Brown Snakes (Pseudonaja spp.) - new species described and photos. (3225 words)
In some areas, young may be born with or without bands, even from the same clutch of eggs.
The species (as identified here) is known from all Australian States, however in the NT, it is only known from the McDonnell Ranges and adjacent areas to the north, including the Barkly Tableland, while a single specimen is known from WA (Gordon Downs, in the Kimberley District).
In the other (Eastern) states the species is most common in wetter regions, although within these areas, they prefer open woodland and grassland type habitats, where they are sometimes extremely common.
