Now that i have a decent camera, i thought i would take some pics of a little Golden Crown that was rescued as the weather was going cool down on the South Coast. Basically it came froma mate of a mate of a mate who found it in his bird aviary. I suspect that the injuries this little guy received was probably from being captured.
His lower part of the body is a little kinked but i think if he was going to croak on me he would've done it by now. I will be looking after him until the warmer weather returns..... (yes I am licensed to do this with a wildlife organisation) then i'll release him. In the meantime here are the only two half good shots i could get of the little blighter and I must admit he is dead cute.
Simone.

He is actually no longer than 11 cm, I will try and take a pic of him sitting in my hand or near a ruler so you can see just how small he is. I suspect that at the time he was found he was only in this world a few days. He is so very very cute. But your right considering his length etc he is a solid little darling.

| | | | Hi Simone
That is a really nice find, such nice colouring and a very unusual head. But without sounding like a dill, as they maybe quite common, but I've never seen or heard of a Golden Crown, so can I ask for a little more information on them, and if they are venomous or not?
Thanks Simone |

golden crowned snakes are a nocturnal species, living under well embedded rocks.it feeds on lizards and reptile eggs. the average clutch is about 2 to 15 eggs. and yes they are venomous but not classed as dangerous!!
hoped this helped jagman

It hit a spot where it was an open wound and i didn't feel a thing. He is very very cute though. I know the bloke thought he was dong the right thing but some time i wish they'd leave them alone. The capture of this little was what did the damage.

I have heard of them before but never heard of them being in any collections or ever seen them advertised | |
