Hi All, It's not quite as serious at it sounds. Where to start, Ok, I have always had a phobia of snakes, Spiders don't worry me, i catch them and move them no worries, but that part of the brain that has evolved in modern man to run the other way when they see a snake is quite highly...

Hello everyone, this is my first time enjoying your forum and second day in WA. I wouldn't call myself a herper, but I love to see snakes in the wild. I'm here on vacation until the 26th with a rent-car, my wife, and 5-year-old daughter. My daughter loves to see snakes too. Our visit is...

Hi Guys. I'm moving to Perth from Adelaide and I wanted to know if I can take her with me? Cheers.

Hello! Can a kind soul help me identify what kind of snake this is. I encountered her in South Australia near Ceduna from memory on the gateway to the Nullabor if that helps. Much Obliged. ant

Just want peoples thoughts. There is a thread at the moment where someone has been criticized for heading a snake he couldn't identify, he appeared to have at least some knowledge in handling snakes, I have some experience in handling, mainly spotted brown (dugite) and Western Tigers these are...

My name is Lisa and i have been an avid reptile lover since i was a toddler when i found my first Copperhead snake and picked it up and kissed it.... I was extremely lucky not to have been bitten.(but did give my dad a heartattack tho).... I am a registered wildlife carer and specialise in non...

Hi everyone, We have been trying to figure out what this snake is that we have seen traveling in the south west of WA. It is around 2m long, plain chocolate brown body, with a plain all black head. It looks a little bit like the western brown snake but seems a bit large to be it, the colouring...

What's this.

Hey all, I keep seeing posts about temperament and personally I never really consider it an issue. I accept I might get nibbled on from time to time and that I can reduce that with the way I handle things too... Just wondering if there is anyone else who doesn't worry about temperament when...

S ome of the snakes we handled at a venomous course today.

Ok, so I was talking to a mate of mine and flicking through the elapid thread, and it got me wondering, how many female ven keepers are actually out there? That actually own them on their license and not just their other halves owning them etc...? And got into keeping hots, on their own accord...

I found it interesting in what type of anti vens are used for different species .... Immunotype Treatment of snakebite in a clinical setting depends in part on the immunotype to which the speces belongs. The Snake Venom Detection Kit (SVDK) helps with determining this information...

Hay guys. Mate of mine bred this.. Have a guess at what it is.

Hi Everyone, Thought I might show off some Dugites I Have had call outs for, all are babies to yearling. Enjoy.

Hi, I saw lots of frogs one night while camping a few months ago in SW. I am not entirely sure of this species. Saw several of these and think they are Moaning frogs (Heleioporus eyrei) I think these are Marbled Burrowing frogs (Heleioporus psammophilus) but also think they might be...

I am wanting some help identifying a snake that I saw at the beach this morning, I didn't get a photo unfortunately! I was in the northern suburbs of Perth and walking down the path to the beach. The snake was about 1.2 meters long and had a light green, almost iridescent body with a...

Hello to all, Just starting off with my reptile fascination really, looking to get a childrens python or similar. I have been a fan for along time of snakes, now just to get one for my own. I lived in Western Australia and had a ball with the native reptiles out there. They adopted my house and...

Hey seeing as we don't see too many of these on APS I thought I'd put up a pic of a little Dugite hatchie we caught a couple weeks ago onsite. It was wandering in a culvert in the middle of the plant when some of the workers spotted it. So they called us telling us there was "a tiny snake under...

ok, not into whacking snakes, prefer to leave em, but last night on the balcony this one came at me when i was getting rid of a couple of cane toads. was too close and cornered me on the end of the balcony in the dark..... I had a shovel...I made one choice... sorry to post this pic if it...

Has anyone ever thought of nominating a python emblem for each state. ?. Queensland = Green Tree python or Jungle Black & Gold or Scrub NSW = Diamond python or Port Mac NT= Bredli WA=Stimmie Victoria ?? Tasmania ?? Gotta fit womas and bhps in somewhere too any other...

Someone has asked me to clarify the IDs of the snakes in these photos for them.......would like to hear some ideas from the experts. I won't say what they have them listed as at this stage. Apologies for the poor image quality...it's all I've been given. IMAGE 1 IMAGE 2

:::DHi I am new to this site, I am going to WA in a week or so fishing in the Albany area where I used to live and hope to photo a few dugites and tiger snakes + kings skink that occurs there , doe any one know of any sites in southern WA were thorny devils might occur ? as it is one of the...

G'day guys, I know there are several people here interested in Brown Snakes (Pseudonaja sp) that may not have access to some of the academic work that has recenly being published on their taxonomy by Adam Skinner from SA uni/museum. I've just read the paper, and thought I would summarise it...

The other day i was thinking about my first reptile encounter, I was 7 years old and we were visiting my mums friends in Townsville There names were John and Kathy Roberts (John passed away around 20 years ago now) i remember going under his house and looking at all the tanks with lizards and...

My old man rang me the other day asking me to help him with a snake in the backyard, we found a 1m dugite around some pot plants under the patio. 1st snake they have seen there in 12 years so not to common. i found a pvc pipe blocked one end and coaxed him in the other and then blocked it. we...

I'm no good with snakes but wondering what this is, pic was posted on a non reptile forum. Someone there suggested death adder, even I'm not that thick. I may be thick though when I say dugite (I know they can have the flecks?) But as I said, I have no idea, it may not even be...

I was just on another forum...one for dogs, and a woman from WA has been bragging how she pinned the tail of a dugite to the ground with a pitch fork and then proceeded to kill the snake with a series of blows. Talk about animal cruelty, NO animal deserves to be treated in such a manner, her...

I found this on the net and thought it might be of interest. http://www.reptilegeeks.com/videos/id_1033/title_sexing-a-snake/

Well it was a lovely 31*c today on the Sunshine Coast! So had to go for a herp in my new surroundings, never seen such an abundance of lizards, mainly Water Skinks and Water Dragons (Water Dragons bolting in every direction with every foot step you take, i love it!) sorry they were too quick for...

how did u first get to like reptiles? when did the realization of how awsome they are grab u? lol for me, pretty much when i was born lol, being around animals a lot, i grew to like them! i started to like reptiles when i caught skinks and stuff around the house, and when i went to the...

firstly, i dont have a pic, and i know it would be easier if i did, but i'll ask anyway. i teach at a school in the south eastern part of perth and we have a lot of bushland around our school that is being cleared for housing developments. As a result we are seeing more and more snakes on our...

My girlfriend has recently asked for a dog for her birthday. I've done a fair bit of research into it and cannot really find some good first hand advice as to what dog would be suitable. Ideally it would need to be small. No larger then a cat as it would be a part indoor dog. Shes not really...

Well as the title says! Just post how you became interested in snakes. Heres mine It all started when I was about 7 or 8. It was my birthday and I got a new tank for my yabby. We didn't have enough rocks/gravel to fill the tank....so I got a container from the cupboard and headed out the...

I had a call out today... about 10 minutes ago, that there was a snake about 30cm long in a shed about 5 minutes from where i was. I told the caller to do all the usual stuff, don;t touch it, keep an eye on it etc etc. I got there and i saw a bloke lying on the ground. I got out of my car, he...

Without wanting to start some kind of virtual popcorn fueled flamewar, after reading Lovemysnakes post about being hospitalised by his rbbs, I'm genuinely curious about people's motivation for keeping elapids. I can look at a red belly or a desert DA and recognise that they're a beautiful...

i got a hatchling jungle (approx a months) from codered only a few days ago and was fine with handling the little ones then, but now ive got it at home im scared to pick it up... i know it doesnt hurt as i was bitten when i first went to look at them, i know its stupid and that it doesnt hurt...

Hey all. Just a question. you know how asper and amyae are highly priced geckos does the northen prickly knob tail (nephrurus sheai) get a high price as well AND HOW MUCH ARE THEY? they are all lovely lizards. AND ANY PICS OF YOUR PRICY LIZARDS AND THE PRICE U PICKED EM UP FOR AS...

This was posted to our aps mailbox. Anybody? New Ticket: Unidentified snake How are you? I'm sorry, I'm not a big fan of snakes but do respect their born right to occupy this planet so I don't kill them on sight. I leave them alone to do what they need to do. I'd just like to get some idea of...

I am trying to breed crickets for our fast growing family:lol: Does anyone have any tips? Please don't say woodies are easier - I cannot stand roaches!!!!!!! Eeewwww!

One of my favourite elapids for their sheer speed and weariness :) Anyone else care to share??? Austy.

Hi all, I've just returned from a month over on the other side of the continent, exploring various parts of Western Australia. I'm posting pics and info on my blog, so I'll just copy and paste them here. Stewart --- Into the rat's nest I've spent the last couple of days on...

seen or side of road in wheat belt Mid West (early morning) wanted to get better photo but was afraid it would take off ..:| I thought It was big but 2km down road was another one which was a lot larger. I'm thinking King brown (mulga)

if you've done (or seen) something extremly stupid/funny in you're life then post it here:D

last weekend (fri 2/11/07 - sun 4/11/07) i went camping and on the way home we saw a couple of snakes basking on the dirt road. most i could identify except for this one which i thought was a brown snake at first but then i saw that it had a yellow underside. i am just wondering out of curiosity...
