Its a Red Belly Black Snake.What kind of snake and is he poisonous? Kinda cute - NOT!
They are not "deadly" like a Tiger Snake, Brown Snake, Death Adder or Taipan. (A bite from any of those will put you six feet under!)

Young children and the elderly may have problems with a black snake bite though.
My Father was bitten on the elbow by a black snake and it made him very ill. He didn't seek medical attention because he was so far from town, (changing a tractor tyre on a property) but after a couple of hours he was ok to drive home.
Took him a few days to get over it though.
