Very sad to see two of these dead together on the road.

A smaller-medium snake on the beach caught a gecko while we were watching it, but gecko got away eventually leaving only a tail for snake to chew on

Small snake found in 5-10cm of water amongst mangrove scrub (<2m tall) in Exmouth Gulf. Was going in and out of crab/mud-skipper burrows. Looks to be a range extension of Fordonia leucobalia.

Two individuals found dead on road, side by side. Very fresh. One male, one female. It's possible they were mating when they were killed.
