NT & Qld herping trip - Alice Springs

[mmafan555]

Coolest thread ever...My god I would love to just go on some wild trekking adventure in Australia...It's such an unexplored and wild continent and I feel like their are so many secrets about it that most people don't know about compared to the more densely populated continents.

By the way the Mulga is the coolest snake ever....How common are they in Alice Springs.

Thanks guys!

Mulga's were pretty common in this area, as they are throughout most of inland Qld and NT. They were by far the most common snake on this trip, I can't remember the exact figure but we saw close to 30 I think. Never get sick of seeing them either, all so different from one region to the next. Alice Springs have some of the best looking Mulga's I have ever seen.

Haha Shane, we all have different tastes! Those accie pics didn't turn out at all, they looked much nicer in real life, much yellower.

It's a small burrowing frog, they were on the Todd River bed (it wasn't flowing) and would burry themselves into the sand quite quickly when disturbed, cool little frogs!
