The older Victorian herpers will all be familiar with this snake, many of them have searched for years to find one, some successfully, some not. Strangely, many of the younger herpers these days don't even know what a Bardick is.
They're extremely interesting snakes. They don't look like much in pictures, but in the flesh they are amazing. They sidewind, they climb trees, they have a deceptively long strike which reminds me of some of the more slender vipers, they are just amazing little snakes.
I found these ones in, um... Darling Harbour, yeah, that's the ticket, uh huh, Darling Harbour, Sydney. Best place to catch them, yessiree! You can also find them at Central Station, or Flinders St in Melbourne. Rundle Mall in Adelaide also has a few, as does the Gabba.
All the pictures were taken on the same night. A brilliant day of herping!
