morelia carinata

This is a variegata with an ancestry from the Gregory River region in the Gulf of Carpetaria. Check out how Hyper-melanistic it is!

All hyped up from the expo still, i've been trying to construct my ideal managerie of snakes in my head... It really got me thinking - I want to know what the snake lover's ideal snake is. What would be your ultimate fantasy in snake or python ownership? (When i say fantasy i don't mean you...

Google didn't cut it, so I'm asking the true experts here ;). How many species of native python does Australia have? We had a lecturer in last week who claimed 16, but I got more than that off the top of my head, and then less if I didn't count subspecies. I don't doubt him, but I was...

Not to be missed. Michael Duncan will be talking on Rough Scaled Pythons. This is the first time we have had someone talking on these pythons. Meeting is at 7.00pm Fairy Meadow Community Centre Guest Park Princes Highway (Opposite Woolworths) Cnr Cambridge Ave Fairy Meadow

I found this little guy on my patio. Is it a keelback?

Who's going to the show tomorrow? Can't wait! Long drive ahead of us in the morning but we'll be there!

Bligh says we should have a referendum on the subject... what do you say?

I've been herping the Sunshine Coast area of Queensland on and off for several years, and have found almost all snake and larger lizard species. Enough to show this comprehensive photo library of the reptiles I have seen. Here's the snakes.. The coast is home to around 21 different species...

Whilst I'm not considering getting any soon, I am curious as to what venomous people started put on and reasons why? And what are considered more advanced vens?

Ok, so I was talking to a mate of mine and flicking through the elapid thread, and it got me wondering, how many female ven keepers are actually out there? That actually own them on their license and not just their other halves owning them etc...? And got into keeping hots, on their own accord...

Hey All, Had 4 snakes shed last night and a few more due to shed any day now. They all seem to be in time with each other at the moment! So here are some pics..... A little woma, a RSP, a bigger woma, and a little childreni Cheers, Dave

Okay so as stated I was just playing a game of hide and seek with my woma. He eats weaner rats but I got a load of pinkie mice so I just hid a few and watched he took forever to find the first one looked like he was happy enough to just eat me. He finally found it and after that I showed him...

I found it interesting in what type of anti vens are used for different species .... Immunotype Treatment of snakebite in a clinical setting depends in part on the immunotype to which the speces belongs. The Snake Venom Detection Kit (SVDK) helps with determining this information...

Hey everyone! Whats does everyone think will be the next big thing in the snake world... Have GTPS :D Looking at buying albino darwins ATM :) But everything seems to be big for awhile then drops away when lots of people start owning them and the rush to own one dies down and so does the...

Just thought i'd post some pics of my new enclosure i'm building. Its 2200w x 2000h x 900d. It has a glass divider down the middle so it is actually 2 enclosures. The background i'm making will continue through both enclosures making it look like one rock wall. I just put on the first coat of...

Ok, every single snake person on this site is going to hate me for posting this question, but I can't seem to find any reasonable answers by just looking. So here goes - What's the difference between scrubbies, diamonds, coastals, carpets, and spotteds, besides location? See, I knew you would...

hey guys, just seeing what your favourite australian PYTHON is. please vote your favourite python on the poll and if you want you can even post your reason for liking it so much. thanks

As of recent... cough cough... Andy Scott... cough It has been said by our US counterparts that Hoovabator style incubators are the exception in this hobby we all share. Personally for a number of years I have incubated everything from elapids, geckos, dragons, GTP's, RSP's and albinos...

Hello APS Just hoping someone on here can help me out. I'm trying to find some good photos of the Rough Scaled Python enclosure from ARP. I just built a new enclosure and am going to get a background made but i'm pretty specific in what i want and was hoping to show the guy a photo so he would...

Well I was browsing the URS website (looking for new heating equipment for winter) and I noticed that their GTP's are only $1400! So is this the trend? are we going to see our expensive herps drop in price like a ton of bricks been thrown out the Empire state building? Sure it's great for...

Why Do Snakes Get Darker Near Their Tails? :) Thanks The Spudd

Some herps found over two nights recently. Unfortunately not all animals could be photographed. Despite it being a herping trip, I reckon the Dingo's were the highlight! Love 'em. (no photo's) Rough Scaled Bandy with irregular blotch Washed out, blurry pics of a Golden Crowned...

hey everyone, Just wondering if anybody can help me out on these 2 snakes for ID, unfortunetly it was too late for one. they were both found in south east QLD.

Well I think its very straight forward. Am posting this for someone on a photo forum, with their permission. This snake was photographed in Lamington National Park in Qld. Can you identify it AND give your reasons as why it is not a very similar snake. Some tourists identified it as a...

Not sure if this had already been posted or not. quite disturbing to listen to. I hate all these people that keep monkeys/ chimps as pets :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgS0KgT5APc http://www.watoday.com.au/world/woman-attacked-by-chimp-reveals-face-on-oprah-20091112-iasz.html

Just wondering if anyone knew what this baby snake is? Located in North Brisbane. Thanks, Krystal :D

was thinking today, what species have documented twins? i know olives and now chrondos, but what others have had twins? and what sort of twins are more common in herps Siamese ( the embreo splits in 2) or the other kind (2 embryos in the one egg) and always welcome pics of twins!,

Can't believe I found this fella nearby. I know no one has lost one around here, but nature can play along too by the looks of things. Definately not going to let this one go, too valuable.

Hi, My dad is curious of what are the top 5 most expensive Aussie(Class 1) Pythons or Non-Venemous species?

Howdy everyone happy Australia day. I havnt been on the sight for a bt but any way,ive been looking round a bit for Rough scaled Pythons just to check out the general price range an i have only been able to find one supplier wichy is Snake Ranchtheirs are currently going for 1500 ea.I know there...

Well why not have a thread for single herpers looking for the like minded? If you are single looking for that special herper in your life, make a comment here and then PM someone that peaks your intrest. Never know could end up with an APS wedding ;) P.S. I'm single.

Albino's, last year some we're going for 5000 a hatchling, this year i see them going for as low as 2000 what are they going to go down to next year? Do you think they will hit a happy medium and keep value or will they end up like the common murray darling and end up going for 100 or so dollars...

What is (in your own opinions, this is just to get an idea) the most placid snake? i hear all the time, jungles, waters and scrubbies etc are bitey and etc etc etc, but what about the other end of the stick? what are some naturally fairly chilled snakes?

Hi all. My stimmo who turned one on the 4th of december has really outgrown his 15L storage tub. I would have got him a larger one a long time ago but im having trouble finding ones that seal well around the lid. i have found ones that are plenty big enough, but when you close them there is too...

just read the latest scales and tales and there was a small section that talked about the fact that the broard headed snake has only just recently had a captive breeding program started, and there are only 4 breeding pairs in captivity. Was interested in this as on sunday i saw what i think was...

What are peoples thoughts on the way GTP's are going, they are getting cheaper by the day. Do people prefer aussies, international or morphs. Im just curious on what others thinks.

Hey guys Im new to the forum so i thought id get a quick hello out there! I previously owned a Brown South African House Snake back in 1999 (give or take) but just recently found my dream snake, the Rough Scaled Python! what a beaut! If you have any news to share on this breed it would be much...

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...

If you do not intend to buy an animal that has been advertised, " DO NOT RESPOND TO THE AD". If you do not want to pay the advertised price, " DO NOT RESPOND TO THE AD". You are a major draw back to this hobby taking off. If you do not think the animal is worth the advertised price, you are...

As long as we're breeding rats for snakes, we figure we might as well enjoy it, and since the snakes don't care about colours or patterns, I have a bit of fun choosing the unusual ones. We have lots of different colours too, as well as some pretty cool 'pattern...

hey guys im kinda bored so thought i would get a photo for you to guess what it is :D
