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
This little chap was found just outside the office this morning and considering the size, I didn't need to break out the hook and bag. It is roughly 20cm long and very alert as to whats going on around it. Im unable to get to any of my guides to confirm what it is until late so, apologies for...
I went to an animal expo and took a few photos of some snakes, after a while I fell in love with a specific one but never got the name, could anyone help.
9 days in Brisbane and I spend some time in some "wild" places so I've met some interesting guys !
I've visited (very quickly) the Mt Coot-tha botanical garden, a nice experience.
Dwarf tree frog, Green Tree snake, Cane toad, Asian House gecko, Water dragons, some turtles and some water skinks...
Hi guys, I have recently had a couple snakes on my property. They are not overly aggressive however don't move on without a bit of effort. I have done a bit of research but still not convinced on what species they are. I originally thought they were Keelbacks (may still be) however they do not...
Many times on this forum I see threads about mixing one genetic morph from one species to another and the usual flame fest ensues.
Like clock work there will always be posts claiming how the same can be achieved by keeping the line "Pure"
So lets see them! please include pictures of all types...
I don't know if this qualifies as 'news' since it's from 2008, but I stumbled across this article recently ...
The snake that eats toads to steal their poison : Not Exactly Rocket Science
Apologies if it had been posted previously, or is common knowledge, but I found it intriguing!
A work colleague of mine found this little fella today while digging under some machinery. We it in a safe location and let him on his way. Could anybody give me an I'd on him. It was hard to get a good pic. Was found in Mossman North Queensland.
Thanks
Hey all, just wondering if you could help me out identifying this snake as i don't want my younger sisters or pets to be harmed if venomous.
found in gold coast area, Helensvale to be exact. it was moving from drain pipe to the weep holes, any help would be much appreciated :D

Hi guys. Do you mind if I hijack this thread for a snake identification of my own? This was taken along the Ross River in Townsville.

While I'm here, I wouldn't mind your opinion on this skink as well. I was thinking Lampropholis mirabilis? Taken on...
Hi, I'm new to this forum and wondered if anyone could help ID this snake I saw today.
It was in the Gold Coast hinterland, in a habitat with lots of water and bushland around. It was lying across the path (an area of medium length cut grass, which was very wet) and was still. It was about...
So guys, this has actually already been ID'd for me from multiple trusted sources, but I didn't ID it myself.
I thought since the photo quality was pretty poor I'd put it up here and see how you guys went IDing it, and I'll let you know if you're right or not.

Recently I spent 3 weeks volunteering in the Eastern Kimberley with a scientific project radio tracking monitors, both Varanus panoptes and Varanus mertensi. The research was being conducted at El Questro Station a popular tourist destination in the East Kimberley and involved many different...
Hi guys, I got home from work today to my elderly neighbour asking for my help because she had seen a snake in her back yard, this was my first capture and release anyway I think it might be a green tree snake but i just treated it like a poisonous one i'm not too familiar with other breeds...
It was suggested that i post my vids/photos of some of my snakes and some of my enclosures on APS. Its been a while so i figured I'd give it a go. the following are pics of jungles, common tree snakes, keelbacks and a rough scaled python. the main display enclosures are tree snakes and keelbacks...
Hi all,
I am making this thread to assist with people making I.D's of snakes. Have been alot of threads lately and people guessing at I.D's. So i am making this thread for it. Please feel free to post pics of snakes for peopleto try and figure out what it is. Please explain your reasons for...
As the title suggests, I'm stumped. That's not hard to do though :P. I caught these two little ones at work today. I know my pythons, but I've got no idea when it comes to other snakes. Just wondering if anyone can enlighten me on what they are? The pics aren't the best because they were taken...
Greetings everyone,
I went on a brief trip to the Northern Territory last week. I have always wanted to see this area during the monsoon when it is lush and green. It really was a lovely site. The only problem with a visit during the wet was that the highway between Darwin and Kakadu can...
So I have read a lot on this forum that 'snakes do not like being handled - they tolerate it'
However my woma seems to love it... At the same time every evening I find her 'tapping' her nose on the top of her click clack, so I open it and within about a minute she comes out onto my hand that I...
Hi,
My two dogs had spent a bit of time in the back garden and when we went to investigate, we found the shed skin as shown in the photos attached.
Is anyone able to identify if this is a python or snake - and if snake, what sort? It's not very long (~under a metre), but it doesn't appear to...
I ran over this snake on the road in the early hours today, didn't see it till the last second. Looking in a book I have here it looks like a Tipan, but the markings don't match what the book has.
Thanks.

Hi,
Just stumbled across this little guy in my vegie patch, unfortunately for him (but I suppose fortunately for me seeing as I almost stood on him) the dog had gotten to him and he was dead.
However seeing as I have young kids and god forbid they ever get bitten, I just wondered if anyone...
Seeing its getting colder which leads to a decline in herping threads (plus I'm just bored on a Sunday night) I thought I'd throw up some pictures of the snakes I have photographed so far this year. Majority of pics have maybe been seen before.
Cheers.

hey everyone,
Just wondering if anybody can help me out on these 2 snakes for ID, unfortunetly it was too late for one. they were both found in south east QLD.
I recently joined Gus up north to the Tully area to assist him with his masters project, which involves tracking the endangered rainforest frog Litoria rheocola. His site was near Mena Creek in a patch of secondary rainforest. I first spent time at the site in August 2008 while assisting another...
A mate and i went for a walk around the local duckpond and found this little guy. So my friend ran home and grabbed the camera. He just sat there and we took some pics then he slithered off. LOL (we didnt mess with it just took some pics, Dont flame me). Any ideas as to what it is>? :D

I've just returned from a trip to the Gulf of Carpentaria, north of Mount Isa. I think the highlights were the olive pythons (we found two) and Cryptoblepharus zoticus (Cryptoblepharus is my favourite skink genus), plus the bats.

Righto. I want to usurp The Other Thread and make a new 'longest running thread' on this site. Who wants to help? Unfortunately I've only seen four out of Australia's approximately eleven species. Hopefully I'll add to my count later this year with a trip up north.
