Looks to be a white-lipped snake (D. coronoides). ACT specimens often have this orange-pinkish ventral surface. Hard to see the sides of the head to see if it has the white line along upper labials.

I agree with Will, unfortunately the one one thing not shown which could have been with a dead specimen was the white line on the side of the face. Something to remember for the future.
