This afternoon, when my little terrier was very keen to go outside I looked tthrough the glass door and saw this Redbellied Black snake passing by. When it was heading away from the house I took these images. See also PiPs. The joys of living in a semi-rural area! Redbellies are venemous but not deadly to humans, but are the main cause of canine snakebite, so I hope my terrier doesn't see another when I'm not around!

It certainly took my mind off ipernity's pending closure when we found this small Red-Bellied Black Snake in our house, late at night! While venomous, these are not aggressive. This was only a youngster at about 400mm, fully grown they can be up to 2M long. Here it has been safely confined to a saucepan, prior to being released suitably far away. Explored.
