Can anyone beat that?

I can beat that.

But im sure there are many members here who it would be easier for to list the species that hey havnt seen.

 

[=bECS=]

i bet many members can beat 12, just by looking in their herp room

Unfortunately I think that might contravene the 'in the wild' rule...

You see the odd one roaming around Brisbane, this was 3 years ago.

 

[jase75]

So u seen a GTP around Brissy Trouser??????

 

[dunno103]

Have seen a lot but most memorable were large common death adder (1983) and a few broadheadeds (1997 just before NSW amnesty, after being added to the class 3 species)

I think you might mean a Green Tree Snake. Unless you have been to Iron Range, you won't have seen a wild GTP, without trying to start another thread on wild GTP ranges in Australia, we've done that one pretty recently.

Where did you see the Oenpelli Trouser?

 

[dragon lady]

Got a feeling that "Sdaji"...would be a contender!

 

[Ned_fisch]

Oenpelli, Arnhem Land

 

[jase75]

You have seen Broadheadeds Dunno? Thats awesome id love to see a BHS. Where did u see them?
