    Morning Walk

    Headed up river to kill a few hours this morning for a walk and to clear the head.

There was a number of these little...

    Morph or Phase?

    When describing a different color variation in Australian lizards, monitors, skinks and dragons is it correct to call them phases or morphs like they do with snakes. Trying to get the terminology correct is always a rather tricky part of entering into a new fancy. Thanks, ~Akwendi.

    What makes reptiles addictive

    What I want to know is what makes reptiles so addictive. I started out with just 1 snake and this quickly became 4. I want more but, I am not allowed any more till I have my own house. What do you find is the best bit about keeping reptiles? I just love how snakes they are so adapted to move...

    Continuation: Exporting Reptiles From Australia

    Red Bellied Black Snake venom

    Hey guys, I went up to Ballarat Wildlife Park a few weeks ago where I saw a Red bellied black in one of the enclosures there. I have to say, I was very impressed. It was very placid, had the most amazing colours of any snake I have ever seen, well besides the albino Burmese there anyway :lol...

    Bad rep.

    After having an in-depth conversation with an associate about the temperament of snakes i came off rather annoyed. Mainly due to their opinion being summed up by: "All snakes are vicious, blood thirsty creatures who will bite someone no matter what" I did inform them that my spotted python...

    Curl snake

    Got this boy just over a week ago, gorgeous snake, so much better then i was expecting. Quite a pain to work with as any movement and this little fella flicks around madly which also made getting pics quite hard. Got a few decent shots so check them out.

    RBB Interesting Head Colour.

    Thought I'd throw up a pic of a Red-Bellied Black I cought a few years back, at Woodgate Beach near Childers, QLD. The lady reported a "very dark snake with a brown head" so I obviously assumed Eastern Brown. Amazingly, though, it turned out to be a young RBB, about 1.2m and not in the best...

    2 metre redbelly?

    the dodgy newspaper report of two metre redbelly got me thinking, people are always speaking of 6 foot or the slightly longer 2m red belly, but has anyone actually got a pet one this big... or at least reliably measured a wild one this long?

    Good Paddock

    Came across this guy this morning. Unusual for the Sunny Coast he was huge, you can see heaps of sub-adult and adult reptiles but old adults are few and far between. Note the size of the head! And very placid, didn't even tongue flicker, all he wanted to do was warm in the morning sun. She was...

    Possums as a food source

    So I reckon possums would be damn fine snake food. Since they are in plague proportions In New Zealand, if we paid $1.00 for every body, we could bulk ship them over as a food source for snakes.

    Heya all We found this skin in the backyard. My neighbour told me about brown snakes about a year ago, so I my guess is: brown snake, but I might be wrong, as this is the first snake related remains. Considering the amount of available camouflage (tall weeds), we're a bit worried. Any...

    Please help identify this snake skin

    I just found this skin outside my back door. Should I be worried about the kids? I live in Loganholme (between Brisbane and Gold Coast) about 1.5km from the Logan River. Mid-body scale count is 17. I counted 117 ventral scales, but I am obviously missing a lot of the skin. thanks in advance.

"Experience" is an uncertain entity with no limits, boundaries or benchmarks, yet we often refer to it as if it was black and white. If you kept two snakes for 20 years...
