Found this while doing a search.....
Some may take offence as the content contains a few 'anti-snake' posts but the most part I found humorous.

Here's a pic of a Red Belly Black snake I took a few years ago. It was on the lawn at the front of the house, munching on a dog bone. I threw a brick......

i recon thats SO cool, i plan to try to get a lacey to do that one day.

i want to keep some goulds monitors but it is impossible to find anyone who breeds them or even knows if they are good as captives.

 

[varanus]

Heh Marc, naw he walks us!

Keeth, the Spencer is a classic, has a great personality and is unbelievably tame. He'll hang out draped over your shoulder for as long as he's allowed and pretty much would prefer to live outside of his enclosure. Although a few times he's been spooked and dug his nails in, quite unpleasant.

We feed him a couple of tablespoons of kangaroo mince every other day, growth rate is amazingly quick. Added bonus .. cheap to feed compared to snakes.

not when they just bite down its when they twist that gets ya

 

[varanus]

Heh, the little skink in our gallery does that. He latches on and then twists ... and stays latched on for ten minutes. Only difference is it's funny when it's only a 15cm skink.
