Notes:
When I first saw it I thought it might be Stegonotus cucullatus (Slaty-grey Snake), but it was darker than Stegonotus I had seen and also very shy (Stegonotus is described as being more defensive).
I'm glad I didn't grab it if it since it turned out to be the highly venomous Small-eyed Snake!
