Hi all! I am from the Netherlands, and I have a big interest in Aussie Elapids. But for me it is pretty difficult to find some good info on some of your species. So I hoped that people over here can tell me something of the next animals in captive and wild conditions... Cacophis harriettae...

Hi, My dog found this small snake in our back yard this morning, and I have never seen one like it. I am assuming that it is a juvenile, and that it may be a venomous snake. I have 8 children who love to run around our yard, so, if anyone can shed some light on what species of snake we have...

It's been raining and/or overcast in Brisbane pretty much continuously since early December. This is great for our drought-stricken city but not particularly great if you want to get out and look for reptiles. Yesterday, there was a break in the rain in Brisbane (though other parts of South-east...

I was just playing a round of golf at albany creek golf course in brisbane and i lost my ball into the rough. It happened to land almost on a snake. I was wondering if i could get some help identifying it. He was all black with small purple bands all over him, and was about 2 meters long. I am...
