Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Darren Pietersen
Comment:   Definitely an Elapsoidea, and the distribution and pale chin and throat suggest E. l. multicincta. There don't appear to be any pale bands on the body, suggesting that it is a large adult (and also the first report of absence of bands in this species). The dark grey ventrum is a bit off-putting as this species is supposed to have a pale ventrum.
