Found a big old skin of about a 5' Brown bycatch in the yard when I did the mowing on Saturday.  Just near the pool.

Ray,

That's a Keelback ( Tropidonophis mairii) . The only native Australian snake that can eat cane toads and not die. Totally harmless as well. Looks like it needed it needed a snorkel.

Cheers,
Dave.
