Just some pics from a quick frogging trip through northern NSW. Conditions wern't that great surprisingly and despite the heavy rains most sites were fairly dry and cold. Still got a variety of herps however: Frogs: Assa darlingtoni Adelotus brevis Crinia parinsignifera Crinia signifera...

G'day everyone, I realise that I don't have much information to give here but I thought I'd try my luck anyway. My cousin says he has a small snake living in his garden. He says it's definitely not a python. It's about 1ft long so it's probably still a juvenile. It moves very fast and it...

I am looking at getting a yellow faced whip snake, it would be my first snake, so I'm not really sure what size enclosure to get for it. Also any tips on feeding, temperature etc. would be appreciated. Thank you.

I just found these two blokes stumbling around the aussie bush lookin for snakes on youtube. Not the brightest sparks in the box. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjDaoUmREZo About the 8 min mark an RBB slithers up his shirt! Quite the funny scene

Found this little fella dead in the driveway last night and am just wondering what it is! Any info would be good... Cheers, Dave

One morning while staying at Mission Beach, QLD, I got up at 3:30 am and drove south for three hours to Mt. Elliot in Bowling Green National Park. This park is situated a little to the south of Townsville. I wanted to arrive soon after sunrise since lizards at that time of the day tend to bask...

Well seems they are alot more active now, unfortunately, in the wrong areas. In the last 3 days I have seen 3 dead Carpets on the road, absolutely HATE seeing dead snakes. My stomach drops every time I see something long and thin on teh side of the road, normally its just a shredded tire, but...

This is part 2 of the Exmouth area report. Once again, it is a combined report of animals that I found with my son in November, 2005, and with a friend in February, 2007. We saw a number of Burton's Snake-lizards (Lialis burtonis) in November but none in February. All of those in the...

This is a great time of the year to see a variety of reptiles. Young of the year are everywhere and all of the reptiles seem to be actively searching for their final meals before the arrival of winter. Yesterday, the weather was perfect so I went for a long walk at Royal. Last Saturday, I...

Ahoy, After an I.D. on this guy we found at cedar creek, just outside of Brisbane. I'm thinking whip snake of some sort, but if it's not a python I got no idea... Damn I hope these pictures upload properly...

Hey Guys, RBBS are supposed to be one of the lesser venomous snakes eh? I attempted to force feed my poor little Otis as he will only eat live food - I just cant get any food for him now as winter nears. He turn his nose up at live mice etc etc etc. He is always been a reluctant biter, as they...

Hello everyone, I just got back from a holidays in the whitsunday islands and while there i found the most beautiful tiny little snake in the bush. He was about 2-3 ft, and about as thick as a finger. Green to olive colouring on top with little white stripes across his eyes, but the most...

I went up to see the "Australian Venom Zoo" in Kuranda the other day and i was very unimpressed of the little tin shed to say the least. For starters, I was taken on a guided tour of this so called zoo, and the first thing i saw was the boyds forest dragon, which was dead... there was a grand...

Last night my wife spotted what she though was a snake which was jet-black with a white line running down its back. Could some shed some light on the this, is it a local Darwin python or a snake or even a lizard? Regards Hutchy

I've just been cleaning up some old files on the computer and found all of these. They were all taken between 4-7 years ago i think, on a film camera and would have been scanned to the computer a few years back. Hope you enjoy them as much as i just did, so many memories.. :)

My friend found this on the mid-north coast of NSW (Coffs Harbour). Sorry, the picture isn't very clear.

We have just caught a White Eyed Whip Snake on our verandah. Now sitting in a bucket. It is definately not a Yellow Faced Whip Snake. How venomous are these little fellas please? Cheers Cheryl. PS Will take a pic and post it here asap.

My brother found this poor little snakey on a job site today (townsville) it was with a few others who slithered away (one fell victim to his bobcat) :cry: but this little guy is obviously injured and wasn't moving on. He brought it to show me on his way to releasing it in the bush. Pics aren't...

Hello to every one, would any one here be able to identify this small snake that was found at my dads place. I think that it may be a Keel back but I am not sure, these snakes appear to be reasonably common to our area and the old man has sighted numerous specimens in the past. We live on the...

Someone gave me this article, to save you reading it it says that carpet pythons over 5.5m :shock: had been found near Kaimkillenbun(near bunya mountains in Qld). While a small article in a paper is not 100% proof i think its highly possible its true. It comes from the Dalby Herald 13 july 2006.

Hi down the bush where i live (sydney) theres alot of snakes near a water pipe so when i go down here i see them. i dont know what type it is its small and brown but not very aggressive

It's a pretty unfortunate situation in NSW where species such as Yellow-faced Whipsnakes, Golden-crowned Snakes, Swamp Snakes etc are extremely rare in captivity. In fact if you want to keep a venomous snake, it is quite likely you're first is going to be the dangerously venomous Reb-bellied...
