This snake also gets confused with young Red belly blacks but has a very distinctive cream stripe from the eye to the neck and another along the top lip.
The upper body colour ranges from brown to a dark olive greyish colour and the head can be lighter, found around creeks and watercourses,mainly found when gardening in heavy mulched areas as they hunt for small lizards
Local swelling after a bite may occur.
VENOMOUS BUT NOT REGARDED AS DANGEROUS.
