OK - tell us about the first time you met a particular herp species. Any species preferbly an unusual one. I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours. Me and a Olive :twisted: IN the early 80s, way before I kept herps, I was diving in Harvey Bay in about 3 meters of water off the...

g'day all well i was just doing a bit of gardening and i came across a clutch of eggs.. and i have no idea what to do with them... should i relocate the "nest" or try incubating them?? the eggs are pretty circular and would be umm half a cm to 1cm in size... any ideas? cheers Megz

Just curious as to why SA Woma's are cheaper than other forms. It is obvious that NT animals are more common than SA animals, so you would think the rarer species would hold more value, but obviously this is not the case here. I have heard its because they are a dull, dark colour as adults many...

HI all, i was wondering why is it illegal to sell reptiles in NSW pet shops. it is kind of silly when almost every state in Australia permits the sale of reptiles in pet shops. I also reckon the NSW license system should follow the Vic license system in have exempt common species such as...

One of my workmates saw this snake near his house (Sydney area) and I was wondering if anyone could help ID it. The markings on the head are particularly interesting.

I bought a coastal carpet python. It was nearly the first time i had seen a hatchling...i have a few large pythons but have only really started to get into it...so i was blown away by the smallness and cuteness of the little guy and parted with my dollars. I have been unable to get it to eat...

This may be of interest to some, personally I had never seen this before, it is a communal nesting site of the garden skink, there must have been over 100 eggs. I found this whilst doing some survey work at a camden golf course.

Hello everyone! Am new to this site and would need some URGENT advice. Have had pythons for a while but recently bought a baby diamond and water. The water is great - eating like crazy but the diamond hasn't eaten now for 4 weeks. At the pet shop they said that he was eating well on 2 pinkies a...

Found this little guy in my house, he seems to be living behind some brickwork inside my house. He looks to me like a Grass skink (Lampropholis guichenoti) ,but I'm not 100% he also looks like a small Eastern water skink(eulamprus quoyii)...

I was sold a Green Tree Snake that was supposedly eating pinky rats. I have had her for some time now and all I can get her to eat is frogs that I catch or Lizards such as garden skinks or water skinks from the creeks near home.I really want her to eat more readily available and healthier meals...

Check out this 20cm cutie (Hemiaspis signata - Marsh/Swamp snake) which was wandering around a mates garden. PS If anyone is selling these we'd be interested :D

Anyone know what species this is?

I am looking at getting for my next snake a Green Tree Snake (Dendrelaphis punctulatus) and would much like it if other people who own such snakes to give a general run down as l have heard some vast different stories, any info would be welcome thankyou.

i am interested in purchacing either a pair of brown/banded tree snakes or common (green) tree snakes. i was wondering if anyone has any usfull info that i should take into account before actually aquiring these specimens? cheers charles
