just a few questions reguading red bellies guys
so i live in qld and i believe that on a standard RWL you are able to keep up to 2 restricted reptiles, does this include elapids like red bellies?
also i have heard from a lot of people that red bellies have really nice temperments when they are...
Hi all, I'm Mel.
I have been stalking your threads for a while now and the other day I joined and started "liking" things... The next natural progression seems to be a hello post.. ;)

This little fella was found sitting up on top of a bin full of hessian bags last friday in 45 degrees.
Moved like a rocket when discovered.
Relocated to a nearby pond full of all the good things in life. Reeds frogs and water skinks as far as the eye can see.
My brother visited me tonight which was nice, but it meant that I was a little distracted when feeding my baby beardie. His viv has a slide out plexiglass front and an open top. I usually take out the plexiglass, get Lumiere out and put him in his feeding pen and put the plexi back. After...
This is how Sid managed her first day of heat wave...still in the bath at 20:30hours. She did spend time stalking the house earlier.
How did your favourite beasties cope today?
I'm pretty sure I heard a while back on a program, that there are a multitude of venomous snakes in Australia that aren't considered medically significant to Adults.
Is anyone able to tell me what genus' they were alluding to? (I already know about Boiga).
Thanks.
Looking for a juvenile pair of colletts or even just single animals if that's all that's available. Please PM me if you can help.
Located Brisbane area.
Cheers
I am writing this to elaborate on the DEC post "$3000 fine for conservation, or something ;-)" I just want to highlight the "conservation" efforts of our Wildlife Departments in recent months. Firstly, I made reference to a mining project that's on the cards for Northern NSW

This is getting serious now I think, people are starting to look at me strange! In the space of about 3 weeks we will have acquired 3 new snakes (jungle, diamond and a md) as well as a new baby beardy.
We are yet to pick up our MD, which should be this weekend I believe. After that, we really...
As the title suggests, im after colletts snake husbandry info.
from what ive gathered online i understand:
They are a larger elapid so a 4x2x2 enclosure would be ideal. Temps around 30-35 hot end as the are from the northern parts of aus.
Feeding id imagine would be the same for most elapids...

Hey everyone.
I'm doing a project about these snakes and was wondering if anyone wanted to maybe send me a photo of theirs that i could use for it? Also a bit about their behavior (couple of sentences)

I was recently having a discussion with mate about the top 10 most dangerous snakes in the world, he does not think Australia is home to more than half of the top10. so can anyone name the top 10 most dangerous snakes in the world?

G'day guys,
Just got a phone call about some news broadcast on the radio today. Apparently a keeper has been bitten by a Colletts Snake. They are the only details I have but hopefully, whoever it is will recover quickly.
Hi is anyone able to identify this snake for me. I found it in my backyard yesterday and have been searching for an answer but at this stage I'm not sure if it's an Eastern Brown or a Coastal Taipan? Any help is appreciated
Hope the photos are big enough!
