Reptiles and pumpkins

Yesterday evening I took out a pumpkin plant that was all leaves and no pumpkins and planted some parsley plants in its place. As I was pushed the plants into place I spied a repitle a few inches from my fingers in the leaf litter.

I thought it was a blue tongue lizard and didn't worry too much but a friend said it could also have been a death adder which are also fattish and with stripes.
