Looks very familiar to me too...... Nice pictures Andy, If they are some of the same snakes they all look a fair bit bigger than when I was last there :lol:

I may as well throw a few into the ring.

Is that top mulga a Kunnanurra locale Andy?

The mulga pictures that wouldn't work in the last post

How often do you go out herring in mulga territory? I am trying to plan a trip with my mate to Glenmorgan hopefully before they slow down.

Not as much as I hope to later in the year.

I used to work between Miles and Condamine, though I only ever saw one mulga in the area, barely got any herping done this summer because we stopped doing DIDO and started FIFO so no private vehicles.

I reckon you'll have to be quick! the weather is starting to get cooler at night, but might still be alright on a few nights (Friday through Sunday looks alright at this stage)

That Mulga picture was taken out past Eromanga

Glenmorgan isnt exactly the heart of Mulga country, your more likely to find spotted blacks there

And lots of them! Though they are painful to photograph, black scales at night is annoying to focus on!!!

Got a few shots I've taken of friends snakes over the past month. Some from last weekend

Mulga, Coastal Tai, Redbellied, Eastern Brown, Lowlands Copperhead, someones boot

Groote Pygmy Mulga that was unfortunately killed by a dog.

I haven't been out there but I have heard that there was heaps this summer. Hopefully I can get a trip in before it cools too much and was hoping the low pressure system would keep them active.

Regardless of the mulgas, you'll still see some new animals if you haven't been out herping in the brigalow belt before.

There is a good spread of herps out there and in the right area and the right night there can be a lot of activity.

 

[andynic07]

The first two are a light Alice mulga and the second one shows the contrast within one locality.

Here is two different looking albino adders.

 

[junglepython2]

Nice stripe, its looking better than the last time I saw it!

 

[butters]

That stripe looks awesome but I really prefer the second one.
If the first one had the outline on the yellow the second one has it would be an even better looking animal IMO. It still looks awesome .

I know nothing about adder genetics but is that something that can be bred for? Have enough been bred to know the modes of inheritance for the variation in the albinos?
