This snake is distributed along the southeastern coast of Australia, including Victoria, eastern New South Wales, part of South Australia and Tasmania. This includes many of the most populous areas of Australia, and tiger snake bite is currently one of the most common snake bites in Australia, along with brown snake bite. Tiger snakes are active on warm summer evenings, and are attracted to farms and outer suburban houses, where they hunt mice and rats, and where they may be trodden on by unwary people barefoot at night. They prefer swampy or marshy ground, and hunt frogs around creeks, rivers or dams.This snake is distributed along the southeastern coast of Australia, including Victoria, eastern New South Wales, part of South Australia and Tasmania.

Excellent use of the "About" field, an interesting read and a great closeup of this snake. It is perhaps a little dark but the detail is still there, especially good is the scale detail. I also like how the out of focus twig on the right looks like a snakes fork-tongue.
