I picked this little fella up last night. What a snake. Very different to what I have seen or held before. Very placid and relaxed. Happy to curl around your arm/wrist and hang there. Does not strike or have any issues with being hand collected from the tank.
Very beautiful speciman...and OMG...
Due to these snakes being classified as Venomous....are you able to own them on a stand QLD Recreation Reptile Licence or are there special requirements?
Hi can anyone identfy this snake. I live in Tuntable Creek near lismore NSW on acreage. I find a lot of python skins at my place but this is the first one i've found without markings. It was up in the support beams of my balcony quite high off the ground. it's about 1.5m long and i can count 19...
thought i might show you what i caught yesterday.........a carpentaria snake, we (me and the local snakecatcher who i go catching with) spent about 2-3 hours checking him/her out and calling some herp friends to see him/her since they only are seen or caught every few years where i live so this...
Hey guys just thought I would share some pics of my new Brown tree snake / or night tiger ... not really sure if he/she is classified as a night tiger .. so some input would be great .... got him/her at a prety sweet price and I couldnt refuse.
Hope ya'll like and feel free to comment still no...
Late night callout netted this guy from a lounge room. Depth of field leaves a lot to be desired but you can still see its a speccy animal. She wanted to rip my nads off too!
Several months ago I was doing the normal morning rounds of rodent cages before I went to work (back then I had some mice now I only have the rats) as I was emptying old food and replacing new food, topping up water etc I noticed that my mummy cage was a little quiet....
To my surprise a...
A friend saw this snake inland at Dingo Tops NSW in a creek. It didn't appear aggressive even though they nearly stood on it. They described it as striped full length. The picture seems to show large eyes. Distribution maps I have suggest tiger snakes come this far down, but rough-scales and...
Hi all. I am new around here and very much appreciate the vast knowledge and experience found here from you all. I have a question for you guys... (and given that I couldn't find it listed in the other forum posts about snake myths, I'd like to hit you guys up for an expert answer)
A friend of...
well the local male female Darwin have breed this year again :)
found this little fella in me bird cages might have to use some vermin mesh to keep them out.
Ok so I went herping with Stephen around Coffs harbour and north of it. I had a great time and found many new species which pleased me. The last few shots are from around the hunter valley after we came back. The quality of my shots will vary because I was borrowing different equipment at...

Thank you :)

Hey guys,
A friend of mine put a few pics up on Facebook of a snake that she found and killed, up in the town of Sarina North Queensland. I put my opinion forward that it is a Brown Tree Snake (Boiga Irregularis) but apparently the fact that google says the locality is different and the pattern...
Hey every one,
Some of you may already know from my other thread but i'm the proud new dad of a Brown tree snake night tiger Who i have named Scar.

Hi I have an unsexed excess brown tree snake that I am wanting to swap.
It is about 4 years of age and brighly coloured,
It doesnt get handled often, so quiet nervous when you approach it, but in all a lovely noctural display animal, eating day old quails.
wanting to swap for either elapids or...
Hi Guys and Gals,
I am after a Brown Banded Tree Snake (Night Tiger, Boiga Irregularis) preferably female and of any age. I currently have a male and would like to try and breed the two down the track. I am in the NT, but will pay for freight from anywhere and before you ask, I have the correct...
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...
Yep - 100% sure its a crappy photo, but can you ID the snake within?
This is what you get if you are a relocator, you get to sent photos of this quality or less.
I have already told the person what I think it is but like people to confirm, please.
From Buderim, Sunshine coast taken a couple...
Hey all,
My partner is studying to be a vet, has a degree in Animal Science and has done venomous snake handling courses. I am just a lowly python herder. . We have discussed building an aussie animal display which will include, among other things, venemous snakes. Does anyone...
Hey guys!
Last year I had the first italian captive birth of Brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis)..

I obtained this from two imported examples from Sulawesi.
For a long time I looked for other specimens of this specie but NOBODY in my country (and beyond) can get them...

Hi I was just checking my emails and a mate had sent me this link and asked how they have legally exported roughies out of aus? Does anyone know? Here's the link
UK Pythons - Investment quality pythons direct from the breeder!
Has anyone done this or know someone who has? I satisfy all of the requirements according to the advanced application and there is no mention of having to have R2 first but just don't want to waste my time getting my referees to write me references and put together the whole application if you...
Just a discussion topic for my own curiosity and to hear from some more experienced herp guys. Does anyone regularly find hatchlings of any type in the wild? My whole life I have only once come across a hatchling. It was a diamond on a rock face in the bush at about midnight. It's the only...
When i mention to people we have a female snake catcher they always seem surprised, little do they know woman handle snakes better than most of the men!! Would like to see some pics of lovely ladies holding their snakes, heres a friend of mine holding my Coastal "fluffy"
It's 5.05am and I have just returned from the local cat house who have paid me for services rendered. At first I thought the call was from an Victorian ex-demonstrator who had previously accused me of making a false early morning call but it was the real deal, the girls were cleaning up after a...
Here is another snake I have no idea. Was very quick moving and slender about 1 1/2m long. Would like to learn more about snakes can anyone identify?
Thank you!
Hi, I'm new to this site and I'm hoping to learn some more about the myriad of snake species on my new property. This cute little guy I found today. I assume it's a python, but I know little to nothing about snakes other than I like them.
Can any one help me with advice to keep this guy around...
G'day everyone,
I have a Queensland 'Standard' Recreational Licence, I have been looking on the net and have found nothing so far.
So I thought I would ask on here.
I am looking at a Brown Tree Snake and being Mildly venomous I am unsure if I am aloud to have one one the Queensland Recreational...
