Identify the snake

Postby Aloha » Fri Sep 30, 2016 9:53 pm

Hi,
My mother has a place in Bettys Bay,
and every time we get there, these snakes lie below the garage door, where the sun bakes all day. Can someone help me identify this snake please. We always move the towards the bushes nearby and would love to know what type of snake it is.

That is a red lipped herald. They have venom but are not dangerous at all.
What a world....
