Western Whip Snake (Hierophis viridiflavus)...
I opened the back door to find this dear little fellow (about 45 cms long - 18inches) heading straight for the open door, I shot in to grab the camera and by that time it was nearly in the door, I managed to head it off in the other direction but it was not really happy about my ideas. It finally went and hid under the garden table so I left it to sort itself out and find a better place to go,..
I guess that it thought the house may be a little warmer to hibernate in!!...
