Fresh faces around brisbane

[DeadCricket]

I plan on doing a few more little trips around so why not have my own thread

Good to see some healthy fresh faces around. Sorry about picture quality, he wasn't letting me get too close and unfortunately I don't have optical zoom

Where was that mate? I've noticed the dragon population@ southbank parklands has exploded the last two years or so.

Aparently its called Youngs Crossing. Its near the back of petrie

After hanging out with the water dragons today I got a call from my brother in law to go save a damsel in distress! What looks to be a little black whip decided her chest of draws was a good place to hang out. Hard little fella to catch! I love how they puff up their necks!

Went across youngs crossing yesterday morning and returned less than hour later and there was a fresh killed keelback and a fresh killed water dragon. Bit sad they were. Both good sized adults.

I thought that but I looked into the descriptions and the head and neck were definately matching with the description of the whip. What gives it away as a tree snake?

Edit: just looked at the aps description and whilst a lot of it looks simmilar the belly etc don't seem to fit.

Yeh its sad to see but I saw a few adult water dragons, a few juvies and some hatchies so hopefully the population should survive

Pretty cool that they seperate their scales to change the colour
