to start off i bought 2 turtles and two coastals. very happy with my purchases and they all seem to be settling in well.
as for the expo i enjoyed it. just wish i took more money lol.
Sorry I have no pics, but my good friend today saw in the bush what he said looked like a red belly black snake, which we have a lot of around here ( just west of the blue mountains), and I know the myth lol, but what are they really? Are they just a young red-bellied black, a colour phase of a...
Chasing some more elapids guys, in particular adders, RBBS and Tigers. Let me know if you have some for sale. Prefer QLD purchase but not fussed either way. Thanks.
I am posting this on behalf of friend. A friend of my friends who lives in Brisbane, has a New Caledonian Crested Gecko who is unwell at the moment. It is showing the following symptoms:
- lethargic
- will not eat
- not using his front legs.
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you
Caught this little red belly near Wyong on my partners pops farm and relocated it. It came out straight in front of me, lucky my dogs didnt see it or it would've ended badly for both the snake and the dogs.
I dont often come on here these days, but i thought on a boring night like tonight i may aswell post some photos. let me know what you think
cheers,
smithy!
I have just read somewhere else a theory that if you put fishing net around you property it will help keep snakes out as they will get tangled in it. Any thoughts on this? I have my doubts that's for sure.
I have this hankering to get into elapids that won't seem to go away the problem with getting them is I have a beautiful 11 month old baby boy who has absolutely no fear whatsoever of my pythons.
My question is, would it be bad parenting to get say, a RBB? I also doubt I would stop at just 1...
just curious what inspired you to the point of keeping elapids what fascinates you about them?
cheers steve
:lol:people that don't own them that want them may also comment
just caught a very healthy black snake, about 60 cm long, high red belly. there is now a debate as to if it is a small eyed snake or a red belly black. can someone help please? snake is safe and sound is a hatchie container with a bowl of water and hiding contently in a toilet roll lol. I will...

Well over the past few months I've been doing a fair bit of herping over lots of NSW and taken a fair few photos. I thought I'd culminate it all into one thread as it makes it a nice larger thread. Lots of the stuff I saw I didn't photograph being time sensitive and it being stuff I had seen or...

Just found a great hollow branch for our outdoor beardie enclosure. The branch must have recently fallen from a dead tree and bits of it were on the side of the road. Obviously not lizard habitat yet so perfect for our enclosure. Our beardies stayed outside for the first time last night. They...

Hi guys,

I was just wondering which type (locale, colouration, etc) of Jungle Carpet Pythons are typically the smallest ... and how big...
