I brought this snake from a new pet shop a couple of days ago. They told me she was a costal but i know she isnt. My reptile shop thinks she might be a townsville but i havnt been able to find any pics of any that look the same. I am new to owning snakes so im not the best at identifying different species. I also have a costal and he is the total opposite. She is only young and is a very light reddish tan colour with faint marking. I think they got her from a place called pales for scales.

please help.

Its a taipan!:lol: lol sorry just kidding, im not sure but it is a nice looking snake:)
 
her markings dont match up with my costals. my costal has a totaly different pattern.
 
Looks like a Coastal to me, maybe a bit hypo-melanistic, Mine was bright orange when she was younger, but now shes te typical Coastal colours.
 
What makes you think she isn't a coastal? Coastals are an exceptionally variable species just because it doesn't look the same as your other one doesn't mean it's not a coastal.
