Demansia psammophis
We found this tiny snake whilst bushwalking in the Tamworth Marsupial Park. It can't have been more than a day or two old. Its eyes were much redder than any other whip snake I have ever seen, and it had a beautiful maroon blush on the back of its neck. These snakes are venomous but not considered dangerous.

fantastic series!
Thanks Argybee! It was an amazing find... not only a strange time of year to be coming across hatchlings, but it was the 'newest' baby snake my husband's ever seen, he was pretty excited. : )
Wow I almost missed this one! Just fantastic find. Beautiful little creature.
nice series!
Thanks everyone! It was terribly cute. (My husband also said, "I want to keep it!" but of course we put it back where we found it.)
Amazing pics! I want one! :)
Lovely series! I love the tongue in the first 2 pics!
Great shots!
