Just thought Id share some photos of some wild reptiles ive come across in the last few months...
First pic is one of the 6 or so tree snakes i saw on the daintree river on the weekend.. 
Next pic is a croc i saw on the river, not the best pic i know. It was about 3m long 
Next is a 4m long Scrub python that was removed from someones house, this was at my last work where we did snake removals.. Scrubbies this size werent uncommon! 
Another snake we removed was this gorgeous Jungle carpet which had decided to lay her eggs in someones front yard. If you look at the photo closely you can see the pythons head, her eggs and right at the bottom you can see part of a cane toad which was actually curled up with the snake!! 
The snake was removed along with the eggs, and when hatched all the babies and mum were released into national park.. 
Lastly a skink i found.. i think its a major skink. It was about 25-30cm long 
Hope you like the pics..
Feel free to comment guys!!

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Apr-07 Location: enmore Age/Gender: 27 | | | | that's great. i've never thought about removal of a snake and her clutch, what was your success rate with the hatchies? how long did you have to incubate for? did you know how long she had been sitting on them, or was it a mystery? |

We let her incubate them on her own. Pretty sure most of the eggs hatched, i think their was about 7 hatchies (I had left that workplace before they hatched, so i cant really remember how many, it was in the local paper though). |
