In late October I saw a number of dragons in southern Eyre Peninsula whose identity isn't clear to me. The first two pictured were in Kellidie Bay Conservation Reserve (by Coffin Bay, west coast of peninsula). The latter two were in Lincoln National Park (east coast of peninsula, but not too far...
Hi All,
Not long until the Calendars will be available to buy, I am just getting the final pictures from winners and getting them all together.
I will be getting the Calendars printed in lots rather than a single bulk amount which means they should be available for you sooner as well as not...
So I'm in the process of building a snake rack, I've watched quite a few videos about them and although they all tell me about heating and all of that, none say anything about lighting. What are your opinions on lighting for a snake? Do you think they need a UVB Light?
Hi all,
Finally got around to posting this, and sorry for the crappy potato pictures
For the past few months (well a few months ago then I couldn't be bothered to finish it), I have been working on a DIY enclosure for Red, my bredli x prossie. I used Lizzie's old tank for the top (which had a...

To all experienced elapid keepers,

After 4 years in my care (putting the little fella at 8 years) it appears his journey will soon end. My first ever male Ctenophorus fionni is showing serious signs of age, he has grown so thin despite the abundance of food he has eaten and is now quite lethargic. I have moved him into a small...
Hey,
Just curious to know whether you give your Carpets more height or length, and what size do you usually give them? Making a new enclosure for my Bredli.

Hi all, I have to my to South Australia permanently for work in 2 weeks and need to take my hatchling Bredli and 2 tarantulas with me.

Hi everyone.
I guess I should start off by saying I'm new to the forum though I've been lurking about on the this site for information in the lead up to getting my first snake.
I have an 8 month old female Bredli and am fitting a couple of enclosures built into the cabinet of my 6ft fish tank...
So I just finished my first DIY enclosure.
It has been a long time in the making, I found the old TV cabinet on the side of the road many months ago and it was one of the ones with a cupboard on either side and all built as one piece it took two of us to get it in th car and home. I pulled it...
Basically, I want an update. How collections are going, herps you are seeing and wish list stuff etc.
As for me, I've got a couple of updates. Red and Lizzie are going strong, snuggly and placid as usual. Red made his first public appearance when I showed off my new cage I'm working on at a...
I always thought my next snake would be a hypo Bredli, but they never seem to be available when I'm looking and now there are several albino Darwins available in my price range I'm considering buying one.
I know the best way is to look at the parents, but even within a clutch there's a lot of...
I recently heard of a morph of bredli python called "stonewash" I've tried finding out more with little luck other than some pics. I'm wondering if someone can tell me more about this morph and if they are they available in Australia?
Hey guys, just thought I would share some pictures of a not so common occurrence.
Last year, I noticed that one of my older Spotted Pythons had developed a noticeable lump lower-body. This old girl is always extremely viscous, and suddenly I was able to handle her with my bare hands (and they...
I'm moving house more frequently than I like & moving with an enclosure is a total drag. I need to build a larger enclosure for my darwin carpet soon so I'd like to plan something that's either lightweight or else easily comes apart (& then goes back together).
I'm keen for something about 1m...

Hi guys got a male diamond he'd be about 5 years old. He has for some reason gone off the bite, shows no interest in rats, nothing has changed with his enclosure or heating. The other snake that's in there with him is fine. It would of been 5 weeks at least since his last meal and this is a...
Hi all, I have a 6 month old bredli that I picked up 2-3 weeks ago after newly returning to owning reptiles, all things seem pretty normal from what I've understood in the past... except her temperament when attempting to handle her. She was skitz yesterday but she shed overnight so I can...

Inspired by a recent thread by baker, I thought I would make a fun game called guess the reptile. I'll give you five images and you have to name the reptiles! I'll even chuck in some exotics too! Feel free to challenge people with your own ones!

Figured I would put up some photos of some snakes I own to see if we can get this plan on a roll again.
Annoyingly the uploader was not working correctly and was failing to load most of my images so most of these are old photos.

Hi all,
Just wondering what the temperament of jungle carpet pythons is? I read a few books that said that these snakes are bad tempered and aggressive. Is that true? Bite doesn't bother me. I may be a child, but I can take the pain. So what's the opinion? Is their aggressive reputation justified?
