Hi, has anyone tried it? Is there any reason why we don't see many of these around? Cheers

My fave thread before the server issues was the one with photos of snakes feeding, so I was hoping this could be a new version of that. My new stimson python (7 months) just had his first feed with me, but was a bit shy and only took the mouse after I left the room and I didn't get to see...

Figured I would put up some photos of some snakes I own to see if we can get this plan on a roll again. Annoyingly the uploader was not working correctly and was failing to load most of my images so most of these are old photos. Cheers Cameron

Some recent photos I have taken in the last month or so. These shots are in no way sensational :P Delma impar- which is an endangered species. Awesome things!

Headed up to a very nice spot in Cragieburn and found some cool skink species. There were two main parts to the area, the Merri creek and the grasslands. Around the creek we found some hibernating large-ish skinks Ctenotus robustus by nickgherping, on Flickr This robustus had some nice scars on...

I was working in Western Sydney Parklands on Friday and found a very lethargic snake on the footpath in the bush. At first me and my work college were startled and thought it was an Eastern Brown. We had a bit of a look at him and he coiled up but didn't show the aggression typical Browns do. He...

ok so there is a catcher on the way for this one but a friend just sent me this pic asking what i thought it was , my first thought was a juvy brown but im not that great with ids and the pic isnt the best , so intrested in others thoughts , as i said there is a catcher on the way apparently and...

Hi all, Last november, I've encountered several snakes. Could you please help me identify these creatures? I tried to catch them on camera. Not all of the pictures are showing the entire snake, but I hope it's clear enough to analyze. Myself I thought that these are 1. Eastern Brown, 2...

Hi there, I'm a concerned mum about to move into a house my husband has renovated in a semi industrial northern suburb of Melbourne. He found small eggs in the roof cavity and a few nights ago thought he heard movement in the roof cavity. He cleared a backyard overrun by black berries and car...

I live in Castle Hill, and a herp since a kid. I uncovered 11 Blue Tongue eggs whilst planting a new tree, and I wish to make sure they hatch and ensure they survive. I have them carefully recovered in same soil in a large straining dish, and within an open cardboard box! I have occasionally...

I have found this snake and a few others the same in my brothers backyard in Qld I was wondering if anyone knew what type It is? And if it's deadly or venomous as I am worried as they have kids and dogs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Found in a CQ kitchen, on a local buy swap and sell page. I think it's either a baby brown, or an orange nape snake. Despite numerous calls from people that it's actually a BHP.

Just a few recent shots from 2013 before 2014 starts. Early this year I went to the mallee with Nick (richoman on this site), matt(python_owner) and a few other guys who aren't on this site (steve and dan). Bandy Bandy(Vermicella annulata) by Melbourne herping, on Flickr Dark-Spined Blind...

I was recently thinking about the pre-digestion role certain toxins in venom play when elapids kill their prey. That made me start thinking about the fact that almost everyone feeds dead things to their snakes which made me start to wonder how that affects their digestion. This may be me lacking...

This little guy made his way through my front yard today... Is it a brown snake?

Does anyone know what this snake is? I would suspect eastern brown

This nice snake was found dead nearby home. Im thinking its a brown snake, not a hundred percent sure though. It was taken on the nsw vic border in Albury Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4

I was just reading another thread which got me thinking about how many species of snakes I've spotted in my yard. On an acreage block in SEQ, I have seen a couple of RBBs pass through. There was a communal nest of yellow-faced whip snakes under the thicket adjacent to the house. I once removed...

Saw a snake on our property near Toowoomba this afternoon. Unfortunately no pics however it was arounf 5ft long, had a dark brown to slate coloured body with a small tan coloured head. It was quite a thick heavy body. It looked at me and i looked at it for a while then when i took a few steps...

I have a query that's been in the back of my mind for a while and I'd like to hear mainly from the field herpers and/or snake catchers if possible. I find that even with reptile friends and people who have a healthy respect for snakes that EBs are the only snake they won't trust and that they...

My niece found this snake on her property in Malanda QLD. Is it a keelback?

Thought I would share some information that I have come across in my scientific paper research. The below is an exerpt from "Best Practices: In the 21st Century, Taxonomic Decisions in Herpetology are Acceptable Only When Supported by a Body of Evidence and Published via Peer-Review" published...

Hmmmm, watched Dirty jobs downunder the other night and was horrified by some of the statements Mike Rowe made in regards to killing our native snakes ie browns etc, thankfully the snake catcher from Adelaide that was with him kept telling him how illegal it was to kill them but it did not seem...

Hi, I found what looks like a baby snake in one of my crocs on the verandah. I live on a 2 acre block in a rural residential ares, backing onto a sheep paddock. At first I though it was just the tail of a large penny lizard: I have moved it to the edge of my yard (at the end of a shovel)...

Just thought I'd show off some of the photos i've taken of local, SA herps over the past ten or so years. I am not a photographer - don't expect perfect photos. This is by far, not everything I have seen but these show some of the animals where I managed to have a camera (not a great one I might...

Thought I'd throw up a few photos of some of the Eastern Brown Snakes (Pseudonaja textilis) that I've come across in the last year or so. Some of the pics have probably been seen before, but oh well. I really wish I'd put in the effort to photograph a lot more of them.

Some texty eggs from a building site:)! Good on the contractors for the callout and the careful lifting of a few ton of rock without squashing any eggs. Interesting to see who hatches out, all look pretty good at this stage:). Anyone after some known locale (down to the nearest few MM)...

Greetings all, I woke up to hear this item on the news headlines this morning... "A NSW mother has described the shock of waking to find a 3m python coiled around her two-year-old daughter and biting the little girl as she lay in bed. Mum, 22, of Lismore in the state’s north, was asleep with...

Hey guys, sorry about the lowsy photos, the snake was sent to me via phone from someone else and I was drunk when I took the one of the frog. Anyway the frog was found in Townsville, and the snake found North shore Sydney, Hornsby to be precise. Thanks

Hi All, I found a snake skin today in a garden bed near my house. I've done a bit of reading and checked out AROD - AROD > snake scale count search | AROD.com.au - however i'd love to get some more opinions as to what kind of snake you think this skin might belong to. I live in Brisbane QLD...

These are just some of this seasons finds around melbourne and its surounds Unfortunately didn't get any good pics of copper heads and tiger snakes although I did see a few. And still haven't encoutered a white lipped snake to photograph. Enjoy, Akash Cunningham skink(Egernia cunninghami)...

ok so just failed at attempting to catch a small snake about 15 cm(make that 20/25cm just looked at a ruler ) that looked very much like a young golden crowned snake , only thing thats got me thinking that it might not be is that it was in a very dry/hot area in my backyard in amongst a heap of...

well the local male female Darwin have breed this year again :) found this little fella in me bird cages might have to use some vermin mesh to keep them out.

Hi there, I found a 2-3 ft snake on the road, which had been run over and was being attacked by a crow. It had olive brown scales with a bluish hue over its scales and creamy brown belly scales.... I'll attempt to attach a pic... Found in Ipswich SE QLD and was well and truly dead when I got to...
