Welcome Visitor

[Retic]

Wet down to check the reptiles and rodents this morning to find this 5 foot Coastal trying to get some breakfast. I offered it a dead rat and it took it with no problems, it's now just roaming about looking for somewhere a bit warm and dry I think.

 

[junglemad]

That's how we got our last dog....lock the shed...finders keepers!!!

 

[Gilleni]

thats awesome, wish we had snakes roamin our joint...

 

[instar]

LOl, cool stuff, only wish I had herps visiting my shed!

 

[Retic]

Yeah it's great to see them doing what comes naturally, it's still a big thrill. He is the second one we have had around here.

We've also been fortunate to have coastals, brown and green tree snakes, keelbacks, rough-scaled snakes, small-eyed snakes, pink-tongues, bearded dragons, bandy bandy's, white crowned snakes and yellow-faced whip snakes at our house. We've even found hatchling coastal carpets and keelbacks in the garage where we keep some of our herps! One day I got bitten by a 5ft carpet in our mouse & rat house.

Forgot to mention a Broad-shelled turtle laying eggs 10 feet from our front door!

 

[Retic]

We have had green treesnakes, carpets and a red bellied black in our backyard, also a lone bearded dragon, a pink tongue, blue tongue 1000's of skinks and geckos.

Where do you live Boa?

 

[Retic]

Up behind the Koala Reserve in Daisy Hill.

 

[Dicco]

Ah, shame I don't get anywildlife around here, used to be loads at the old place, saw some of the most beautiful looking McDowelli there, had great colours.

 

[Retic]

Where are you from ? I thought pretty much anywhere around here would be good for the wildlfe. We even had a wallaby on the road outside the other day, dead unfortunately and we have koalas opposite.

 

[Dicco]

Right now I'm in Ipswich City, I used to live at Bellbird Park

 

[Dicco]

I'd love to see even common roos or Blue Tongues, only thing worth mentioning around here are the Verreaux's Skinks.

 

[Brodie]

[Retic]

Nah, I quite like a bit of civilisation thanks

RE: Re: RE: Welcome Visitor

I am on the Nortside of Brisbaen and we get heaps of Water Dragons from Hatchlings to fully grown in our yard and even swimming in our pool in Summer, and a few months ago spotted a Green Tree Snake. I have heard of Carpets around the area and my Wife saw one on the road at night near our house last summer. Also get plenty of Asian House Geckoes and Cane Toads.

 

[moosenoose]

That is so incredibly cool! I knew there was something I missed in QLD :lol:
