Hi Liz,
Lucky you.
I am no herpetologist but as Al & Jeanette mention, it does look
similar in appearance to the Taipan (
Oxyuranus scutellatus) in our
"Complete Guide to Reptiles of Australia" by Wilson & Swan.
The book describes -
Quote:
2m (individuals over 3m recorded)
Orange-brown iris and long pale head with angular brow.
....
Shelters in abandoned animal burrows. Swift and extremely alert with
keen vision. Quick to flee when approached but will readily defend itself
when corned and harassed, and may deliver multiple bites in rapid succession

Are you sure you just didn't want to trump Jeanette's recent python photos?
Taipan beats Python, right?
