notechis scutatus

Hey guys. Just something i was wondering for a while, if you were going bushwalking and saw a snake close by, and it looked like it was about to strike what do you do to avoid the bite and not harm the snake at the same time as i heard running from some snakes doesnt work/help at times. A noob...

Got a call to go to local petshop. This tiger snake had a sticky insect trap stuck to his head when he entered the shop and surprized the customers and taff. A bit of machine oil got him off and he was released into bush on the Mornington Peninsula..

Whats going on with python prices? BHP's $300, Coastals $50, Stripped Coastals $80! Not even 12 months ago these prices were unheard of. Are we really getting to the stage of over breeding, as much as this industry is growing the supply and demand must be getting out of hand. This is great for...

ok uh about a year and a half ago me and two mates were down at the murray (albury/wodonga) and we saw this bright orange snake, it wasnt very big, about corn snake size and when we went to get a better look it took off.. we thought it may be an escaped smuggled corn snake but it was down the...

After purchasing an incorrectly sexed Tiger, i am now after an Adult Female. I would prefer a Victorian seller, let me know if you have or know of any that are available. Thanks.

IMO, regardless of the animal and its nature, this was quite a foolish thing to do. What hope would they have had if by chance this critter decided to take an inquisitive chew?? They would have had a real emergency on their hands. This sort of thing doesn’t do positive things for the...

I heard and agree that it's good to have at least one python that is bittey or snappy in a collection. Especially if it's one of the larger species such as a coastal, olive or scrubby. Some would even say aggressive If you agree, why? Or disagree, why? Does it make you a better handler...

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...

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...

Ok so i was just browsing through the threads last night and I saw a few post that poked my curiousity. I know there are Mac, Darwin, Spotted and Olive Albinos but what other Albino's are out there in respect to Australian snakes (including Elapids, Colubrids and File species). What about...

Hay guys. Mate of mine bred this.. Have a guess at what it is.

I don't know if anyone can help me, but I want to try and find out what kind of snake we just saw in our yard. It is a little vague as I don't know much about snakes. I am in the Northern Suburbs of Sydney. The snake was slender, about 50cm long, a dark grey in colour and seemed to have...
