Hi @BirdoMatt, thanks for your sighting. It looks like the location information you provided is incorrect. This can occur if the GPS sensor in your device was having a bad day. Please review and update the location of this record when you get a chance.

This is the nominate subspecies, which is restricted to Kangaroo Island. Nice find Josh!
The number of toes is vitally important in distinguishing between this species and the other species of Hemiergis found on the island, namely H. peronii, which has four toes, whereas this appears to have three.

This is actually a juvenile Jacky Dragon. One of the best ways to tell the difference between these two species is the presence or absence in this case, of rows of enlarged spinose scales on the sides of the base of the tail.

The two most likely contenders, Pseudonaja a. affinis and P. mengdeni are both extremely variable, so it could be both, but juvenile P. affinis are described as having "a black head and nape, and dark flecks on body forming a herring-bone pattern." (Wilson & Swan, 2021)
Which is what we have here I think.

Pseudonaja affinis affinis
