Aaron, that looks like a huge tiger snake....what size is it? Beautiful looking animal!

also what is the bulge in its throat....did it have a respiratory infection or just a drink?
 
Nice dwyers snake Australis. Where is that from? i used to keep them years ago before licencing in nsw, i had a big female who had 8 babies. I cud never get them to take mice though. i did have 1 that i had eating strips of raw chicken.
 
Can someone positively ID (save me the trouble of keying it) this one.
Initially thought it was a Cryptophis boschmai.. but getting back
and having a look at the couple of photos i took, it looks nothing like
a C. boschmai.. and more like some Furina..?

I think it is C. nigrostriatus, some of the one's I have seen around CQ are quite plain compared to the northern forms. The vertabral stripe can also be quite faded and sometimes even partial in CQ forms also- assuming it is a CQ form ;).

cheers Hawk.

Hey Hawk,

It certainly was in CQ mate, but it could pose a range extension if C. nigrostriatus as it
was found at least 100km s/w out of its range (from the few books i have handy)...anyways
teaches me for not keying it out at the time.

jase75,
That Dwyer's Snake is from Central Queensland.

I think its just the angle of the picture that makes it look like that........:?

Yep that's the taipan that prolapsed... never even thought about doing it again thank God lol.


Cheers,

I have heard the Inlands are a rather placid snake. Obviously its true by the way you guys handle them like pythons. I reckon I'd love to own one, not sure my family would agree though

AUSTRALIS yes you like the scientific names of the snakes and yes you are correct it is the proper name,,,,,,,,,.but couldnt you put the common name next to it as well ...........:)please

Hey guys awsome pics here,

Put some photos up instead of worrying about what i write.
I don't particularly like Latin names, sometimes its just easier
to put one Latin name up - as theres often more than one
common name or just a stupid one.

Like this:
Yellow-naped snake (stupid name), Barnard’s snake etc.. Furina barnardi
Adult.
