I finally got my pair of BHP's out for some shots. The female is 2.89m (snake measurer) and the male is 2.25. They weigh 9.7kg and 2.8kg respectively (mind you I haven't weighed them since late spring). They are called frank and ferta (real funny I know).  (sorry about the photo quality, we aren't that flash at taking pics).

Old timber, erosion gullies etc. These photos were taken at 4 meg, as I said earlier they look great on screen until I resize. Whether it be up or down. I'd love to be able to size up to 24 inch or better. Do standard cameras of this size (say 7-8meg) take quality photos- zoom etc?

Cost $248. Takes awesome pics.
