Love my job...apart from certain parts as with any profession. At the Caloundra Landfill the other day conducting some baseline water quality monitoring and came across my RBB friend that I see quite often. Most probably a different one each time but I have come across this fella several times...

Serious Question. I always see Death Adders for sale for around $150. This A.) confuses me. and B.)Scares me. It's quite a challenge not too buy one of those cute little snugglesticks.

A friend saw this snake inland at Dingo Tops NSW in a creek. It didn't appear aggressive even though they nearly stood on it. They described it as striped full length. The picture seems to show large eyes. Distribution maps I have suggest tiger snakes come this far down, but rough-scales and...

Apologies Baz, couldn't bump the relocation thread. This one had spots:)!

This is how Sid managed her first day of heat wave...still in the bath at 20:30hours. She did spend time stalking the house earlier. How did your favourite beasties cope today?

Hey guys, On a holiday in Ballina over the Xmas brake and am wondering if anyone knows any spots for herping around here. Ive found wild scrubbys, jungles, bhp's, waters, olives, Womas etc in my herping time but I just realized I'm yet to find a python in nsw yet so would like to tick that off...

This is something that had never entered my mind. I was in with the snakes feeding and i had one of the Tiger tubs out getting ready to feed it so i opened the tub and the snake came up flat out as they do looking for a feed and the next thing the power went out and i was left standing there in...

Hi, I've filmed a couple of interesting interactions between a Tiger Snake and an Eastern Blue-tongue that live not far from me. They were both quite different and under different circumstances. Anyway I thought people might be interested. This encounter was an accident (actually it was my...

Just got back from a few days camping in Augusta, WA. Normally we'd be lucky to find a frog or lizard, and we've been to the same spot 3 or 4 times now. But on the nights we were there, in a space of maybe 10 square metres, there were 20 - 25 tree frogs. I couldnt get many pics, as all I had was...

This snake was in a shed in Arthurs Seat yeterday. When I got there, there was a guy leaning on a rake watching the snake that was now outside the shed. Thankfully the snake was unharmed. Kaz, working her magic with the video, lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I015SXt9q0 Cheers

Do you own one? and if no how come?.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction for information about keeping (and where to buy) legless lizards in Victoria? Thank you.

Hi, I've been uploading dozens of Tiger Snake videos to YouTube over the last year, some really interesting, some less so. Just over a week ago I came across a huge Tiger Snake here in Melbourne that was climbing straight up the bark of a tree. It's something we've all read about but I always...

I found this snake curled up on my kitchen floor this morning at 7.30am. Not sure if one of our cats brought it inside or not as one of our cats was happy to wonder over and sniff it and seem very unafraid and possessive of it. It is approximately 40cm long, has a distinct diamond shaped head...

Had a morning call from a local plummer for this guy. Unfortunately the householder had poured bleach and hot water over him and flushed the toilet several times in an attempt to get rid of him before I was called, so he wasn't a happy chap. Cleaned him up and released at a local water supply...

hey everyone, quite curious on how hard elapids are to keep? are they hard? or is it the fact that there venomous make them seem hard to keep? and what would be a good elapid to start with? brown tree snake (night tiger), etc? cheers. jesse.

My wife got a distressed call from a friend today who's dog was barking at a brown and grey banded snake from a hole under their fence. I went over with no thoughts other than a brown, it had dug under the neighbours concrete pool deck (which is their fence line) I peeked under the concrete to...

Was perfect weather around Vic today, so decided to go out for a herp around the local rivers/parklands with a mate. And although only second day of spring, the changing seasons and some sunlight proved to bring out some nice reptiles :D

I know most people have all seen pics before but here a few pics from my trip to Australian Reptile park I was driving back from sydney and i saw the sign, I had to go. I spent 3 hrs there :( and at least 1/2 of that was with the king cobra. I could have easily spent the...

While travelling through South Australia last month I was given the opportunity to go and see the Venom Research facility at Tanunda. Thanks Nathan for your hospitality and giving me the chance to see you guys in action. Some pics and a video were mandatory of course. This is the dedicated...

hello Aussie herp keepers. I was wondering about the legalities of keeping reptiles in Australia?

Thought you'd appreciate this one Baz, as I know you've had a few of these yourself. Early morning callout (6.30am), drenching rain (flooded creek crossing) and 18K out of town. The strange thing was, she swears she saw it crawl out from under her septic tank! Thought it was my first local Tiger...

Found this juvenile brown snake around Bundoora. When first encountered it was making very little movements due to its cold body temperature when found (was in aestivation). However it soon warmed up from the heat of the sun and started to become more active and started bluff striking, gaping...

My sister refuses to keep her cats confined, and they are constantly killing stuff. There's usually at least one mouse or rat on our front porch almost every day, which is bad enough, and every time I catch them with something live, I take it off them and hold on to it for a while to make sure...

Hi, I've spent a lot of time looking for Tiger Snakes around Melbourne's Eastern suburbs this summer and I've uploaded about thirty videos of them to YouTube. I've got a bit of a backlog too, so I'll continue to add more videos for a while even though the snake season's almost over. Here are a...

Just a discussion topic for my own curiosity and to hear from some more experienced herp guys. Does anyone regularly find hatchlings of any type in the wild? My whole life I have only once come across a hatchling. It was a diamond on a rock face in the bush at about midnight. It's the only...

Hi, This summer I've spent a lot of time looking for Tiger Snakes around Melbourne. I've uploaded more than twenty Tiger videos to YouTube but so far they haven't got many views. There must be lots of people out there who'd really enjoy them so I thought I'd post a link to my YouTube channel...
