My wife and I dont get out at night time very often due to family commitments, but last night we had tea at my fathers place, and the kids fell asleep in the car on the way home, so we decided to take the long way home if you know what i mean. We chose to go out for a look, because it was a relatively warm humid evening, around 20degrees with just enough rain to wet the ground.
We couldnt belive the number of frogs we found. There were frogs everywhere. We were hoping to see a tiger snake after dark, which i have never ever done.
We also went looking for a carpet python, but once again missed out!!LOL
Firstly my wife photographed a stack of frogs, then i spotted and photographed a blind snake. I thought it was a legless lizard but wasnt 100% sure (obviously) so i posted a few photos of it last night and had it ID'd by gecko75 for which i am very thankful.
After the blind snake we drove for about 10 minutes before encountering a possum that was just running around playing on the road.
The last thing to get photographed for the evening (apart from a few frogs) was a koala. We get a few around here, but not a huge amount. This is only the 2nd one i can remember seeing in the headlights around here, the rest are usually around the river flats.
We only found 1 reptile for the night, and that was the blind snake, but we saw plenty of wildlife which made for a great night, and most of all i learnt something, i learnt a bit about blind snakes, which im pretty sure i may have encountered before.
