Hi all you snake lovers, Does anyone know what kind of Australian snake is similiar to the attached pic? We found one in our backyard (Kellyville, Sydney) this evening and are curious to know what it is. Noooo we didn't kill it, we caught it and let it loose in the forest. I've attached a...

Hi All, my Dad found a snake in his garden this arvo and we're not sure what it was. We live in WA and he lives close to a nature reserve/conservation area. The nearest pic we found was of an Indian snake a "Banded Krait". I'm assuming the snake must have slithered away again.

Seeing its getting colder which leads to a decline in herping threads (plus I'm just bored on a Sunday night) I thought I'd throw up some pictures of the snakes I have photographed so far this year. Majority of pics have maybe been seen before. Cheers. Bandy Bandy Vermicella annulata Brown...

I've been herping the Sunshine Coast area of Queensland on and off for several years, and have found almost all snake and larger lizard species. Enough to show this comprehensive photo library of the reptiles I have seen. Here's the snakes.. The coast is home to around 21 different species...

Ok, so I was talking to a mate of mine and flicking through the elapid thread, and it got me wondering, how many female ven keepers are actually out there? That actually own them on their license and not just their other halves owning them etc...? And got into keeping hots, on their own accord...

I'm just wondering how many people are on here from in and around Rockhampton QLD? Interested in finding some local herpers to chat to :)

Over the last month or so iv managed to find the time for a couple of day trips down to Ku ring gai to have a look around and see what i could find.The first trip was really good weather, around 27 deg during the day and cooling off to about 20deg at night. Some pics from my first trip:

Tuesdays night trip was one that you dream of. Lots of interesting and ( surprisingly ) co operative animals. I had my eye in, the car ran well and it was a warm and pleasant night. Until I got home.... While uploading the files from the camera to the computer the computer crashed - then became...
