Pics include. Dead Colletts, spencer monitor, dead desert death adder, dead black head, yellow spotted monitor, central bearded dragon and 2x western brown snakes
 
Nice mate, shame about all the road kill....were the browns the only live snakes you found?
 
Nice pics..the Desert Death Adder is actually a Dajarra

Cheers,
Scott
 
nar that adder we found was out of (antarcticus) range we found it right over near the borded of NT and there is only (pyrrhus) there.

You definately get antarticus on the QLD/NT border near Camoweel and into the NT. It is definately not a pyrhus, the djarra colouration that Scott is refferring to, is widespread across NW Qld and into certain sections of the NT.
 
we found this guy near birdsville have a look at a distribution map and you will find there are no antarcticus there.
 
Definatly A. antarcticus.

Any pictures of the moon snakes?
 
G'day mate,

A.antarcticus are definitely occur near Birdsville. Distribution maps are terrible for identifying species - they are just very general guides. As an example, check out the distribution map for Delma borea in 'A Field Guide to Reptiles of Queensland' and then look at the actual locality of the photographed animal.

Cheers
 
should have let go of the browns tail and tried for a full body shot
 
The Dajarra adders aren't A. antarcticus either - molecular studies have shown them to be close to so-called "hill-form praelongus" and the New Guinean A. rugosus.
