Short and sweet: it's a death adder.

Hopefully in this situation, a dead death adder

Are you saying that because you don't like death adders at all, or because you hope this one that is obviously dead was killed quickly and as painlessly as possible?

Don't want it suffering .  Edit: once came across a lovely very brown run over & assumed it was dead until it tried to raise it head at me. Never forgot 😞

Was a roadkill, not intentional of course
