Nice, they're very pretty snakes. I was amazed at how long and thin they are.

Good stuff, Trent. Nice pics, and some great finds - esp the death adder. Must be a first for Lancelin (now where is that wink icon...?)

Yeah the adder isn't from lancilen.
Everything after the spiney tailed geckos are just from around "perth". A mutual young friend found the adder actually.

The shovel-nose is something you don't see every day, and you never hear of anyone owning one either.. yet they are very, very cute with their little button (well, shovel) noses lol.

yeah I was especially excited to find the narrow banded shovel nosed snake. It's the only one I've found so far. The southern shovel nosed I've found a few times and seems to be more common. They are cute little snakes. I believe they have a specialised diet (reptile eggs) so probaly not many if any are kept as pets.

I think the Crowned Snakes are pretty nice - beautiful subtle colours and gorgeous matt/satin finish! Used to find a lot of them around the lakes behind Rockingham... when they had water in them! The adults always had a lot of skin-worms.

You've taken some beaut pics there Snowman. Thanks for posting them up.

Jamie, do you know what prey coronatus usually eat that gives them skin-worms?
