This is a common tree snake which we encountered on Keppel Island, off the coast of Queensland. They come in a range of colours including black, brown, blue, grey, green and yellow. Although it is harmless, without an immediate identification and the fact that Australia contains all of the top 10 most venomous snakes in the world I decided to give it the respect it deserves as it slid under the chair I was sitting in.
