We are on a couple of acres and the snake is about 20 metres away from the front door. It sits under a tree that my wife and i planted not too long ago and has made its self a home by digging himself a hole (right where the loose soil is)under this tree. Now here is the kicker, we planted two of the same tree and the tree with the snake under it is thriving and the other one isn't doing so well, i guess the snake has gone down to the roots and fertilises it. I think that we will keep him....any thoughts? Hi there, i have a red belly black in my yard as we speak. We are on a couple of acres and the snake is about 20 metres away from the front door.

My friend who joined me on a walk in the Barrington Tops National Park (Dundungra Falls) photographed one of these (red bellied black snake) as it hurried from one side of the road to the next seeking shade, disappearing silently into the undergrowth. She stopped the car (abrubtly!) and jumped out with (my!) camera. It was a fairly big guy (maybe 1.5m in length) with striking red underbelly. Following snake links, I found this post.
