Have a friend who wants to move to a tropical Australian city or town and live their permanently. So I was just curious as to which are the best tropical australia cities to live in? Try to factor in crime, price, closeness to wildlife/national parks, etc.. Any help or imput would be...

We had another croc shot just over the fence from school at recess time today. This one is smaller than the others but was the first of the 4 or so that have been shot to be recovered. Boy was it an interesting morning!!! I might be able to get some better pics later. The skull has...

I just love the look, size and temperament of the Ball Python. Is there a petition we can organise and sign to send to the government to have an exception on this species?? I can't be the only one that wants one.

what are the 3 largest pythons in Australia that you could keep on NSW class 1 liceencea and aprrox what size they grow thanks

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...

This will be an interesting baby as the mother is Golden whilst 2 males were rotated, one being a blue and the other a black.. Will update with photo's..

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...

I was thinking last night about some locality animals i have seen for sale in the past, while i'm sure some have came from legal sources i'm sure alot of them dont (mainly talking about QLD here). Its not hard for someone to have a pair of carpet pythons, find a nice forma locally and write them...

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

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...

Went out for a bit of a looky last night, all up about 45 mins driving and taking pictures. One of them got me very excited! Young banded tree snake. Hatchling water python Lovely big BHP Burtons (these always turn up in the exact same spot, makes for easy herping :P)...

so im breeding bredlis next season how do i start to do it and what are the problems that come with breeding???

I came across this in a book and am wondering if anyone knows what species of carpet python a 'sandhill carpet python' is. Thanks!

We went through the lists [members] last night and found 32 but its probably a lot more than that. Experienced herpers who haven't been on this site for a fair while and the general consensus of opinion is this is a "herp" forum/site which is great but in recent months it appears to be...

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...

Any news or updates on the Oenpelli python? I thoroughly enjoyed the last thread and vigorous discussion regarding this mysterious snake, it's habitat, feeding habits and vulnerability. I can't wait for some of the big players out there to get hold of some animals and breed them, thus ensuring...

Hey Guys, was reading a monitor book in the library and came across a picture of an Emerald Tree Monitor. it says it was mainly distributed in PNG but could be found in islands within the Torres strait and cape York peninsular QLD. They look absoloutly amazing and I was wondering if they...

We're having an ongoing trivial dispute - it's tearing our family apart... What is the difference between Native and Endemic (incidentally, my answer was correct, of course....). Rather than to bias the discussion - place what you know... And any other trivial disputes you'd like solved...

Quantity Available lots General Description Green fake grass, varied lengths For folks in Darwin only. If you're keen on getting some send me a PM by tomorrow midday. Location Oenpelli! But i will be in Darwin next week and will bring as much as folks have requested with me. You need...

Hey Guys Just a interesting topic i thought i would bring up. doing a bit of reading on Oenpelli Pythons,now a few sites and books state they are able to "Change colors like a chameleon" as one article puts it .....has this ever been proven,with film or video... As i have had experience of...

I have not had anything to do with BHP's and have previously only seen juveniles. Well I saw an adult the other day and was very surprised at how big it was.....it was a lot longer and thicker than i imagined they would be. I thought to myself "that is actually a big snake". I know a lot of...

This little fella turned up a few houses doors down from me at a colleagues house. We really do get some strage things turning up in downtown Oenpelli. :lol:

i had a great day, scored some books cheap & took a few pics.. here ya go..

Hi there everyone just wanted to say hello I have just found this forum and have been reading a few of the post's on the forum and think it is very well set up and yer I guess would be a good place to find like minded people who love Australia's reptile's as much as I do. I can't say that I...

Hey all- I've recently been offered a nothern territory rock python (liasis oenpelliensis) Haven't seen any aound and just wondered if anyone here kept/bred/knew anything about them..

whats the story with them, APPARENTLY there on the list of things we can have, but i don't think i've heard of any one in Aus keeping/breeding them. are there any getting around? . will they become more popular/easy to get in the near future

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...

Hey guys I guess the subject speaks for itself but I am just as to which species actually grows the largest. I am assuming it would be the Olive or Amethystine...?

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...

This is some of the stuff i've found over the past few weeks and had a camera handy for. Keelback Another keelback that i pulled off the road, was one of the biggest i've seen but is apparently about the average size for out here. A gwardar. It's in a maggot filled bin...

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...

Hey guys, Rules: Yes or no questions only Whoever wins does the next one

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...

Hi guys, Just some pics from my trek across the NT this past month looking for some frog species I haven't seen before. It was a fairly successful trip with 19 new ones in all - unfortunately I was a bit late following the rains in the desert so I missed out on most of the frogs of the arid...

I am beckoming absolutly obssesed with this beautiful and big snake. since you can get two of the three giant aussie snakes (olive scrub and oenpelli), are you allowed to get an oenpelli?

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.

Looking to buy some OENPELLI Pythons. will take any age and size.

Hey guys, was just wondering if its possible to keep a stimsons python and a rough scaled python in the same encloser. i already have a stimsons python about 60cm long and was thinking of getting a rough scaled python...if not i guess ill just have to buy another cage cheers

hi just wondering which carpet python grows the quickest.:)

I was bored so i thought i would see the popularity of pythons in captivity, what is you favourite?

As much as this makes look incompetent with my snakes, an idiot and any other flaming name I probably deserve, I am posting this, hoping to be a thread newbies & youngsters will take notice of. Learn by my mistake rather than finding out for yourself that there is no safe method to hand-feeding...

Saw these in a thread, they look like a giant antaresia

I know everyone is going to have their own opinion but it will be interesting to see what answers we get.
