vermicella annulata

A couple Bandy Bandys I've been lucky enough across lately with the passing of a storm. These guys were all from the hinterland region of the Gold Coast, SEQ. https://southeastsnakecatcher.com.au/bandy-bandy-snake/ https://southeastsnakecatcher.com.au/gold-coast-snake-catcher/

Hey guys, Just a few finds from the season just passed. I apologise for photo quality, all taken with a phone. Antaresia maculosa (spotted python) - Cecil Plains, QLD Cacophis kreftii (southern dwarf crowned snake) - Main Range NP, QLD Parasuta dwyeri (dwyer's snake) - Westmar, QLD...

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...

Not 100% sure what this is, my first thought was some sort of blind snake?

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...

Well Matt beat me to the APS post on this... but last is always better. After a riveting day of school Matt and I wasted no time (Maccas is not wasting time!) getting to Little Desert NP On arriving there we set up our camp, and the tempting calls of banjo frogs nearby lured us to their pond...

Hey all, headed up to the Mallee over Cup weekend with a few mates to see what we could find. We started off at Little Desert, then moved up through Big Desert, and across to Hattah - Kulkyne National Park. Here is some of what we found. Enjoy the photos! Banjo Frog (Lymnodynastes dumerilii)...

So I just got sent this photo from what I believe is an idiot mate... The caption was "check out what I just found"... I have no clue what it is but to me that looks poisonous... Any ideas?

Ok so these were actually taken the past two days, but I'm posting it today ;) Enjoy. Anyone who wants to find me Delma plebeia in the Hunter, let me know, I don't think they exist. :P Around the garden enjoying spring. Intellegama lesueurii by Stephen Mahony, on Flickr Intellegama...

Hi Everyone, here are some photos I've taken recently up around Mareeba/Tablelands, hope you enjoy the photos. Tommy roundhead Diporiphora australis by Kieran Palmer, on Flickr Diporiphora australis by Kieran Palmer, on Flickr Dead Robust blind snake Ramphotyphlops ligatus by Kieran...

I am in the Darwin rural area

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has some good spots to go herping in the Western Sydney and Lower Blue mountains areas? Specifically interested in snake species but all wildlife is welcome, hoping to create a long lasting photo album cheers in advanced

Hi all, a friend of mine sent me a photo of a snake that was caught in his fish pond. He lives in the windsor area of Sydney. Could it be a Bandi Bandi ? I am trying to load images from my phone but is not very successful. The animal in question is black and white striped. Very clean white and...

Went for a bit of a drive yesterday evening ..... past the area of a recent large bushfire event and along the massive development (devastation) of a bush road leading into CSG territory. Usually I encounter nothing but tonight I was lucky, maybe due to the heat and rain around at the moment...

Hi All, just thought I would post a few pics of a little critter that I rescued late last night. This little tacker was found under the dining table while food was being eaten. What I would like to know is how would these guys actually be able to eat Blind snakes at this tiny size? Cheers.

Just wondering if anyone has successfully got these guys to take mice or any other food items other then blind snakes without force/assist feeding and if anyone keeps them in there collections?

For example.. Carpet pythons are breeding with browns and producing cross breeds that look like carpets but have the venom of a brown snake... Or A fella told me that in Red Centre they have a snake called the Crimson Python and it grows to well over 6ft long....and crannnnky! Oh and I...

Since arriving in Australia 4 months ago, I've had the chance to spend a lot of time herping in and around SE Queensland, and have been lucky enough to be shown some fantastic spots by a mate local to the area. Our time is coming to an end in this area, as we're heading north to Cairns for Xmas...

Hey everyone, Recently the well disputed topic amongst herpers came to my mind- What is the HARDEST herp to care for? I am interested in knowing your opinion as owners! I would like you to include Lizards, Snakes, Turtles and Frogs! Thanks, James

Hi all you snake lovers, Does anyone know what kind of Australian snake is similiar to the attached pic? We found one in our backyard (Kellyville, Sydney) this evening and are curious to know what it is. Noooo we didn't kill it, we caught it and let it loose in the forest. I've attached a...

Was out doing some laps at an xc trail on my mtb this morning and came across this little fella on the edge of the trail. First time I have seen one of these guys!! Sorry about the iphone pics but its all I had!

Hey So i just recently found out that people keep bandy bandy's Which surprised me very pleasantly. Anyone have any info or pics would love to see some.

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. Bandy Bandy Vermicella annulata Brown...

Did my Easter trip a bit early this year, and for only a few days. I took the trouble and strife with me and the camera had decided to ignore the flash which has greatly cut down on both the quality and quantity of the photos, for which I apologise. The cussing jar is now overflowing. The camera...

My cousin works in mineral exploration in the Pilbarra region, he tells me that there are reps everywhere he looks. I have been bugging him for ages to send me pics so here is what he sent mr so far. Enjoy!

Got a call from the missus to come over to the shed this arvo, she said we had a little visitor. Hook in hand I managed to get this little Brown just starting to head under a brick wall, he was 1/2way in when I got there, slow process to retrieve him with out damaging, to the wall or the snake...

These are a few pictures from two nights of herping that myself and DanTheMan have done over the past week. Brown Tree Snake Boiga Irregularis We came across one of these on each night we went out both crossing the road. Coastal Carpet Python Morelia spilota mcdowelli We found one juvie...

nice Bandy-Bandy on pink mice.....:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8bp6w6YNEc

Hello Snake lovers, I have come across this site in an effort to help identify a rather old snake handed down to me through family. The story of this snake is that it was captured by my grandmothers father who preserved it this bottle. Actual age is unknow but I am 24 years old so i guess you...

This trip I found a couple of monster snakes. Well.. they were huge for the species. First up was the Brown Tree Snake spotted crossing the road. Hes was over 1.5 meters long. After I pulled over Another car came along the road and carefully avoided him. Its always nice when you see things like...

Recent and rambunctious reptile resolutions Here are some random pics of reptiles from mountains in south-east Queensland. No narrative, just pics. Lamington Plateau: Coastal carpet python (Morelia spilota mcdowelli) hiding under a rock. Eastern water skink (Eulamprus quoyii)...

I found this snake (dead and headless) in the gutter out the front of my house. I live in The Royal National Park, Sydney. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Hey there. Just thought it would be a bit of fun to see what kinds of reptiles and amphibians you would do just about anything to keep. If money, geography and space were no factors, what kinds of reptiles make you burn inside knowing that you will probably never own one? Post pics, youtube...

I visited the Warrumbungles several times in the last few years. This is a great place to see some of our dry country reptiles and it also is excellent for bushwalking. I think that the Grand High Tops walk is absolutely stunning with magnificent views of the cores of these old volcanos. This...

A few of us went on the FATS (Frog and Tadpole Study group) field trip to Smiths Lake on the weekend. It's right by Seal Rocks, so we went for a bit of a swim before the serious business of herping went on. Heres a pic of the beach. It was a great night on the Friday, a hot day and a...

In the last couple years, I have visited the channel country of southwestern Queensland on two occasions. The first trip was with my son in November, 2006. The daily temperatures in November were already 40C+. We found many reptiles but it was too hot to have much of a chance at finding a...

Still no field herping section so it'll soon be lost... Just got back from the mallee in SW NSW, we were trapping at a couple of sheep stations near Pooncarie :lol: At the homestead we stayed at there were plenty of frogs out at night (we were right on the Darling River) This tree...

The drive between Brisbane and Wollongong is a long one so we decided to spent a night in the granite belt of southern Queensland. Conditions this year were wet and cool so I did not see much but did find one of my long-time targets. I will combine the results of this trip with photos from two...

In January, my wife and I spent 10 days in Brisbane. I was there for work so was not able to to much herping. We did visit the Lamington Plateau on a weekend (subject of another post). I also went night driving in the Mt. Glorious area on three occasions and this report will include the...

It's been raining and/or overcast in Brisbane pretty much continuously since early December. This is great for our drought-stricken city but not particularly great if you want to get out and look for reptiles. Yesterday, there was a break in the rain in Brisbane (though other parts of South-east...

Went up to the Mallee in Sunset National Park near Mildura, NW Vic. I volunteering for a project run by Deakin and Latrobe studying the diversity of wildlife in areas that had been burnt at different times and frequencies. It was a very busy week with 5am starts but well worth it for all the...

Hi Everyone, I know (I think) this is a bandy-bandy, but I know nothing else about them. Are the venomous? Introduced? What's their range? Sadly this little guy looks like he met an untimely demise :(

I went out herping the other night and came across a beautiful little bandy bandy. Its the first and hopefully not only time I have ever seen one. Now I am curious about how I can go about owning one, if possible. I assume that because they are venemous, they can't be kept on a normal...

This bandy bandy was seen near Mudgee NSW. It was only a week ago about 8pm and not that warm. I was driving slowly as I was stopping when I seen it. It "hooped around" I pulled over and I think the car following hit it. The poor thing wasn't badly damaged so I took some pics. I have never seen...

Hi all, Here are a couple of pics of wild coastals we took tonight. One by a bbq in the state forest - very poor condition - poor thing was probably full of worms. Nice cream and banding. The small one had lovely colour and beautiful head pattern. Hope ya like em Cheers Ad

hey guys just saw these on the quensland museum site under the queensland elapids and was wondering if you are allowed to own them ??? and if anybody they does??? look fully wicked i think!!! they call them the bandy bandy scientific name is vermicella annulata...

Hi, Here a few pics of a Bandy-bandy we found at Carnarvon Nat.Park. Cute little snake. Cheers, Johan.

Hi there Everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knew about Bandi Bandi's? I have only read about them, and the Wilson/Swan Reptiles book say's that most are dietry specialists and generally only eat blind snakes. Does anyone know if these guys eat any easily obtained food source such as...
