Maybe some striping to greyish brown back. Quite a thinnish snake with whitish unmarked belly. Obvious thinning between head and body making the head clearly defined. Head scales match Notechis scutatus. I have never seen tiger snakes here before but they are known to be a few km to the west of Moruya. There is a large dam nearby. Maybe it was a young snake and was hit by a car (though not squashed). Even though it is over a metre long, it had the appearance of a small snake. Its thin tail might have contributed to this.

This is not a white lipped snake. It is much bigger than Drysdalia coronoides. I have seen these a few kms from here but this snake is much much bigger than those. This snake is over a metre long.

It is bungaroides. The posting does not include the locality??

Hi Tim, fantastic shots- always a good idea to wet your hands before you hold a frog. The give-away for the id of this species is the seemingly cross-shaped pupil and the large toe-pads. It also has tiny emerald green specks or freckles all over its body, and yellow and black markings in the groin. It is called the maniacal cackle frog by many, due to its crazy call. It is the frog with the most colour changing abilities of all frogs in Oz. Keep frogging!
