OK, I've probably made all the dial-up folks mad. Love seeing all the Aussie Snakes..wish we had some of your herps over here. Someday, I'll get over your way to do some herping/photography.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for posting. It's always nice to see pics from the other side of the world.

Have you heard of our thorny devils (Moloch horridus)? They're remarkably similar in form to your Texas horned lizards.

Except you need to drive over them to make blood come from their eyes! ;)
Keep the pics coming, I love to see herps from OS, particularly if I'm OS looking at them ;)
 
Those are some awesome pics, thanks for posting. I think we all like seeing other countries reptiles. Im aware that we have over half of the worlds species but do you have any monitors in Texas?

With the Mexican snake - is the saying 'red black venom lack, red yellow can kill a fellow'? what is the dangerously venomous species that looks similar to this one?
 
are u allowed to keep thorny devils in any state in australia

Coral Snakes..though that rhym really only works for North America, In South America, corals come in all colour patterns..and they all kill you

No, thorny's only eat ants, not really worth keeping.... a bit like Bandy Bandy's only eating blind snakes...those herps with such a specialist diet really don't do that well in captivity unless you devote yourself to them 24/7.
 
Stunning photo's of some beautiful animals, American colubrids are one of my favourite groups of snakes and Indigos are one of my favourite colubrids. Keep em coming.
