Show off your uncommonly kept or rare herps, or rare/interesting things you have found. Pics are wanted, but if you can give me evidence of rare stuff you have seen without pics then that is OK too. One of mine (well, my brother found it): Masked rock skink (Liopholis margaretae margaretae)...

I went on a cruise with my family a little while ago (it's okay, we all made it back, surprisingly) We went to New Caledonia. The highlight of the trip for me (aside from coming home:)) was while snorkelling off one of the islands (Lifou) I found what I think was some kind of sea snake...

I am not that versed in what I assume are Latin names for snakes and lizards and after reading replies to some posts over the last few years I felt it would be a good question. Why do some people tend to use Latin names when replying to posts that have been using common names, eg: rattling off 8...

I recently joined Gus up north to the Tully area to assist him with his masters project, which involves tracking the endangered rainforest frog Litoria rheocola. His site was near Mena Creek in a patch of secondary rainforest. I first spent time at the site in August 2008 while assisting another...

Hi, I posted a message way back about sea snakes in Australia. I was recently fortunate to run a WWF expedition to the Montara oil spill and swotted up on sea snakes before going. Lucky too, as we saw dozens and densities in some parts of the Sahul Banks was much higher than 30 per square...

Thought I'd post some pics of a Yellow Bellied Sea Snake that I got called to release a few weeks back.. After spending 24 hours in a bucket of fresh water with some salt added I didn't hold much hope for him, he was hardly moving and looked rather drab by the time he got to me, but rapidly came...

I was recently having a discussion with mate about the top 10 most dangerous snakes in the world, he does not think Australia is home to more than half of the top10. so can anyone name the top 10 most dangerous snakes in the world?

Hola! I'm having mates over and they have been watered & fed and we were discussing this site. My friends, one South African who's dealt with snakes in Transvaal, one Kenyan who works in a pet store that once sold rats to Tara Moss and an Englishman who has "come across snakes in either food...

OK - tell us about the first time you met a particular herp species. Any species preferbly an unusual one. I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours. Me and a Olive :twisted: IN the early 80s, way before I kept herps, I was diving in Harvey Bay in about 3 meters of water off the...

What is your scariest ever reptile experience? Mine was when i found 2 young eatern browns under a rock at a friends house and my friend called his dad who promptly grabbed a stick and started whacking at them. I quickly stopped him and decided that i would catch them and give them to WIRES...

I will try to run trivia in forum now. every evening after 7 pm i will put question to our members in this forum. First correct answer will get the point. I know that people will be lucky to get the question first but it is just fun and please do not take this to seriously. First question...
