Yeah Dan, I saw your Bocks, if I knew they were that easy to find I would of went for a hunt while in Darwin. I only saw your pics just after I got back.
Interesting Waruikazi, how far from cover was it? Night or day? I have only ever seen one that was chillin out on the mud, although it was a F. lucobalia at night among mangroves at low tide.
I would love to keep any of these mangrove dwellers, along with File Snakes, but I was talking to someone who keeps Enhydris polylepis as well as File's, and said they're much easier to keep. E. polylepis is kinda similar to Cerberus in appearance, although more of a freshwater dweller than Bocks., they would be my choice I think. Although I love the black and white checkers Bockadams have on their bellies!
As said, would be interesting to hear from someone who has kept these snakes, although I doubt we will on here.

Ok wasn't sure you were talking bocs but posted a link of a macleay's not a bocks.
I have only tried looking for them once so I can't really comment on how common they are. But I believe just like with any reptile, if you know the right spot you'll find them. I know another person that was with a group that managed to find all 3 mangrove dwelling species within 10 minutes, different spot to the one we went to though.
I have found them in West Arm - Darwin Harbour on very low tides..usually when slowly trolling along the creeks.
He has a pic and a short speal on the Bocks 2 pics above the Macleays on the same page.
yeah but the link you posted brought up the image of the macleay's... look at the URL
