Yay so, yesterday Kelly and I went off to the West Australian Reptile Park which is always for me an absolute pleasure. We met up with Gary Davies (WestAussie) and had a great chat with him while playing with the carpet pythons and stimmy's. We asked Gary about snake catching and got into a...

So I have just been reading some funny reptile stories, one that was hilarious was a guy waking up in the middle of the night thinking somebody had broken in but it was his huge snake that had got out and had the cat bailed up on top of the fridge. Just wondering if anyone on here had funny...

It is a common discussion amongst snake enthusiasts as to how vens compare re; toxicity, deadliness, etc... I thought you might find this table interesting, it is based on comparison with the toxicity of the Indian Cobra venom, which is assigned a 1 rating. The table is not mine, but comes...

Today at my boyfriends work there was a small (15-20cm) very VERY thin snake w/ a black head and tigar like strips. I tried to find out if there was a dorsal stripe or not and whether the stripes were alighned or not. So far the best I can get is small black head and stripes lol he called it a...

Went for a walk with my girlfriend around Herdsman lake today. Had to take my camera along as I knew their would be a good chance of spotting some reptiles. It didn't let me down! Firstly. Came across a couple taking photos of this tiger. Got a bit closer to take some better pics and...

Hey all, i found this snake under my front step and i think its a baby dugite? i dont plan on keeping him.. ill take him out to a some bush tommorow.

I am having real difficulty tell the differance between a dugite and a gwarder, is there any 100% way off telling the differance, apart from the rostral scale, and the mid body scales count 17 some times 19 in the gwarder, hopr some body may be able to help me, pj

I went camping on the weekend to our block near the Grampians, on Saturday it was great weather for herping. I saw 2 Jacky lizards and 4 shinglebacks (including a pair basking side by side) at our block. On the way home we unfortunately came across lots of roadkill including heaps of stumpies...

Had a great meeting last night at the SA herp group. Mathew did a talk on keeping and breeding Monitor lizards, with a couple in for show and tell too ;-) It was a great slide show with some good ideas and lovely pics. A few people brought in other snakes and lizards and Blindsnake had a...

i worked out today that i had my substrate temp at something like 38~degrees c. i have since docked it right down to about 30ish i believe. my snake (Sw carpet) seems to be not wanting to go into the hot area sometimes, and yet today i found it asleap at the warmest bit (38~) im guessing...

Ok. I'll start by apologising. I'm terrible with a camera. Not to mention that if ya use the zoom on our camera, it blurs. So venomous photography is fun lol So let's see some photos :D Inland taipan Cheers, Austy.

Hi all has anyone done anything like this, if so what were your thoughts?? http://www.reptilesdownunder.com/ahc/animal.php?saleID=8563

Hey, I was hoping someone could help me identify this snake I found on my driveway. I picked it up by the tail (because I wasn't sure if it was venomous or not - it DID try and bite at me though) and put it in a plastic bucket. I was going to call the ranger or something and let them handle...

Was just going through some older pics and came across these. Found this guy in my garage last summer. Nasty little bugger, had a kink in it's back. Just put it in a tub for some pics then drove it into the bush and released it. dugite

G'day Just a few thoughts that I have been having lately. About November last year I went to rottnest with a group of friends for a holiday. For anyone who isnt aware of rottnest it is a small island off the coast of Perth. Of course being a herper, curiosity got the better of me and i...

Hello, I was hoping someone would be able to help me with an identification of a snake I nearly stepped on while out walking through the dunes near my home in Ocean Reef, Perth, WA. The snake was approx. 1 foot long and a finger's width (so probably a juvenile). It's head was tapered and...

Helped treat a snake bite down the beach this morning - a dugite had latched onto a guys foot, apparently unhappy that he was standing on it! Thats what you get when you don't look where your going

I thought that the snakes/cats thread was going to be about the reactions between your snakes and other pets. I'd be interested to know now how people's other pets do react to their snakes. I've got 2 snakes which I keep together so I take them out separately to feed and have the occasional...

A work colleague took these snaps on a bush track near Moore River WA the other day

I have never once seen a pic of a dugite posted on this site since the start. So let me be the first to share a pic of one of mine.

We stopped to identify this roadkill orange naped snake, (Furina ornata) when a king brown happened along. He too had eyes on this roadkill. Started eating it right in front of us and didn?t mind the camera. This meal was over in about 60 seconds,he then turned back the way he came and...

Hey everyone. This might be a stupid question but i'll ask anyway. How bad is a bite from one of these? I have read that a fatal bite is likely only to occur in small children and the elderly. I have seen many pics of people free handling them. If one was to bite someone, say, between 20...

hey people, just thought i may put a game up that everyone can enjoy its the ABC game and each post has to name something related to herpotology starting from the letter A to Z for example: A for atherton tableland python or albino olive and B for bredli's python etc. Anyway ill start...
