New herper in Brisbane needs helpi

[AlexandreRoux]

Hi everybody !

I'm now arrived in Brisbane and this place is all new for me that's why I will be really pleased to meet some people and to herp with them.
I'm with a Working Holiday Visa, I think I'm going to live next to Norman Park and I don't have any car so you understand...

Of course if you want to help me to herp there and come on the field looking for reptiles I will be really happy !
I think there are some places I can go with my Go card but if you want to go with a car I'm ready to pay my part !

Let me know if you are interested, just mail me ([email protected]) or text me (+6170478684733).

Have a nice day !

Alexandre

Same here Drazzy.. At the moment I just wander around the Sunshine Coast and get excited whenever I happen to see something cool haha.. Best for me was a sea snake while kayaking

To the OP, if you ever visit noosa during your stay, happy to take you out on a few walks

 

[Drazzy]

Trying to make my yard more of a native habitat for native reptiles and amphibians, then I can herp in my own property line

oh yes forgot to mention to the OP I am SE Brisbane Suburbs.

I should start doing tours! 2 cans of mother and a bag of wingdings per person and you gotta deal!

If you want to herp in Brisbane, the walking trails around Mt Cootha won't disappoint. Been there many times and always see something reptilian

Hi everybody and thanks for answer !

As I'm a backpacker looking for job, I will also be ready for a trip !
So maybe I'll ask some of you if I can come to herp one or 2 days (maybe with accomadation???).
[MENTION=17497]MrThumper[/MENTION]; We plan to go there tomorrow, what species have you seen there?
I've heard about Carpet python in the botanic garden?

 

[HerpBooks]

Not so much carpet pythons, but green tree snakes are almost a certainty. When you walk through the indoor cactus shed you will see their shed skins hanging from the roof. You will also see an abundance of water dragons and water skinks.

 

[AlexandreRoux]

Nice !
I'm moving there in the afternoon !
Until now, I've seen Water dragons (many many manyyyyyyy), Water skinks, Saw-shelled turtle and Asian house gecko in Brisbane city (and West End).

Looking for more informations on the web, I found a french post telling they saw a Varanus in the Coot-tha botanical garden !

Bellbird Park out at Ipswich is good for a BBQ and herping. There's a resident Lacie there that always comes out to say hi!

Not sure what a wing ding is, are Natcho CC's ok ?

 

[hayden123113]

apparently if you go to mount Isa you can see olives eating crocodiles

 

[insitu]

If you go to Isa you can not only get wingdings but brocbombs also

 

[AlexandreRoux]

First Cane toad yesterday...
Well, more interessant, I found a Green Tree Snake, very nice found !
