G’day folks,
Seeing as my last id this animal thread was a resounding success I’m trusting you guys to help me again.
Location: SW Riverina NSW 50km from Victorian border
The info I have:
It is about a foot long. Chocolate brown with orange stipes on it’s sides. Blunt headed and ended. Thickness of my friend’s thumb the length of it’s body. she couldn’t see any legs but cannot guarantee it didn’t have any. I moved more like a caterpillar than a snake but she thinks that may be because of the grass it was going over. She didn’t really see any features at the head end. She said that it’s skin glistened and made her think of an amphibian.
She spotted the beastie while walking around her dam. Well actually she spotted the *yabbie first (they normally are found in water but have been known to travel overland - still a bit unusual) then she noticed our mystery whatzit which seemed to be chasing the yabbie.
I honestly don’t have a clue.
Any help would be much appreciated.
MRW
