rough scale snake





here's a rough scale i posted on a recent thread, i rescued this one at port macquarie.

cheers steve

 

[redbellybite]

how many claimed it was a KEELBACK? lol ........

 

[elapid@]

hi

how many claimed it was a KEELBACK? lol ........

I only just post the pic, but give it time? Ive never caught a rough scaled before so im pretty stoked. I got up at 12 am this morning to go and catch it. The funny thing is the day i got to port mac i got a call from qpws gold coast to catch a rough scale. i was spewing as ididn't think they get them down here and i would miss out as i know longer live up there, the second call i got and walla, lucky me. The first call was just a green tree snake.

 

[redbellybite]

I have never caught one before either ,,and looking at them besides the loreal scale difference,I reckon the only thing, that they have, that seems to be in common, is the colouration ,the head is far broader ,and as a catcher you know yourself you can never tell by colour/pattern alone ....thats what cracks me up when they claim its a taipan ...cause the eastern brown(that they are seeing) has a pale head ,then it must be a taipan, or if the eastern brown is big the claim of its a "KING BROWN!"

Haha, well you do know that all the current distribution maps for King Browns are wrong? We get them down here! A few people have told me about there encounters with these "King Browns" lol.

 

[redbellybite]

yeah Dan but their ego gets a bit deflated ,when you tell them that "the king brown" is actually a member of the black snake family and is not an actual brown snake after all .......lol

 

[DanTheMan]

Lol I tend to lose them at that point, I might have to try the "black snake family" instead, the second I mention Pseudechis, their eyes glaze over haha

Thanks RBB!

oh no freehandling shots? I know an owner of an adder has some nice shots of baby browns and baby death adders on there hands

 

[moosenoose]

I'm whipping myself a little over the quality of the shots (I've over-exposed them due to experimenting with a new flash) and in my opinion I've bungled a few here....but regardless of what I think, I've still managed to capture some salvageable shots of your typical wild common tiger & a copperhead......thanks to Ssssnakeman! Next time I'll get it right!

Last, but not least... a beautiful copperhead!!
