baby tiger snake

Was just whipping up a pav in the kitchen when Ad came in and said "one of our chooks is carrying a snake". Crikey, he was right! I carefully took it from the chook (who was pretty upset at me taking away such a catch) and have it in a jar. It's clearly a baby tiger snake. Hmmm. Tiger snakes give birth to 30-40 live babies, I just read, so where are all its siblings? And its parents?!
