12.01.2022 Meet our first cover star of 2021: the Golden-crowned snake. Thanks to Kylie Madden for the words and George Madani for the photo. If the Northern Illawarra had a wildlife emblem, it would be the golden-crowned snake. Being a snake that happens to be brown, they’ve been freaking out new arrivals since time immemorial. However, the ‘Golden-crown’ is about as harmless as they come. ... They are a little rainforest dweller, mostly eating small skinks. If you’re not a skink, you’re not in danger. Golden-crowned snakes are very common in the Northern Illawarra, more so than perhaps anywhere else in Australia. They are often seen in the bushier parts of suburbs like Thirroul, though they can turn up just about anywhere. I once found one in the carpark at Aldi in Fairy Meadow. They are not aggressive, though if cornered they will try to put on a bit of a show and convince you they are a brown snake. They aren’t. It’s all bluff and not a particularly convincing bluff at that. They have an orangey-red belly that is part of their show, but it looks very different to the blood-red of a red-bellied black snake. What to look for: The pretty golden crown. It’s an obvious feature letting you know it’s one of the harmless ones. Want to know more?
