Hi all,
I photographed a friend's Arafura file snakes the other day. Unfortunately I didn't do a particularly good job. I needed some clearer water and a fish tank that wasn't scratched. Does anyone else have some pics of this bizarre species?

But they have a face only a mother could love once they are adult and have those beady little eye things. |

snorkling at weipa...not quite mate...thats full of too many not so nice critters....as for arafura sea...thats a arafurae..not granulatus .
In front of a fish tank..right place right time...part of a yawning sequence
Cheers,

Nice shots mate...if you want some more you can take some pics of ours - they are in an unscratched tank that's painstakingly landscaped by the devoted missus.

I wouldn't mind finding out what kind of setup they need either - I think they look cool
