Got a call yesterday from a guy saying he put his foot in his boot and felt something move. He didnt try to see what it was, instead he rang me, or rather, he rang the RSPCA and got my number, then asked if he could bring the boot around. Well of course I have to film it. Hope you enjoy the...

Found a new spot very close to home that seems to be a hot spot for RBBS. To visit it you have to be prepared to walk in long grass where you know there are venomous snakes residing. I'll have to visit it when it is a lot cooler, up here on the Sunny Coast RBBS are (for the most part) very shy...

Hey guys/Girls. I took this picture of a tiger snake today. :)

The support I have received with my latest patient has inspired me to start a thread for you to post your wildlife encounters. Have you got photos of animals you have rescued? Even if they were simple catch and release jobs, let us see them :D And of course I'll start it off with my two...

Well she tried to explain to the class how snakes swallow their prey whole and then spit back up the fur and bones. I tried to tell her ours def don't do that, but she was adamant that it is the way they eat. So.....I've made a nice PowerPoint presentation and will bring in one of my snakes for...

So this stupid chick was trying to tell me last night she had a albino diamond python, i seriously laughed in her face, apparently she had bought it from America to top it off, being the lovely lady i am i asked her if it was a carpet or a Darwin, nope still saying it was a diamond, then i...

If anyone has any juvenile or young adult tigers please contact via e-mail [email protected] thanks

Well after a wet and horrible past few months in southern Victoria the sun have decided to become abit more permanent, which means all the critters are starting to emerge from there long slumbers, so today i decided to go for abit of a trip to a place called 7 acre rock which was burnt badly on...

Another optical illusion and another American hero. I like his "anti-rattler" boots.

my friend sent me a pic he was told its just an albino olive but it has banding along its body anyone know what it might be ?

Hey everyone, What herps are in your area? Feel free to add pics. Thanks, James

Well iv got more new additions to my reptile family now, a friend dropped me off 4 new adult tigers and a few hatchies.. So i got bored and decided to take some pics and share them with you guys! They are all very wore down and in need of some feeds lol, all wild caught from what i know, and...

Have any of you mob come across a bhp with a light blue tail? I saw one on the Roper Hwy. I'd just got a macro lens so took a bunch of photos of it's face. It looked like a skink or gecko replacement part (the last 4" of it's tail). Do snakes regenerate lost tails ???

Found this website and thought I would share :) - The Reptiles of Australia and I so want one of those amelanistic or hypo-melanistic tiger snakes :shock: - notechis scutatus

Hi this is for school do you think the Tasmanian reptile laws should be as follows? Agamidae (Dragons) Rankinia diemensis (Mountain Dragon) Scincidae (Skinks) Acritoscincus duperreyi (Three-lined Skink) Cyclodomorphus casuarinae (She-oak Skink) (endemic) Egernia whitii (White's Skink)...

My sister lives at Engadine and was recently horrified when she walked outside onto her verandah to discover a large red belly basking in the sun, who then proceeded to climb onto her clothes horse (it would be funny if she wasn't so scared of snakes :)). There was a ladder leaning up on the...

G'day, I'm new to the forum and have been thinking about getting a Bearded Dragon.. Problem.. can I get one is Tasmania? I havent seen any ads for them in Tas so I am unsure if their legal :P

I know many herpers are also interested in native fish so I will post this video here; and it does briefly (very briefly) include a Tiger Snake! This is what happens when you take your eyes off the ball. I thought it was too hot to see snakes ( I'd given up on snakes so was filming...

Post photos of yourselves so we know who we are talking too! :lol: I like to put a face to the names!

So I just 'inquired' about elapids of any kind caring for in the ACT and apparently nope there is no rules its just a blanket not for private keepers at all... what a load of crock.. Also BHPs & Womas are considered Class 3 license, which means you need a Class 2 license (Diamond Python...

As i think back over the years ive realised the ammount of women who have been completely repelled by mine and other people i knows snake intrest/hobby has been enormous. Im sure there are plenty of guys whos marriage or relationship has been ruined by wives/girlfriends hating on snakes. I...

A tiger snake that i saw in tasmania, coudnt get a very good phto as i was in a national park and not aloud on the ground and stayed on the floor boards. Still a beautiful snake.

So since the weather has started to cool I've noticed a surprising number of these threads. I'd like to propose that we make a thread with some basic information (that could maybe be made a sticky) which can be the first point of call for anyone before they make a new thread. I'll start. Please...

Hey guys, I'm new to APS forums, so I wondered if anyone would be good enough to post pics of wild beardies that they saw in Oz, since I'm not from Australia and I would love to see wild beardies bearding their way. :D Thanks guys, you're the best if you do this for me! :) For starters I'll...

Hi I apologise - its long... I have 5 acres of tigersnake paradise (Cardup, WA) and we are about to move onto the property with 3 kids under 5. I was walking with my 1yr old and 3 yr old at the back of the property two days ago and almost stood on a very long, black tigersnake. He just sat...

Hi all- question for you. My daughter just attended a snake show with her Year 1-2 class. The company doing the show had a live, non-defanged, active and wild caught Tiger snake that they let the kids pet. The only restraint was the handler holding it behind the head. This was in a room with...

Why are there so many people selling WA snakes over east and none selling in WA? How come you guys can get our snakes but we can't have yours? Can I get one from you if its originally from here? Doubt it. I have only find a couple of reptile-only sellers from WA (minus pet shops) with very...

Sorry if this is a well-worn question but does anybody know whether this snake is an Eastern Brown or Coastal Taipan? Spotted today at the top of Mount Beerburrum in the Glasshouse Mountains on the Sunshine Coast. Not great photos but we weren't about to get any closer (spotted in the grass from...

Hi to all at Aussie Pythons & Snakes Firstly I would like to thank you for letting AaE know about all the issues that you have been experiencing and for inviting AaE on to the forum. I have read the various discussions and there is certainly a lot of confusion about what is or isn’t required...

Last night the biggest of my coastals sloughed, and had some retained skin on the side/back of the head. It was the first time this has happened, usually i might get a tail tip retained if anything, but a first on the head, so have never had to restrain a snakes head to remove it before. After a...

I'm new to all this herping stuff, but am certainly developing a deep appreciation and love for the critters. I've been checking out the amazing elapid pics and am curious - for those of you with elapids, why do you keep them? Is it for how amazing they look? Or the thrill of keeping...

A friend donked a rat, threw it in, then left to do a few things.. The result being that the rat turned out to be a Zombie, awoke from the dead and ate the Diamond Pythons brains... Let this be a lesson that feeding frozen is the only way to ensure Zombie rats do not eat our snakes brains. By...

As a snake catcher and relocator, I get to see and meet many different types of people who are having a confrontation with a reptile. It didn't take me long to figure out that the majority of people I meet are flat out scared of reptiles. If I was to extrapolate the percentages I would...

Hi guys I'm sure that I read a post on this subject before ages ago and I'm sure there are many opinions.. I would like to know if the breeders out there find it OK to breed Pythons from the same litter? From what I have read there are no defects from doing this with reptiles, and that it is...

I think there is nothing better then a good headshot of your pythons. Here's a few i've taken, feel free to add yours..........

Hay all. Just wondering what the elapid keepers out there would suggest as a good first elapid within this criteria. 1. Preferably not able to kill me. 2. Common 3. Plenty of information on the web. I'm tossing are the idea of a little whip snake, or a white crowned snake. Any advice...

is it illegal to catch and Keep Wild snakes on a basic lisence?

Have you ever had an experience that left you thinking…..sheesh that was a close one! Here is one of mine that sticks in my mind and I often think about it still. About 3 years back I was living in Jabiru and found a great fishing hole. I would not catch big fish but would always catch...

My husband and I are moving to WA, but I have just been told by Domestic Quarantine that my Bredli Python, Grinner, isn't allowed into WA. Is this right? Is there no way that I can bring my much loved pet into WA? The man on the phone told me "Well atleast you know now and have time to give him...

Hey guys. I was doing my daily check today and noticed that my male Diamond python had two large ticks around his head. To be honest, I didn't even know they could get them. I removed both of them tonight when my wife got home because I'm on crutches atm and I didn't really want to deal with it...
