Kalimantan was disappointing and wonderful

We had 6 cancellations in the last week before we went
[next time we will take deposits before booking everything]

Those who went are already booked in again for trips next year

Here are a few teasers about this trip

rest while you can

We spent a great few hours with these young conservationists
Many of them had never seen a snake up close before
Wonderful evening that will be a part of every tour from now on
These groups are the future of conservation in Indonesia

I have searched for these many times
red headed krait
bungarus flaviceps, tadung anggang
Finally my holy grail came right into camp to visit instead

Everyone was a bit disappointed I wouldnt let them play with it
But were a minimum of 12 hours from any medical care and these guys can be deadly

plenty of time to play too

For the first time in my life I felt old here. Walked out about 5 metres and had to sit down. Never had problems with anything like this before. Ross Mcgibbon did the guardian angel bit and guided me over both trips. Otherwise Id still be sitting there

there are hundreds more photos
but these give a general idea
 
Looks like you've been very busy indeed! I love seeing updates on what you've been doing. Always something interesting!

What is happening in the first pic? That looks like bits of snake everywhere?!

About 4metre king cobra demolishing a 2+metre ptyas mucosus, oriental rat snake

Just missed another 3.5metre king yesterday
But we know exactly where it holes up now
Will track it through wet season
 
I have been waiting for these pictures. What a great selection of animals. The second forest dragon you posted is a incredible specimen.

Wow, I'm sure you're used to it but that would be amazing to witness in person!

You need a tv series so we can watch you in action all the time :D

Pretty sure its a naga sputertrix, spitting cobra. But something is different about this one

No photos yet but fast advice required

We had to move a female nesting King cobra today
Her nest was in a plantation and the owners did not want her or her brood on their property
It was a question of move them or lose them all

We estimate the eggs need another 3 weeks incubation
We have a total of 25eggs
Each one was removed and replaced into the nest mound material in the same position
We need to know estimated incubator temperature and humidity for kings

At present we are running 30c and 85% humidity
 
I just made a few calls. Both my sources said between 24-28C at least 80% humidity 90-115 days. Good luck and keep us updated.

Regards, Patrick
 
Ty Patrick
These should hatch in about 3weeks if we get it right

Dropping temps now
Will keep humidity at 85c

Unbelievable afternoon
Total of 3 king cobras about 20ks apart
Many more in Bali than we believed up until yesterday

- - - Updated - - -

Just a few teasers for people who like vens
Enjoy the Kings of Bali

3 kings bagged

Who is a happy chappy? They look fairly hefty.
 
Not many places on Earth you can relocate 3 kings in one day????

So yes a big smile all round

These are all babies
Biggest was around 3 metres
Awesome snakes
 
We recently measured a skin minus the head at 4.7metres
Eddy, the guy who tracks them for us has photos of a 5.7 he was too scared of to tackle by himself
And he has loads of experience but is still in awe of that one
Bali might be the last real stronghold of kings in Indonesia
Been blown away with recent developments here
Lots more here and spread over a much bigger area than anyone has believed forever
Big snakes
 
nice work.i find with snake skins (carpets), if you find good one , measure it and divide it by 1.35, it will give you a close estimation on the size of the snake. 4.7m skin =3.48m, plus head,somewhere around 3.6m snake.
just a ballpark figure but i find it quite reliable (possibly a little different with different species and different thickness skins)
cheers

The 4.7 skin was an actual skin
It was not a shed
Minus the head because it had been shot gunned
 
I'm near Denpasar right now, saw some girls from Bali Reptile Rescue along the beach with young retics. Never held one before until now. :D
