Since arriving in Australia 4 months ago, I've had the chance to spend a lot of time herping in and around SE Queensland, and have been lucky enough to be shown some fantastic spots by a mate local to the area. Our time is coming to an end in this area, as we're heading north to Cairns for Xmas...

Well while you haven't seen a hundred threads, that doesn't mean I haven't been out frantically herping every night since my last thread. I've finally gotten some pictures of some snakes and a dodgy shot of a leaftail which I promised myself I would get before making this thread. So here we go...

Is it possible to tell if a red belly black snake is pregnant from a distance? I saw one not far from my place today (I live near the bush) and its back end was larger by a fair bit than its front end, would it have been pregnant or would there have been something wrong with it? Didn't look like...

Hey everyone! Found this forum a few days ago when I started looking for snakes after going to my first mixed LFS ( local fish shop ) that sold some pythons! I keep fish on a large scale redoing my fishroom now as have just moved but I am in love with snakes I never showed much interest as I...

I would love to see pics of wild animals that people have caught on camera themselves all in the one spot, i will start as soon as i have some, so hopefully we can see some cool animals in their natural evironment and give people another reason to get outdoors!!! Cheers Mo :D

Found a new spot very close to home that seems to be a hot spot for RBBS. To visit it you have to be prepared to walk in long grass where you know there are venomous snakes residing. I'll have to visit it when it is a lot cooler, up here on the Sunny Coast RBBS are (for the most part) very shy...

I was holding my stimson tonight and as she was moving over my hands i felt a rough patch on her tummy. I flipped her over and her stomach has a 5cm length of red, dry, scaley like skin. From the side i can see scales picking out. The rest of her is smooth. What could it be? She shed her skin...

G’day everyone. I’m fairly excited for the VHS Reptile and Amphibian Expo in Melbourne next Feb and was talking to some friends last night that plan to take multiple thousands of dollars and have a list of 4 snakes they wish to purchase there. I had already been thinking and planning my own list...

Is it a Small Eyed Snake, Rhinoplocephalus nigrescens.

Last night I dreamt that I was in the national park. While taking a leak on a tree I looked Up to see a Carpet draped lazily over a branch, I was afraid to grab it knowing that it could land me in trouble but eventually reached up and took it mid body, it was very placid and made no attempt to...

Did a bit of herping this morning (trying to get a shot of a local RBBS) and found this little guy, properly the smallest snake I've seen ( except for blind snakes). Very uncooperative little sod but better than the RBBS, they just turn and run ( I have the same effect on women)

I am currently writing an expository as part of my year 12 english, arguing whether or not snakes should be de-venomised and would like to hear some of the different views people have on the issue. Thanx

On my Bucket list is an Olive............ held one a Manly Aquarium once and it was huge....addicted from then on to Olives.....now just need to get the kids to move out so I can convert a room or two.

Guys and girls I realise that it is spring. My blues are in an enclosure outside and have had minimal heating this winter to try and induce breeding. They are captive bred that I received from the Hobart Herpetological Club The male is 11 years old and my female is 6 years old. I think she...

I had a friend over last night and I let her hold my water python while I cleaned out her tub. She wrapped herself around my friends wrist, and then started heading towards her water bowl. She then slithered right into it had had a lovely little swim, she seems to be enjoying herself :)

I went for a walk today around blue gum hills regional park near Minmi and came across a beautiful green tree snake. It was crossing the dirt path about 30 metres in front of me, stopped, lifted its head about a foot off the ground watching me and then as I quickened my pace to get closer for a...

The coastal was about 2.8m - 3m long thicker then my arm and the RBB was about 1m

Keen to see some pics of your red-bellies and there enclosures.

My partner is just getting his ven licence and wants to get a RBB. I said it has to be top colour, you know black with top red or top blue. As babies, can you get a good idea of how they will turn out colourwise??

Whats your views on killing cane toads? I personally think freezing them is ok as its humane, but some people I know will go out on a hunt with a golf club and sledgehammer and beat them to death. Just because theyre pests doesnt mean its okay to torture them and kill them horribly, theyre still...

call me a noob but im just curious, what exactly makes a person "experienced" enough to own venomous snakes? i think i read that they have to have a written recommendation by an experienced handler, but what makes them so experienced? by no means do i want one in my possession, im just curious...

Hey everyone, What herps are in your area? Feel free to add pics. Thanks, James

As title says, handling venomous snakes, what's your opinion?

While searching for an eel ID I stumbled on this Fishing Snake NOTE: first picture link doesn't work.

I want to see if there is a way to get a relatively accurate idea of a snakes length and girth from the gait on their slide marks. If you know a rough ratio i'd love to hear it or if you have pictures of slide marks from animals of a known approx length and girth (particularly pythons) can you...
