I am posting a bit early today because I am out this afternoon.
As I was taking a photo of the One Mile Lifesaving building, I spotted this yellow faced whip snake. It was really travelling along and measures about 1 metre long.
Don't know if it is dangerous or not but it wasn't too bothered that I was taking a video of it. This is a screen grab of the video.
@rickster549 I was pretty close. You can see the low wall in yesterday's photo and the path through to bushland behind the lifesaving building is quite narrow. Luckily the snake wasn't interested in me he just wanted to stroll off into the bushland as he wiggled his way along.
He is a lovely length, isn't he? I don't mind snakes. Can't stand arachnids! I love all the loopy bends in this fella. Always reminds of that Jungle Book scene where Kaa is having his coils pulled by Shere Khan the tiger.
@happypat We do see quite a few snakes, but this is the first time I have seen a whip snake. Usually, we see plenty of diamond pythons which aren't venomous or red bellied black snakes, they are venomous but tend to be rather docile. Most snakes will keep out of your way if you don't bother them.
