from that angle but it looks most like a secretive to me. Where is it from? I would say def not a furina.

thats the one I meant as a dunmalls snake?........its head looks different to a carpentaria snake.......could be just the picture too .but the carp has a smaller stubby face ,this one seems a little longer.....:?Can someone positively ID (save me the trouble of keying it) this one.

skot...Cryptophis boschmai........is a carpentaria snake.....found around Qld.in dry woodlands ....can you dumb it down for folk like me?
what are these ones you mention?
Curl snake....Suta suta
carpentaria snake is the 1st one and the second one is a small-eyed snake.........Hey Hawk,
It certainly was in CQ mate, but it could pose a range extension if C. nigrostriatus as it
was found at least 100km s/w out of its range (from the few books i have handy)...anyways
teaches me for not keying it out at the time.
