@lukeand09 Pretty common throughout much of SEQ. We occasionally even get them in parts of the CBD close to the river. Where there be rodents, there be brownsnakes ๐
Another busy day despite cloudy skies! This Eastern Brownsnake was hanging around for a few days in a rockwall near a house in Anstead. We found a more suitable area in nearby bushland down by the river ๐
