Just too late...

[Bernice]

I am fully kicking myself for not driving into a garden center 10 minutes earlier...

On arrival the car guard warns me of the snake in the parking, it was already dead, beaten and mangled... after a look, and consulting my field guides it turns out to have been a yellow bellied house snake (Lamprophis fuscus)

Sorry no pics available... just wanted to share my frustration at uneducated ignorant asshats that stand there and make like they a bluddy hero for stomping on a little 30 cm harmless snake...
