Elapid relocation

Nice Brown there VI, must have been a beast at 8m

I get called out to move quite a browns up here, but none look anywhere near as calm as that chap.

I love 'em all Richard, the hotter the better, tis a good size but 8 M?
Not quite.
Thanks for sharing the pics,
I should put Armidale on my list of places to visit I reckon

@ Reptilica, this one was very laid back I thought

I'm yet to see a big Eastern that didn't settle with a bit of gentle handling (even on hot days). I love 'em too, baz!

Thought I would upload a video of a small (~600mm) Eastern Brown I took today just prior to release. Apologies for the poor quality it was taken on my DSLR with one eye on the camera and one on the snake.


(Not sure why but I couldn't get the "Inset Video" to work so had to just post the link.

Another RBB. This one's more of a White Bellied Black, so I'll likely hold off release until after it can see again.

We chased a white cobra for 3 months
But never even saw it until a few days ago
Supposed to be 2 metres
Size wasnt far off
Not a white cobra but an amazing find

alot of elapids hangin around at the moment, also finding alot of large carpets pythons mating and males fighting, good season to look forward to.

This brown was just shy of 7' and was wrapped around a snake repeller.....
Hmm does that mean that they dont work......

The tail was almost at the stage where it was going to fall off and rather than nip it off myself I thought
it may have been better to let it fall off on its own.
The damage was well behind the vent so
he's going to recover just fine I reckon,

Nice Copperhead Baz! Here's another texty, just under 2kg, approx 150cm and a bit of tude! I asked my neighbour to take a few pics while I held the snake for some scale and when he saw it he refused??!!
