Dendrelaphis punctulatus (Common Tree Snake) - Although head damaged, one can still make out the loreal scale. That in combination with the long thin body shape, head shape and large eyes, are diagnostic. The slightly more robust build, lack of a dark streak through the bottom of the eye and overall colour distinguish it from Dendrelaphis calligaster (Northern Tree Snake).
A beautiful blue phase animal with blackish tones on the dorsal surface. If not from Mackay may I ask where it was located?
