I urgently need help identifying this snake (TW: deceased snake). My neighbor’s cat was playing with it, and I’m concerned it might have bitten her. I’m hesitant to inform the neighbors and cause unnecessary panic if it’s just a harmless tree snake. I live in Queensland, near the Mackay area. Any insights would be appreciated!

It’s important to identify the snake to ensure the safety of your neighbor’s cat and to inform them properly. In Queensland, there are several snakes that could be found in your area, including tree snakes, which are generally non-venomous, and other more dangerous species like the Eastern Brown or Taipan.
If you can, try to take a clear photo of the snake to help with identification. Look for distinctive markings, colors, and size. If you’re concerned about the cat, it’s best to err on the side of caution and inform your neighbors about the encounter. They can monitor their pet for any signs of illness or unusual behavior. It’s better to be safe and keep everyone informed, including the cat’s safety. If you’re unsure, you can also contact local wildlife authorities for assistance.
