I know it is a snake but identification help please.

Looks like a Woma (python)

Can't be totally sure but looks like a Rough Scaled Snake. See here for further info.

contrary to popular belief our snakes are not aggresive in the slightest although they will dislay defensive behavior the same as a blue tongue will open its mouth at you if you invade its space

I think snakes are like people, some want to snap your head off and others couldn't care what you do.

Was at work having a cool drink and a chat with a mate the other day, when he said I think you better step back, seeing a 4 foot brown idleing past, I did so post haste as I only had the stepping out thongs on. Called to old mate down the bar to move back as there was a brown headed his way.

That snake couldn't give a dam about all the people, he just wanted to get in behind the bar and look for a likely meal or warm spot, that or he had an alcohol
problem.

Couple of days before that another mate was walking to work, when he came across a similar sized brown, this snake decided he was the enemy and proceeded to have a couple of goes at him for no reason at all.

Maybe one was a male and the other a female, time of the month does strange things.

Have a good one.

Thanks to all.
My initial research suggested a Woma Python, perhaps I caught it out on a bad day, for a nocturnal animal snaking across that road in higher than usual spring temperatures would stress/put any one in a bad mood.
Snakes I have previously encountered over there have carried on doing their business and I have been quite happy to step back and let them carry on with that.
Colouring pattern, tail ,head, location, all adds up to a Woma Python, a nocturnal animal caught out in the heat of the day made be wonder.
That is what draws me back, never know what one might encounter next.

Well I might be going out on a limb here but I don't think it was a Woma.

My initial thought was a Brown Snake. I have seen them in that part of the world before so that would not suprise me.

I ahve done a bit of a search and while I would not get into an argument over it I would be treating it as a Brown Snake. The colour and banding are consistent with the brown and the longish pointy tail fits too. It also might explain the aggresive nature of the thing.

Duncs

I think it could be a Western Brown, they come in all sorts of colours.

Looks like a tiger to me and they are aggressive

Desert or no desert that's a tiger snake. Has to be too be that aggressive
