oxyuranus microlepidotus

i know this is a pretty known thing, but honestly.........Examples:We can keep salties, yet not freshies. We can keep inland taipans, but not other python species......Oh, and we can keep a lace monitor on a Basic wildlife license, but not any rock monitors, on even advanced......Of course, i'd...

Snakes (vens & pythons) on the loose after Unit fire in Reynella SA Awful thing to happen :( I really hope that the remaining snakes are captured/found and returned to the owner... As usual, the media hypes it up "Deadly Snakes on the loose in Reynella".....only 4 are venemous out of...

Hi, so there is a good chance I will be doing a massive road trip next year up through SA (going through coober pedy) and into the NT so Alice springs, Simpson desert, Ayers rock and right up to the top for some barra fishing (and hopefully some croc spotting). I was just hoping for some...

Hey Guys So ive had snakes for years... Ive done a snake handling course which was awesome i really enjoyed it.. So now im considering getting an Elapid.. What do i need to do to get my license in QLD? I was thinking a RBB for a start.. even though id love a inland taipan lol but probably not...

Hey guys, thank you again for your help with the Inland Taipan ID. This time it is probably not that spectacular ;) Today I spotted this little guy at the Jindalba Boardwalkin the Daintree NP/ Cape Tribulation area. Time: around noon on a hot and dry day. I can't give any information about...

Hello, I am from Germany and right now here in Australia on a roadtrip through the outback. A few days ago I saw a snake on a gravel road whilst driving. I have no experience with identifying snakes and limited internet here so I would be really happy if you could help me. At the moment I can...

Hi all, I've fallen in love with the ball python but I have no idea where to start and how hard it would be to import one from the US as I haven't heard of or seen anyone in Australia with them. Any info would be greatly appreciated on how to go about it cheers

When I first heard this I thought it must have been an escaped pet (being the snake was an inland taipan in Portland Victoria). The first report said it was a person bitten whilst at a picnic. Then further clarification revealed it was a handler whose demonstration went a little off the rails...

should common, cross or unknown locality species that hold no conservation value thus being nothing more then pets be on the licensing system? I think that only pure locality reptiles that hold conservation value should be on license. These licenses should only be give to people with real...

Callout was 40km away so it took awhile to get there. During that time the snake caught a rat even though it was only 17 degrees ( IMHO a very uncivilized temperature). The father was a well built guy with a totally bald head ( a GREAT look ;) ) and terrified. When I got there and found the...

Hi guys. Just wondering if you can help me identify the attached snakey seen on a road side in Kakadu NT. Pretty snake about 1.5 m long

So guys, this has actually already been ID'd for me from multiple trusted sources, but I didn't ID it myself. I thought since the photo quality was pretty poor I'd put it up here and see how you guys went IDing it, and I'll let you know if you're right or not. Untitled by Stephen Mahony, on...

Thought id give my guys a bit of natural light today.:)

I turned 23 a few days ago, and my mum made me this amazing snake cake! Not a bad job considering she's terrified of snakes. She had no particular breed in mind... what do you all think it most looks like?

Ill start off, either the olive python or the inland taipan :D.

From what I've spotted on the net so far, it only says 2 years. Can someone with infinitely more experience than me "or wiki answers" give me an approx on their lifespan please. And no, I don't want to buy one, it's info to pass along to a zoo volunteer guide sheet.

Just out of curiousity whats the appeal of owning venomous snakes? I've only been in the game a few years so maybe it hasn't click in me yet. But why would I want to house something that could kill me? I can't really interact with and just watch through the glass rather then have them sit on my...

This may seem a little random, however my husband and I were discussing different breeds of snakes last night, from the most prettiest vens to some of the largest boas. Then it got us into a discussion of one super snake. Which got me thinking. If you could pick only THREE breeds to make ONE...

He was chasing inland taipan. Speckled brown. Blue ring octopus and Tassie devils

A mate has just rang me saying his mother killed his juvie RBB, he came home to find his snake dead upside down under its exoterra hide. Apparently she had taken a spare key for the lock from his car keys without his knowledge and waited until he went out for the night before entering his room...

I'm considering some shift boxes on my new Kingy enclosures as an added safety feature, for more usable space and to double as hides, perhaps one in the cool end and one up the warm end. As I've never used these previously, I was wondering what experience others have had with them (pros and...

Howdy, Its anybody else sick of the myth and legends that the general public "know". lol I'm just over correcting people when they see my collection of herp books on the shelf and they come out with, "did you know that the Taipans and pythons are interbreeding?" and "my best mate was chased by...
