Hi, this is my first post - please can someone help ID this little fella for me .. .I "think" it's a brown house ... but would love to confirm

Looks like a brown water snake. Totally harmless.

Hi .Just to be difficult this looks more like an Olive House snake or maybe a dark Brown house snake with head stripes-need a close up of head? :smt004

Brown House snake with no head stripes-sorry.

Definitely Brown Water Snake.

Thanks for all your help/replies

Top of head as close as I could get (camera won't focus if any closer for some reason)

so either a brown water snake or a brown/olive house snake ... in both cases ... not poisonous?

Looks like a Brown water snake.. But the ones I usually came across had more pink/salmon on their belly.. the head and eyes look like a brown water snakes.
Westley is very good.. so I would go with him.
