00:00Down there it is, yep. Can you? Nah can't tell what it is yet. Is it a keel? Yeah it's a keelback.
00:10Keelbacks are most commonly found close to creeks and rivers, where they hunt frogs and other

00:28He's on the move, get him, get him, he's going to go down the gap, grab him, before he goes down the gap.
00:33Hey, hey, hey, you're okay. Did he just bite you? Nah, just threw his head at me. Good catch, good wrangle.
00:41Yeah so he's non-venomous, so he's a keelback or a freshwater snake.
00:45Did you let him look or are you good? These guys actually are the only species of snake
00:50in Australia that can eat cane toads, so they can tolerate the cane toad poison.
00:56Cool. Yeah they're pretty amazing. Yeah well, more amazing if he's not here. Yeah. All right, we'll get
01:02him in the bag and take him away for you. Hey, you're all right, we're not gonna hurt you.
01:10He's so cool. Yeah, great colors on him, you can see that sort of pink line down his belly scales
01:15there on the side. He's so keen to go. All right, we'll let you go little fella. All right, see you later.
01:26Bye.
