Hi guys, This little guy was spotted this morning at the back of my work and wanting to clarify what it is... the only thing I can see that is close is a yellow faced whip snake... but it does not have the black tick underneath the eye Thanks for your help!!

My apologies for anyone who has already seen this post from Field Herp Forum but I thought I would include it here too.... I have finally got time to sit down and do a write-up of a trip me, my girlfriend and friends and family members did in October. It was a combination of business, pleasure...

Hey Everyone I was looking at my feed on Facebook and a friend of mine was tagged in this photo ( not the one holding the snake ). The guy said its a common tree snake but I strongly disagree I'm not trying to name and shame him on his I.D skill but I told him to be careful in picking up animals...

ok so just failed at attempting to catch a small snake about 15 cm(make that 20/25cm just looked at a ruler ) that looked very much like a young golden crowned snake , only thing thats got me thinking that it might not be is that it was in a very dry/hot area in my backyard in amongst a heap of...

This morning I was moving a bit of tarp that had been laying around for a year (or two I can be incredibly slack at times). There was this little fellow coiled up in amongst leaves that had been covered by the tarp. Of course, in typical Childrens style it decided the way out of the situation...

hey everyone, quite curious on how hard elapids are to keep? are they hard? or is it the fact that there venomous make them seem hard to keep? and what would be a good elapid to start with? brown tree snake (night tiger), etc? cheers. jesse.

Just after an ID of this snake as it was in my house and the cat found it... The snake is saf... is it a venemous snake and is it harmful to my cat???

My sister refuses to keep her cats confined, and they are constantly killing stuff. There's usually at least one mouse or rat on our front porch almost every day, which is bad enough, and every time I catch them with something live, I take it off them and hold on to it for a while to make sure...

Assisi and Spello Here is part II of my Italy report. In October, my wife and I spent a number of days in Florence (Firenze). Our stay was split by a short visit to Assisi. The weather during this portion of the trip cooled rapidly and we had several rainy days. Birding was not too bad and...

Last year was my wife's 60th birthday and I surprised her with tickets to Rome. My wife loves Italy more than any other country in Europe. She wanted to travel in September and October while the weather was still warm but the summer crowds were absent. We therefore delayed the trip until this...

Yesterday I opened the front door and this snake was happily laying there. I did manage to take a picture and would like it identified. The snake then made it's way under the house where I store many things. Is it a variey that I should be concerned about? Regards Mario

Hi all, a friend sent me this picture of a snake they found while out swimming in a lake, its got me puzzled anyone got an idea of what it could be? At first i thought gts, i may be right but im not too sure. Also one of the pics i have enhanced for a better view.

While doing my regular toad patrol at home tonight I took some photos of other night prowlers. Slaty-greys are out all year round mostly getting into the fish (natives) in my ponds. I've seen up to 4 different individuals in a night, but mostly only 1 or 2. The Night Tigers are less...

I work at the Australian Reptile Park and i am in love with elapids and venomous snakes. unfortunately if i ever want to be a venom keeper i need a hell of a lot of experience to stand out. I have had no venomous snake handling experience apart from a snappy juvenile brown tree snake. in looking...

Hi all I am considering getting a snake but am unsure as to what type of python to get or are there easier snakes to keep than pythons?

Any one else find the latin (scientific) names of some reptiles frustrating? For example, I always though amyae was pronounced Am-yay but I've been told its ay-mee-ee? So how do you pronounce Amyae? Also, I've always pronounced Levis as its spelt Lev-is. Is that correct?

Hi guys , went to a mates house yesterday and took some pics of his snakes. Please note i am still learning how to use camera haha

There are 3 threads on ball python x this and that, people wanting exotics, jags, etc, etc.. Is the colour of the snake all that people admire? If it is, that's pretty sad and demonstrates the shallow interest in reptiles. "colourful pets" - is that all? I apologise for the negativity in this...

Can anyone ID this guy? Found on the road on North Head in Sydney.

My cat found a snake and started eating it. I'm in Sydney. I think it looks brown-snake-y, but wouldn't mind a second opinion.
