This is a very fast moving and aggressive snake can strike from up to half its body length.
Ranging in colour from light grey brown to dark brown on the upper body with cream to yellow on the underside with blotches of orange to grey .
Juveniles can have stripes and or a dark black head losing these as they mature.
When disturbed will stand its ground sitting in an S position and hissing.
VENOMOUS AND REGARDED AS DANGEROUS.

Hi, I live in Mangerton next door to a vacant block with lots of undergrowth. Last night we had a baby brown snake in our garden. It was about 1/2 metre long and was raised in an agressive stance. Is there anything we can do? we only have a small outside garden and have grandchildren that often play there.
