could have been road kill got eaten buy sumfin that then got road killed and then that road kill which contained road kill gets eaten by another who then also gets road killed!
Am I confusing any one yet? :lol: if not i could keep going...? lol
 
I am guilty of a road kill sadly the only frilled lizard I see in the NT threw itself under my car ran straight in front at full bore on its hind legs and nothing I could do as all to quick, it upset me as this was the first one I had ever seen,I still have the old pic of it but cant seem to upload on this site yet only managed a pathetic profile pic , but hope to sort out soon I remember years ago the local hoons in WA would target bobtails that sat in the road in WA and aim their cars at them I nearly whacked one of them but me mate stopped me, no doubt I would have been the one done for assault. that was in the days when lots of species werent protected.

Could Be......

Not sure about you guys... But if I see road kill.... I always remove it into the bush.... Might save a life or two.....

Just a few - i hate seeing roadkill but it is a really interesting way to find out what species you have in your area and the differeent colour variations you can have too.

IF you read my thread on Stunning Coastal Carpets, you will see last nights road kills in that too.

Here goes........

Aww no:(

Ill photograoh roadkilla s well next time I go herping:)
Ben.
 
its such a shame to see such beautiful animals go to waste,i hit a brownie (i think it was a brown) between adelaide and broken hill, unfortunately it was him or a car coming the other way or the gravel at 110km.. mum took photos, ill get her to send them to me
 
Just got back from a quick trip to the Snowy Mountains. Not as much roadkill as the last time I went down but we did see this DOR Highland Copperhead (Austrelaps ramsayi)

I clipped the tail end of a red belly a few months back, came around a curve in the road and sadly could not miss it, tried to tho. Didnt photo it cos i was in tears. Went back to see if there was anything i could do, had a catchers fone number ready to dial but the poor thing took itsself off into the long grass and i lost sight of it. I can only hope it was not in pain for too long. If only there was something equivalent to roo shoos for reptiles that we could put on our cars, might save some lives,
 
Great but sad pics by Ecosnake I havent been lucky to see a wild moloch only what I think was fleeting glance but only 98%sure ,seeing the road kills is a real piss off bit like me frilled lizard .Also I did not see many road kills of snakes in WA years ago,But the poor old bobtails took the brunt mainly targeted by cretins , traffic was not so heavy in some of the rural bush areas those days keith

our family went up to jinma state forrest over the aussie day long weekend.. seen 2 dead carpets and 2 dead lace moniters... the last had only just been hit.. so sad to see both species as there my favorites out of the pythons and moniters....
 
does anyone know the law as far as taxidermy goes, some of the road kills like the guy i found dont even have a mark on them and it just seems such a waste, my hubby tans his own skins after hunting and i dont know maybe some of the skins could be used
