So I thought I'd post a thread sharing some of my photo's from this years sightings. I've been able to find a whole heap of new species for me in my local area, a rather broad definition of the word 'local' too. I will start with reptiles from the newcastle-central coast vicinity... Red belly...

Hi all. I am interested in how many keep, or have kept Stephens Banded Snakes. They are one of my favourite elapids however very few people seem to keep them and fewer keepers seemed to have bred them - or bred them consistently anyway (I know of a few people who seem to have bred them once by...

Hi, Wanting to buy a female Stephens Banded Snake. Sub-adult/adult preferred but will consider any age/size. Must be legally acquired specimen, captive bred preferred. Message me or call on 0427039540.:D

I found this on the footpath this morning in the middle of sydney. Was under powerlines so i dont know if a bird had it and dropped it or where it came from. What the hell is it? Some sort of corn snake?

I am after a female SBS, please send pm or email [email protected] or call 0437077792

hey all I was going through the forums and I came across this snake. But the details on the availability is a bit old [2007]. I was wondering if anyone knew someone that breeds them, or works with them? they are a really neat looking snake, needless to say.

Hi all you snake lovers, Does anyone know what kind of Australian snake is similiar to the attached pic? We found one in our backyard (Kellyville, Sydney) this evening and are curious to know what it is. Noooo we didn't kill it, we caught it and let it loose in the forest. I've attached a...

Does anyone know where i can find the list of herps you can keep on a recreational license in QLD?

HI All, Are you able to keep GTP's in QLD on a standard Recreational Wildlife Licence. I have looked on the epa sight and I'm still not 100% sure. My license says; Conditions for: Keeping live commercial and recreational reptiles and recreational amphibians Agency Interest: General A1G1...

Hi All, I'm a newbie and dont own reptiles, but have a property where they happily live. My 1st question for the forum is. I caught a Stephens Banded Snake in the aviary yesterday , it is fully mature but very placid. Does anyone have experience with this breed of snake ?

hi just wondering where some ideal spots to herp on the gold coast would be thanx

Finally took the new 4WD out for her 1st proper herp trip last night, came across a few animals, most were camera shy and was impossible to get some pics of them, especially the grumpy Stephens that kept trying to eat the camera, therefore had to take photo's without looking through the view...

I finally taken the troll out for a couple of dirt trips and did some spotting. I saw thousands of snakes, unfortunalty most were Barkus barkus and Brownus stickerii :). Real snakes have been a bit thin on the ground with only a cute BTS in a public toilet ( no photos, sorry) and a large...

On New Year's Eve I was kickin' it old school, by driving up a mountain to look for crocodiles. We didn't find any crocodiles, but we did come across some other reptiles.

I went out herping the other night and came across a beautiful little bandy bandy. Its the first and hopefully not only time I have ever seen one. Now I am curious about how I can go about owning one, if possible. I assume that because they are venemous, they can't be kept on a normal...
