Headed up river to kill a few hours this morning for a walk and to clear the head. After being down south last weekend and finding a few small eyed snakes and a broady, I had little expectations of finding much at all but I really enjoy my local national park. There was a number of these little...

Other than Blondie has anyone heard of another wild Albino carpet being found? I was speaking to an old Landscaper up here in Darwin about snakes and he said years ago a fellow he worked with had found an albino python on a job and had it for quite a while. I can't confirm if this story is...

'Missing snake' note rattles Malmö residents - The Local (the original in Swedish is Planerar ormrazzia | Nyheter | Aftonbladet) Note the following in the story (is it a hoax?): "The note described the snake as "a teenager" which hadn't yet fully developed its venomous potential, and...

YouTube - Red-bellied Black Snake eats Tiger (?) Snake stumbled across this on you tube.

When describing a different color variation in Australian lizards, monitors, skinks and dragons is it correct to call them phases or morphs like they do with snakes. Trying to get the terminology correct is always a rather tricky part of entering into a new fancy. Thanks, ~Akwendi.

What I want to know is what makes reptiles so addictive. I started out with just 1 snake and this quickly became 4. I want more but, I am not allowed any more till I have my own house. What do you find is the best bit about keeping reptiles? I just love how snakes they are so adapted to move...

There has to be a way to have reptiles legally exported from Australia because I know of a person here in the United States that has had reptiles exported from Australia and then imported into the United States within the last several years. I've seen pictures and video footage of at least one...

Hi... I don't know if I'm in the right place but I was wondering if anyone knows how I can minimise the number of browns on my property. I was looking at purchasing a dozen of those Sentinel Snake Repellers but on doing some more research have found that they could be a scam. I always...

Hey guys, I went up to Ballarat Wildlife Park a few weeks ago where I saw a Red bellied black in one of the enclosures there. I have to say, I was very impressed. It was very placid, had the most amazing colours of any snake I have ever seen, well besides the albino Burmese there anyway :lol...

After having an in-depth conversation with an associate about the temperament of snakes i came off rather annoyed. Mainly due to their opinion being summed up by: "All snakes are vicious, blood thirsty creatures who will bite someone no matter what" I did inform them that my spotted python...

Got this boy just over a week ago, gorgeous snake, so much better then i was expecting. Quite a pain to work with as any movement and this little fella flicks around madly which also made getting pics quite hard. Got a few decent shots so check them out.

Hi all, Just putting a question out there to everyone. Ignoring all States regulations etc...... What are your thoughts of free handling venomous snakes in public???? Cheers Darron

Thought I'd throw up a pic of a Red-Bellied Black I cought a few years back, at Woodgate Beach near Childers, QLD. The lady reported a "very dark snake with a brown head" so I obviously assumed Eastern Brown. Amazingly, though, it turned out to be a young RBB, about 1.2m and not in the best...

South Aus locality RBBS wanted Cheers

the dodgy newspaper report of two metre redbelly got me thinking, people are always speaking of 6 foot or the slightly longer 2m red belly, but has anyone actually got a pet one this big... or at least reliably measured a wild one this long?

AS he drove along the highway, Troy Vella was troubled by a banging noise from beneath his car. When he arrived at work at Mascot, NSW, he got out to inspect what he thought would be a tree branch Fangs for the lift: Snake shock for driver | News.com.au

Came across this guy this morning. Unusual for the Sunny Coast he was huge, you can see heaps of sub-adult and adult reptiles but old adults are few and far between. Note the size of the head! And very placid, didn't even tongue flicker, all he wanted to do was warm in the morning sun. She was...

So I reckon possums would be damn fine snake food. Since they are in plague proportions In New Zealand, if we paid $1.00 for every body, we could bulk ship them over as a food source for snakes.

Ive had a mini holiday the last week so ive done a few bush walks in the local areas... First walk was in the Coombabah wet lands, Second was Natural Bridge in the Springwood National Park Third was Tamborine National Park... In all 3 places i found Keelbacks (Freshwater snakes) and...

Hi! Can you Id this fella...pic was taken up Mt. Warning. N.S.W. I thought it was a red belly but didnt have a lot or any noticable red to the underside?? Ali.

Sorry guys but this is going to be one of 3 or 4 massive posts, this one covering the Western Brigalow Belt to Mt. Isa in October last year. I will try to leave as many boring species out as possible, the link above it will take you to my unfinished website that is a long way from completion, so...

Hey Guys, So im a tattooaholic, got my first one at 16 and now have 10 all up. Im having a Red Bellied Black snake added tomorrow to my existing sleeve to match a phoenix that is already on there. Alot of people frown on the idea of a vet student with tattoos but i say times have changed and it...

Heya all We found this skin in the backyard. My neighbour told me about brown snakes about a year ago, so I my guess is: brown snake, but I might be wrong, as this is the first snake related remains. Considering the amount of available camouflage (tall weeds), we're a bit worried. Any...

I just found this skin outside my back door. Should I be worried about the kids? I live in Loganholme (between Brisbane and Gold Coast) about 1.5km from the Logan River. Mid-body scale count is 17. I counted 117 ventral scales, but I am obviously missing a lot of the skin. thanks in advance.

Some one asked me recently: "when am I going to be experienced enough to have a GTP?" I thought this is an interesting topic. "Experience" is an uncertain entity with no limits, boundaries or benchmarks, yet we often refer to it as if it was black and white. If you kept two snakes for 20 years...
