Hoping somebody could help with snake I.d.
Location Mataranka NT. Looked like a juvenile snake photo has been cropped.
Thanks

My new doorman protecting the gate handle. Baby carpet snake? Whatever he was I gently moved him with a broom handle and shoo’d him away quietly. Keen to confirm what I feel is a fairly clear pattern.

Walked out my gate in Ashgrove and this is sunning itself.

Couldn't believe my luck when I found this beauty crossing the road (north of Birdsville). What a gorgeous snake; great temperament and we guessed it to be about 1.7m in length. Crossed the road, and then hung around and foraged for a while - going along the road for a bit before turning into the roadside scrub and disappearing.

[Queensland Australia] One metre long, slender body, dark head, light belly

What type of snake?

It’s probably about 15 cm long.

You may have to zoom to see as s/he is well camouflaged against the rock. Tail begins in the top left corner and the head is on the right side of the pic about half way up.

My friend took this photo. She said it was a large snake. Maybe 2m. She gave it a wide berth. It was just chilling on the trail as everyone walked past.

Time of year may/june if that helps.
