brown tree snake

We came home one evening late last year to find a visitor on our back deck.
It was quite long - definitely over 1 meter. We quickly checked our Australian Wildlife book in hope of identifying our visitor. While it states that Brown Tree Snakes are venomous it also says they are not usually dangerous to humans as their mouths are so small.
Whew!!


2nd photo was taken through the glass of our back door (safety) as the snake was getting closer..
