Another day, another tiger. Got a few of these in the Cranbourne area the other day.

Baz, no ventral spotting on the textys from Boneo?

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

I got this one from the same area last year and they only have a few pinkish grey spots on their bellies.
Hardly mottled at all.

A texty from Mylor (Adelaide Hills). Might be a keeper; I'll see if it's a male (pretty certain) and feeds on thawed rodents!

So far, no ventral marking on any of the textys I've found in the Adelaide Hills either?!

I really want a tiger snake!

Another Adelaide Hills texty, this time from Dawseley. Darker animal than most.

Another lovely, a mate of mine caught a baby brown the other day out the back of Rosebud but didnt get any pics.

Yesterday i caught this little tiger and Kaz got this video of the release.

My first SA RBB! A nice big male, unfortunately caught in netting. Still....it means he can stay with me for a while for a little bit of TLC.

He wants to kill me or crap on me (or both) ATM, but I'll put up some pics of his progress/ release for those interested.

Lucky snake, the damage dosnt look to bad at all.

Just a few chinks in his armour I think, but I like to check for proper movement and to give them a couple of feeds and make sure it's all passing through OK before release with netting injuries. I had one little EB where the injury didn't look to bad superficially, but all the muscle on the right side of it's body had the blood supply cut of for long enough that the muscle began rotting. Poor bugger was euthed a few days later.

Release of "Boxhead".

Ha, ha...hot day and an ever warmer snake that really wanted to leave the scene, so I thought I'd give him a chance to come out at his own pace while I got the camera ready. Still didn't work, though...only got the one shot.

Here is a vid of a copperhead in a Hallam factory and a pic of a few tigers being released

Another Adelaide Hills beauty, having a feed before release (took 3 adult mice).

For all those Copperhead fans, I'll try and get some Pygmy C pics up. Fairly bland compared to the nice red Lowlands, but something different.

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

Adelaide blacks snakes are sweet, bright red sides with black face, very nice.
I managed to some pics of a snake I caught in Portsea yesterday but none really turned out properly.
It hated having its pic taken and just wanted to kiss me.

Baz, those are stunning photos mate, well done.

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

Thanks SC, the snake wouldnt sit still, the cameras setting was way out and the light was all wrong but at the end of this dodgy video there is some nice footage of this snake at the release site
