Old Croc Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I initially presumed it to be a cobra, but I don't know that they attack in that manner. It threw it's whole body at the threat! Perhaps a rat snake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tengtai Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Very hard to see the colors and pattern on it. Looks like a Golden Tree snake and they can jump. Vern Lovic, if you see this, you'er the expert. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inepto Cracy Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I recon a King Cobra. They will actively attack a target, not run away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileydude Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 That has happened in front of me before and usually a snake with that kind of gusto is either a Cobra or King Cobra. I have been face to face with a juvenile King Cobra before. It was about 25 meters in front of me as I was walking on the grass. Its erect body part was about 50cm and and because it was still young the underbelly color was still yellowish green so at first I thought it was a tall solitary plant but I was suspicious because a single large green blade of grass in the middle of the lawn looks odd. When I saw it move a bit I knew it was snake and starting to back pedal slowly. When the snake started to wind down instead of slithering away it started slithering towards me. Talk about aggressive. I had no time to notice which way it went after I started my sprint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freed1948 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I was driving across the Nullabor some time ago. In the not too distant ahead of me I noticed a frill-necked lizard, in the middle of the road looking at me in it's aggressive mode. Luckily it was safe between the wheels as I drove over it..
