Way out West ......

[westaussie]

As a licenced reptile collector & display reptile educator
I usually get a feild trip in somewhere once a month.

just got back from a field trip thru the northwest up the gib river rd.

Without starting the whole (collecting debate).....
I would like to share some pics of what I see on an average field trip.

RATED (R)

The road trains never sleep, and never have a day off ........

pygmy python ( perthensis )

 

[westaussie]

one of 6 pygmy roadkills this trip

 

[westaussie]

an estimated 5 million reptiles are killed on our roads each year

 

[womas4me]

on my most recent trip i saw more roadkill than i collected

 

[pugsly]

thats terrible, fact of life i guess.. not really much a truck driver can do at night (prob on drugs!) KIDDING!

 

[womas4me]

i know i wouldnt be trying to swerve a triple to dodge a snake, or any other animal for that matter if i was driving

never saw any raccons. :shock: :shock:

 

[pugsly]

i dont think the above post is quite appropriate do you>?

quite offensive indeed

 

[westaussie]

WOMAS - on my most recent trip i saw more roadkill than i collected

thats pretty normal - I reckon a road train on an average trip to Broome & back would kill more reptiles than I collect,

I am on my way to Perth this week. Hope I can spot myself a few herps whilst there. Flying over though.
