Seen in Emerald QLD
Was photographing some birds in a pond (Emerald botanical garden) and suddenly this fella was maybe 1.5 meters from my feet, shook me out of my boots. Quite slender, about a meter long I'd say. It didn't seem to mind me at all, just slowly slithered past me
Mentioned to some people yo there's a snake here be careful, they commented like yeah there's a friendly snek chilling around here all the time, he's cool. But then again the next people passing me knew nothing about a snake around here so I feel like the first guys maybe were just pulling my leg lmao.
Anyways what is it? Seems a bit menacing
