Dead snake caught up in strawberry netting

Cathy, This is not a death adder. It appears to be upside down, small and dead (the presence of a fly). It is likely a brown snake but would like a better photo. If dead, but check carefully first, can you take a better photo of head and back.

Cathy, I agree, definitely not a Death Adder. Based on what I can see it looks like a Brown Snake, but not a very useful image to be sure.
