    Any snake experts here?

    Can anyone help me to identify this type of snake? Unfortunately this is the 2nd of its type I've found dead on the road.

    Thanks

    Could be a mock viper.

    Not an expert on snakes, but know enough to stay the hell away from them if at all possible :-)

    It's non venomous, by the way...

    its a red mountain racer (can tell them from other reddish snakes by the really white belly) - basically a reddish rat snake and not poisonous

    that is most definitely not a trouser snake, but just as deadly.

    Yes it most probably is a Red Mountain Racer, thank you!

    Not saying you are wrong but I am not going to rely on that "not poisonous" claim when I see one.
