Hi everone at Aussie pythons & Snakes!
I thought this was a great website to sign up to, I love reptile and spiders, all animals really.
I went to Australia this year, I took 1500 photos of just wild life and about 5 photos of other things lol. You Australians are lucky to have what you have there. I would love to have reptiles and large spiders in New Zealand, but I live in New Zealand haha.
My main question is if there are any snake relocaters out there, if they are interested in volunteers wanting to help and learn things on the job. When I got to Australia I rung all the snake relocaters around Ipswich but none would let me come out on the job as they didn't want to take responsibility for accidents. But all I wanted to do was watch other people to get some tips and anything like that. I love reptiles and I was astonished by the amount there was in Australia. I plan to be over there around dec/jan to visit my dad in Ipswich and I would be keen if someone was interested offering something like a day on the job or maybe just give me a few videos of what they do so I can learn.
I plan to do Zoology next year at Massey University, so I am very much an animal enthusiast.
Also, when is the best time to be in Australia to see reptiles active?
I went to Ipswich's Manchester National park by myself to explore all day on two occasions as no one could take me on a job. I found a lace monitor, a green tree snake and an Eastern Brown was the first I snake I encountered ever.
I do have a picture up close of the eastern brown which I will upload on this sight as I was unsure whether it was a coastal Taipan or Eastern brown. I am pretty sure its an Eastern Brown but I didn't quite manage to get the snakes head so you will have to tell by the scale pattern.
I look foward to talking to reptile and animal enthusiasts on this website.
Cheers,
James
