G'day everyone,
I realise that I don't have much information to give here but I thought I'd try my luck anyway. My cousin says he has a small snake living in his garden. He says it's definitely not a python. It's about 1ft long so it's probably still a juvenile. It moves very fast and it...
Ive been thinking lately, there is proably a very large number of snakes out there that are superficially similar (to people like myself) to taipans and brown snakes. I am willing to bet that the number of snake out there that are brown outweigh the number of Taipan and Brown snakes.
So why...

Seeing as there are a few courses now available teaching the correct handling and husbandry requirments of elapids, i'm interest to hear how many python keepers are contemplating "graduating" into elapid keeping? What are the main species of interest for you guys? We're in the process of...

She then realised it wasn't rat and then somehow coiled and bit...

I thought Punja was going to be in for a treat at my fav herping ground this afternoon.....but alas...it was as boring as I've ever seen it..... nothing...not even the rustle of a common garden skink.
After I literally travelled to the ends of the earth to collect Punja I noticed this...

Hey everyone,

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has come across any snakes lizards etc,out and about in the bush or national parks lately all i am coming across is little lizards...the weather is getting warmer surely they must be coming out soon,i like to observe....thanks seeya.........
These two little whip snakes were found in chilly old melbourne the other week under the same rock. And yes there were released back where they were found :cry:
Ok, this might sound like a dumb question but i am a beginner.
How do u tell what sex your snake is?
I couldn't even really find that area on my snake :shock:
Pics would be appreciated.
Someone gave me this article, to save you reading it it says that carpet pythons over 5.5m :shock: had been found near Kaimkillenbun(near bunya mountains in Qld).
While a small article in a paper is not 100% proof i think its highly possible its true. It comes from the Dalby Herald 13 july 2006.
just though i would throw the question out there to all u crazy ven keepers.....
have u been tagged and what by?
when did it happen?
how much did it hurt?
and have u got any pics?
cheers
damian
Hi all, wondering if anyone has owned the little whip snake either currently or in the past and what they thought of them. Also has anyone had them feeding on anything other then skinks or geckos??
Thanks
OK all you snake keepers out there, it's time for a light hearted most embarrasing tag contest! The winner gets to feel even more foolish for posting it on a public forum :oops: and hopefully everyone gets a few laughs out of peoples mistakes/stupidity :lol:
Anyway i'd better kick it...
Saved this little fellow from a certain appointment with a shovel. I am glad that my neighbour had the fore-thought to call me.
Damn cute little bugger too.
Hope the Photo's are ok.
Furina diadema -for those interested in. technical names.
