JAN'S DESERT BANDED SNAKE Simoselaps bertholdi
Jan's Desert Banded Snake (Simoselaps bertholdi) which belonged to me from Eyre Peninsula South Australia , was used in a documentary "Year Of The Green Centre"

This small species that has weak venom and is unlikely to bite even when handled. Usually found in Sandy soils or leaf litter. It is able to bury itself in loose sand.

Jan's Desert Banded Snake (Simoselaps bertholdi) is very similar to the West-Coast Banded Snake (Simoselaps littoralis) and the Northern Desert Banded Snake (Simoselaps anomalus)
