austrelaps ramsayi

Will be up there soon. Could anyone tell me what kind of reptiles and froggies live up there? And good places to find them.

I think these beauties certainly need their own dedicated thread for everyone to centrally drool over :P So show us those beauties!

Couple quick trips, not really too much here... enjoy.. if you want more info on anything let me know. Central Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps) head detail by Nick Volpe, on Flickr Tessellated gecko (Diplodactylus tessellatus) by Nick Volpe, on Flickr Spotted Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes...

ID? Skink from Kanangra Walls, Blue Mountains. Was at Kanangra Walls recently in some fairly rough patches and found a few nice snake and lizard specimens but having trouble getting an ID on this fella. It was suggested that it was a Cunningham Skink (Egernia cunninghami) but the tail doesn't...

Hi, apologies for the poor picture quality. A friend recently showed me these pictures of a snake she photographed in a camp ground in Tumbarumba NSW. She said the snake had bright yellow ventral scales and a very distinct & defined red lateral stripe. 1m + in length. I only have Cogger to ID...

So I thought I'd post a thread sharing some of my photo's from this years sightings. I've been able to find a whole heap of new species for me in my local area, a rather broad definition of the word 'local' too. I will start with reptiles from the newcastle-central coast vicinity... Red belly...

Did anyone else see the segment interviewing a the female Voice contestant at her home handing the interviewer a corn snake on A Current Affair ??? She would not have a licence and/or know that the corn is Illegal LOL !!!!

I've just returned from a two-night trip to Kosciuszko National Park. I visited the area to try and find a few of the alpine reptiles and butterflies that I had not yet seen. Most of my time was spent in the Charlotte Pass area along the summit walk to Mt. Kosciuszko. The weather was mostly...

Hi all, Last november, I've encountered several snakes. Could you please help me identify these creatures? I tried to catch them on camera. Not all of the pictures are showing the entire snake, but I hope it's clear enough to analyze. Myself I thought that these are 1. Eastern Brown, 2...

Hi guys, Can anyone identify this snake spotted at Bindaree Falls in the Victorian Highlands? Apparently it was 1.2m-1.5m long and a "reddish, coppery colour" with very distinct black banding. The description suggests Tiger Snake to me, whereas the location suggests Highlands Copperhead...

Killed by dogs in Lithgow nsw. Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk

My apologies for anyone who has already seen this post from Field Herp Forum but I thought I would include it here too.... I have finally got time to sit down and do a write-up of a trip me, my girlfriend and friends and family members did in October. It was a combination of business, pleasure...

This was located on the property of a guy I work with. Sorry about the poor photos but he was too scared to get any closer. He lives in Meadowflat which I’m led to believe is about halfway between Lithgow and Bathurst. Based on location and the shape of the head (what you can see of it), my...

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 thought I would share some photos of some of the snakes that I have encountered over the last couple of years whilst herping. Unfortunately I haven't managed to photograph everything that I have seen though.. yet there are still a lot of species left to tick off! Some of the pictures have...

Hi I recently saw this snake in the Blue Mountains of NSW. It was a decent sized snake, brown in colour and had orange-ish diamonds on it's side? Does anyone know what breed it is and if so anything about it, i.e poisonous? I have attached a photo, but it's not that great! Cheers Dingo Dan;)

We found this little guy stuck in one of those horrible sticky pest traps they have installed at work. no one was interested in helping us as it was friday night, so i have taken it on myself to research and care for it till all the goo is gone. It has smooth fine scales, olive green from head...

Is this little critter a white lip? or something else? Was only about 50cm long..

Hello all, I will start off with a word of warning. Most of the following shots are of non-herps! Last weekend, I headed south to Canberra to visit my son. He had to work until about 2pm so I spent the morning on Mt. Ainslie, a small hill on the edge of town. This was a great place for...

Hay guys. Mate of mine bred this.. Have a guess at what it is.

Hey guys, Some of my mates came across this fella while hunting in the Vulcan Forest South of Oberon. Any ideas?

A guy on another forum made these disparaging remarks about our elapids. His comment was: I decided to reply and thought that some of you would enjoy these pics as well. I am sure that you will agree that we have plenty of brilliantly coloured snakes that are various shades of olive...

This is from teh southern highlands and was saved from a dog and relised back in bush the person wants to know what it was and i have no idea when it comes to anything other than pythons

Yeah i know you guys must get jack of this but... we were out for a bush BBQ yesterday and on our way home we saw this bloke on the dirt road it was between Jerrangle and Captin's Flat near the ACT.He was about 3 and hald-4 foot long. He was fairly docile as hubby took pics from a safe distance...

Hiya, This has been basking in the sun in a neighbours garden for a couple of days........ It's about 1.2-1.5m long in Blue Mountains. Wondering what it is ? Thanks Keith

Today i got my return import license that was approved , my application was for 2 (austrelaps superbus) , they changed my import license to 2 austrelaps ramsayi , i gave them a call about this as i thought they had made a computer error , and did not want something listed on my fauna record...

Hi there guys, I found this little feller a couple of days ago. He was found near Katoomba, and was extremely shy. I am pretty certain about what he is, but would like some other opinions. Thanks in advance

Instead of the usually fire works or getting blind drunk at a music festival I was lucky enough to spend my new years up at Falls Creek in the Victorian high country. We spent a week trapping for small mammals, bats and reptiles and with plenty of keen naturalists there was always someone...

last weekend (fri 2/11/07 - sun 4/11/07) i went camping and on the way home we saw a couple of snakes basking on the dirt road. most i could identify except for this one which i thought was a brown snake at first but then i saw that it had a yellow underside. i am just wondering out of curiosity...

Hi Guys I am after some ideas for a research project to do through uni. unit outline as specified below: This unit provides students the opportunity to undertake a mini-research project or independent reading in an area of interest upon agreement of potential supervisor(s) and the approval of...

Went away to the Blue Mountains for 2 weeks and unfortunately came across these two specimens along the roadside whilst walking to the pools. The only live things I saw were two skinks (which I unsuccesfully identified due to the large number of skinks that looked the same to me in my...

im a member of another unsnake related site and this snake was posted on it, any idea of breed? for more pics etc visit http://www.bowhunter.com.au/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=675

Sssssnakeman and his partner were kind enough to let Misky and I join them to release a copperhead they'd been called to relocate in the South-East suburbs of Melbourne. It took a while to find the right spot for him, nice and away from people/buildings/roads/etc, but he soon shot off to enjoy...

Different Sp. of pythons are there? Or rather how many different Pythons i.e Morelia Spilota Chenyei and Morelia Spilota McDowelli count as two not one. Obviously not including morphs, also say scrubs for example they come from different parts like the tanimbar, and halmahera and Moluccan...
