oh ok, that is about 1 hour away from us, maybe I should head up that way, I did head out near kew, which is near there. all I saw was a blind snake and a golden crowned snake. on the way back from the herp meetings have seen a burtons and a dead intergrade maybe I should start going for a night drive around the area before we go home.

sweet shots henry, nice looking tigers, victoria isnt that bad :lol:

Just a strange question,
Im noticing alot of wild elapid pics taken directly from the side (ground level), do you guys lay on the ground or kneel down etc?

 

[m.punja]

Awsome shots Henry, makes my tigers look like rubbish!

 

[Nephrurus]

Yes, i was lying on the ground.... You can't see the tent pegs I've driven through the snake to stop it launching forward and biting me. I just crop them out.

[smacdonald]

Tent pegs!!?!?! Now, why didn't I think of that? I've been using star pickets. The snakes always seem quite lethargic afterwards.

you all do it the hard way. just take along a freezer in the car. freeze them all then take the pics, no worries about the snake moving, just make sure you dont over freeze it or it will snap when you try to pose it. wont have to crop the pics then.

 

[smacdonald]

Ryan! That's brilliant! I've tried freezing things in carbonite, but that stuff's really hard to get on this planet.


Stewart

 

[ryanharvey1993]

dont bother trying to hit em with the car you end up with blood in the shots, or guts hanging out

 

[smacdonald]

Yeah, they don't look too good. They look pretty tyred. Speaking of, I'm off to bed.
