Random Pics from the past few months herping (Pic Heavy)

[Ishah]

Hey Guys (and girls),

Here's a couple pics of a few things I've found over the past few months herping...

Enjoy...

A Lacey (I assume) that was in our carpark... I'd say it was roughly a sub adult...

A BEAUTIFUL massive carpet (8ft+ roughly) that we almost hit down our road on our way home from work... As you can see in some of the pics, he has a damaged/blind eye. When I got out to see if he was ok, I walked up on this side of him and thought he was dead and the ants had eaten out his eye... So you can imagine the shock I got when I nudged him with my hook and he moved! LOL! I was so stoked to have seen this guy esp. at such a large size considering his impairment, even though that isn't their main sense they rely on...I'm really glad to see that they are growing old and surviving well even with impairments etc... After a few pics, we moved him off the road and into the safety of the bush

And this lil guy was the culprit for decimating my mice colony a few months ago... Probably the offspring of the big guy above...Either way, both STUNNING animals...

There's still more pics to come, I just want to post this before my internet stuffs up and I lose it all AGAIN... (I did make this thread up a couple days ago, but lost it due to that reason and I had heaps more pics and spent hours on it lol needless to say I was extremely peeved off about it... I've finally calmed down enough now to have another go at it lol)

sweet photos, that big carpet looks awsome, sad about his eye though, but its good to see that he is still going good without it.

Some geckos...

This was the gecko that made me fall in love with them! Absolutely LOVED this little thickie! (P.S. If anyone has ones that look identical to this shoot me a PM :lol:...but seriously! lol)

Some eastern stone geckos...

A Bynoe's... first one I've actually got to photograph...

A Golden-tailed...Bloody hard to photograph too I must say!

Haha little boxy in stalk prey/bolt position hehehe

Little fatty mid-stride

And the best for last! Little asper mid push-up lol... I would love to get some identical to this in the future! I did take a video of this little fella doing push-ups and licking his eye, but am yet to figure out how... will see what I can do...

Thanks guys! I wasn't even on a planned herping trip when I stumbled across that big carpet... or the lacey... lol...

One of the many perks of living on a big property There are mass amounts of herps that frequent our house and stop in for a cuppa lol...Our whole property is riddled with them!

 

[BenReyn]

Ohh, they are fantastic shots!
I think we all wish where they were in such abundance liek that
Well done!

 

[Wild~Touch]

[Ishah]

Here's the video of push-ups and eye-licking... hopefully it works... It's the first time I've tried to put a video on here... Enjoy

[Ishah]

Yeh, I dunno, been here, there and everywhere lol. So probably did a bit near there...couldn't quite be sure tho

[gonff]

awsome pics!!!

 

[Ishah]

Thanks

I know Brett, so you better let me know when yours have babies!

more elapid pics? :lol:

Nope, not yet, but I caught another BTS in my mice cage the other nite...GRRR... Will upload and post some of it later... I think its probably only a yearling, although I couldnt be sure coz I've never kept one before...Either way, it left with a full belly...:evil: And will probably be back for more, as I released it only like 10-20metres away...

There's also a strange gtf living on my laptop atm...probably not even a gtf but some other form of tree frog... Feel free to ID it when I upload some pics of it... (Be warned they will be dodgey as theres bad lighting etc...)

Here's a couple pics of my midnight camper (turned up around midnight to camp out on my laptop, and hasn't left yet...

And here is some of the little BTS that attempted to desicrate (sp?) my mice colony the other night... He got atleast one adult mouse from what I noticed of the remaining mice... And maybe a couple fuzzies... another mouse bailed into the rats cage and got killed by them when I opened it up...

This last one is blurry, but I kinda like it...(It was a bit hard trying to photograph by myself...everyone else was petrified of it and yelling at me, because of the presence of venom lol even though it is only mildly venomous...would of been easier if another herper was there...Or atleast another calm person lol)

Hopefully I wont be seeing this lil guy near my mice again... Cheers
