Anyone interested in Donald doing a talk at a Herp Society meeting in Sydney some time in March or April? I have been talking to him and there is a strong possibility that he is in Australia one of these months and would like to hold a talk.
Took some photos in 10 minutes I had spare today as well as some from other days. Just a very small selection of what we use for displays and talks

After taking a pic of a little frog this morning I decided to go for a walk in the backyard to see what was about......The results....A lovely Brown Tree Snake two Green Tree Frogs and a lovely big brown frog but I just don't know what it is but if anybody out there wants it .......it is yours
Would a Dendrelaphis punctulata be a good beginner snake?
Not that I'm saying that I definitely will buy it, I'll do research, then have it in mind for when the time comes.
Can you please tell me what this is? I was thinking Eastern Brown but he isn't cranky enough and the white flecks in it look tree snakish. So I am confused as to what this little guy really is.
Heyy, im going for a walk soon into the bush. I live in sydney just south of the central coast. I want to know where to look for them and how to find them. I am going where there is a small stream that in some spots goes into a small pool.
Im not taking any from the bush to keep by the way...
Can someone please explain to me why WA is so backwards with everything reptiles. I love WA as a whole but I think CALM are set on making things difficult for the hobbiest that only wants to have a basic collection.

Hi All, Is this little fellow a Brown Tree Snake? A friend of mine is using this as his profile picture on facebook so I don't know what part of the country the picture was taken.
I thought I'd have some fun and post some shots of a snake i recently caught and see who can ID it first.
For the newbs, so you hard core seasoned herps with venom in your veins keep it to yourself eh!
ok first photo
will put another one up tomorrow!
My wife isnt exactly into reptile, she loves the way they make me feel and she sees my passion, and im sure she respects that... But to her, the more snakes i bring home, the more room in the house she looses, another power point she looses, more time i will spend away from her. more money, well...

Hi
Here are a few more shots of the python which appeared on our front porch the other night (we live on 150 acres so no surprises really!) she is currently in our icecream tree so thought I would post a few pics for those interested. She is pretty big and lovely colours, but I'm new to...
Hi all, I've just joined. After hunting the net for the past few weeks looking up different snakes that we have seen on our new property I thought it wise to join a knowledgable group!!

Hi guys,
When Gigantor - the biggest Common Tree Snake any of my group of friends have ever seen - mistook my finger for a fish, I decided to take advantage of the situation. Rather than encourage her to let go of my finger as soon as possible (after taking photos of course), I decided to...
Hey guys,
Ive been wanting a colubrid for quite a while now, not saying im getting one just yet but trying to make up my mind on which one to go for.
Im tossing up between a brown tree snake and a common tree snake. I had my mind pretty much 100% made up a few weeks ago on the common tree snake...

hey I was look at getting a brown tree snake, some time in the future and was wondering if some one owners could tell me what they're like, eg are they good feeders, easy to keep, etc.
also can I keep them on my standard licence in qld.
cheers Damo
I was up early today playing with some snakes :D
So took some pics.. I really really like these two - Two of my fav snakes I own :)
The Browner one is a "southern form" and the orange one apparently a northen form - she seems to have gotten more orange in the last few years.
Seeing it was such a beautiful day today I thought I would take a few of the snakes out in the sun for a cruise around and snap a few pictures whilst they enjoyed the sunshine :)
Salutations forumites,

Hi all,
Sadly we found this guy on the road outside our house tonight and he had been hit in a number of spots by a car :(
Any idea what he is? i was thinking brown tree snake?

Well the day started like this, I was in bed just awake around 10 :30 and next minute my mum comes running in and says there's a cobra so anyway i go out in my pj's and find that its a green tree snake.
So anyway its like 20 mtrs from the house and so i caught it and took it way down the back...

Not to cause a stir, but why aren't we allowed exotics or unnative reptiles in aus, but the US (for example) are allowed OUR natives, which would mean they are exotics over there...? It doesn't make sense and isn't fair, but then again not a lot is
