Pandora Pythons, What did the Collett's set you back?

Cheers luke
 
YEAH fayse its a pelamis platurus.....or yellow-bellied sea snake ....

Correct! They are usually fairly battered when they reach shore but this one seemed to improve over the two days I cared for it and was more lively. It went to an ocean aquarium where the bloke had another of these and a Stokesi. He is trying to get a public display up and running for these amazing snakes.
This species is a open ocean animal and a surface swimmer. They hang out between us and New Zealand.
cheers
 
excellent cement ,I dont mind the look of sea snakes and kraits.....well done on getting this one back to health:)

ID?

Caught this guy a little while ago but not sure what it is. I think modesta but others think nuchalis. The main reason i think it's modesta is because they are very, very common around here and Westerns aren't. It also has the typical black tipped tail, and looks very similar to another modesta i caught just two weeks after this one (they were even found within 5m of each other which was really bizarre!) He was also very placid, not like other brown sp. So what do you guys think? I have more photos if needed, and will post pics of the second snake caught for comparison.

lovely snake ,to me it looks like a modesta,bands arent always distiguished ..the pic of the iris is a orangey -browny colour which is known for modesta,unlike the iris of nuchalis, which is quite red in colour ...how lucky to find two within a short period of time ;)
