Sneaky quiz, snake is found overseas. Elapid.

Black Hooded snake - Tantilla rubrica cucullata

Looks kind of close, but not even related.

Its a calliophis, a long glanded coral snake from malaysia or indonesia

I could cheat by looking it up, but I will guess one of the snakes in the genus Furina or some other small Australian Elapid.

I got the genus right, but had no clue as to species. It looks like an Orange-naped Snake (Furina ornata).

Chris was very close with Furina ornata, but it was actually the Red-naped Snake (Furina diadema). Photo was taken from http://www.qmuseum.qld.gov.au/features/snakes/snakedetail.asp?TaxName=Furina diadema
