I went to try for a closer mug shot but he/she went away into the long
grass.

As I say to people who help in my garden " I do all the irrigation, if you
see some black pipe in the grass leave it alone and DON'T pick it up."

Gack!!!!! That is a big one! I hate snakes in my garden. We had an
Eastern Brown that was turned out to be about 50 inches long earlier in the
year. I really hate Tigers and Browns, but can tolerate Red Bellied Blacks
a tiny bit more.
