Pale-headed snake

Pale-headed snake

Pale-headed snake (Hoplocephalus bitorquatus). One of the few truly arboreal elapids we have here in Australia. They like to shelter in tree hollows and under exfoliating bark on trees along waterways. They generally eat lizards and frogs, but are capable of delivering a serious bite to a human.

Found at Lake Broadwater, a couple of hours west of Brisbane.

Pale-headed snake belongs to the following groups:
