Did a short herp drive with Fuscus last night in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Unfortunately his camera decided to pack it in very early in the evening so I thought I would post a couple of photo's for you mate. It wasn't a bad night - Numerous frogs most of which eluded us on the narrow...

After falling in love with my first spotted python, am now considering getting another snake. So whats a good 2nd snake to get? Was considering a diamond python or green tree python?

I bought a darwin x jungle from you over 3 weeks ago and when I got him I was told he was due to feed. Every week since I got him I've been offering food and cannot get him to eat! He won't even strike and I'm at a bit of a loss at what to do. I've even offered different sized rats/mice and...

Well like the title says how did you find APS :) Me first: I had just got my reptile licence and was looking for a jungle python, I did a search for jungle pythons for sale and the APS for sale form came up as one of the result. I then joined up and am having the time of my life and now have a...

Hay guys how are you all doing. Some of you may remember me being a fairly regular member in this site, however due to some personal issues I dropped off the radar for a while there. Anyway I'm back now and have noticed I've missed alot In the herp world, last time I was in the loop rough...

ok this would of grabbed some attention im assuming lol,now i was just wondering if it was possible (and if any) to put a jag(rpm) over a roughie and then put that offspring over a gtp? i no alot of people may get mad seeing this but its interesting and i think it would make quite an amazing out...

Hi guys, i know you must get sick of newbies but i wont be one forever so i'd appreciate advice from those who know what your talkin about. Im interested in getting my first snake, this isnt an impulse buy ive been interested for a couple years now. I want to do alot of research before i make...

i was looking into some high end animals and was wondering does anyone kno what was the most expensive snake ever sold in Australia not like, say, the reptile park geting king cobras or a zoo getting a burmese, just aussie snakes or morphs so, anyone know this bit of info? just curious myself :)

Yesterday I adopted my very first python :D I have named her Lailah She is a Tanami Python, Bread by Buck (thanks again :)), hatched 5/12/10 Not sure of her size yet. I am yet to take her out of the enclosure for two reasons... A) I want to let her settle for a bit, B) She moves so fast and it...

the title explains it all. what would you consider the most placid australian snake?

My partner loves snakes and wants to get an NT Albino Carpet Python, I am scared of snakes and afraid from all the research I've done that any snake is a master of escape. Is the NT Albino Carpet Python ok for someone who has never had a snake before ??

Went to the Australian reptile park. Got picked out to go in the snake pit. The guy threw an alligator at me then I had to kiss some kind of lizard then I hand to hold the burmese python, anaconda and the salt water crocs lid on while sitting on a hot rock. I can now tell people someone has...

Hello, I have been looking into getting a first snake. I already have a beardrd dragon on the way so I know im going to need a basic licence to keep both which I will get before purchasing my snake. I am after a small, docile python. Im thinking either a stimsons or a pygmy. Have the pygmy...

This was another unexpected buy... usually happens that way! I'd just gone into the shop to buy a hide for one of my snakes, and saw that they had a water python... it said on the front of the tank that it was sold, so I didn't worry about it. I then started talking to one of the staff members...

found on Fraser Island.

I've noticed a rather large stint in the Prices of Rough-Scaled Pythons over the last 6 months or so. Is there any particular reason for this? Or is it just because they've lost their veneer as 'the new snake on the block' a little? Or, because they're now more abundant in captivity? I...

I am starting this thread (and have hopes it kicks off) as I am very interested to see the range of answers to... IF YOU COULD... ONLY.... KEEP ONE SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN NATIVE REPTILE, WHAT WOULD THAT REPTILE BE? and if it is applicable and you would like to add... WHAT MORPH OR LOCALITY...

I have a few questions, if you don't mind. My girl (a yearling Stimson) took her first feed with me last night (the last meal she ate was with Snake Ranch on 23rd Nov). Last night she had a baby quail and I was just so happy to see her take something! It took quite a few strikes and...

Thought Id make a thread for snake catchers to show off their rescued / relocated venomous snakes. Me 1st

Hi, Can anyone assinst in identifying a couple of skins that I found in out shed yesterday while cleaning up? We live on the Eastern Coast of Central Queensland & have seen both browns & pythons over the past few years due to chook coops & bird averies. The shed that the skins were found in has...

I didn't want to steal another thread (where do they came from) but the last few posts raised some questions and thoughts. What conservation value do captive reptiles have? They can never be released to the wild (not the ones we keep and breed anyway), so how are we contributing to...

Hey there... as the subject suggests I am a newbie I obtained my licence 6 months ago but have only got around to organising a pet snake for myself now :) After much.. MUCH research I am pretty sure I have decided on a Woma... The docile/easy feeding/curious nature appeals to me (and my 4 year...

Last time I identified a rough scaled snake as a keelback so I thought I'd check what you think.

...really. These little guys are great to keep!

Hey guys, I absolutely love this species, in my opinion it's very underrated and is a gem in our herp culture. You can keep Greens, Albinos, Jags... but this is the one that always catches my eye for some reason, it has so much personality and it's so surreal. I wanted to see more of it...

Last week i was made look an absolute fool by mistaking an escarpment childrens python for an oenpelli :P. They look a bit different to a normal phase childrens and apparently the mistake isn't that uncommon, doesn't make it any less embarrassing though. They don't grow quite as large as the...

g'day everyone, I just joined this forum in the hope of trying to identify a snake I found in my front garden, Northern Beaches in Sydney. It's not the best photo as the snake was hidden under rocks. It's approx a foot long, maybe a fraction longer so only a young one. When I first came...

Hi people I am new I have been reading on aps for months but decided to register today

well i recently discovered that i have some tallent for customizing "my little ponies" and so i decided that hay, why not make one themed after one of my pythons?, well i did!, and now i am going to show it to you, it might not be every ones cup of tea, but i enjoy making them, and i might...

First of all - if anybody thinks this thread is "pointless" please post somewhere else and leave this thread alone. I know it is a little pointless but I'm just curious of peoples opinions. Sorry :P What do you think is the most beautiful python? IMO Scrubbies win. I know GTP's are pretty and...

Gday everyone i have been reading a bit and it seems the time to swap to less than 24hr heating for small snakes differs a bit i live in western nsw and its already 30+ days and house gradient of 24c (27 28ish in herp room cause im waiting for ducted air to be installed next year sometime) my md...

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.

Just need to know if rough scaled pythons are a 'restricted' listed species in Queensland. Cheers

Hey, So i went on a study break today and went out looking for animals and lifted up a rock near one of the water holes and there was 8 keel backs. i never knew they did this. well the pound they were near was filled with cane toad tadpoles say 2-3 weeks ago and now there is hardly many and...

I'm moving up to Queensland with my collection and need to know a few things from the locals regarding reptile legislation. 1. What type of permit will I need to apply for to keep my woma and rough scaled pythons (I understand woma pythons are classed differently up there). 2. I'm on a...

Did anyone see the ABC 7.30 Report last night - the story on the DNA profiling being done by DEC in WA? It had footage of the 'good guys' up trees sampling DNA from Black Cockatoos, holding snakes and swabbing their mouths, and rifling through people's enclosures with torches etc... I have no...
