I thought I would share some photos of some of the snakes that I have encountered over the last couple of years whilst herping. Unfortunately I haven't managed to photograph everything that I have seen though.. yet there are still a lot of species left to tick off! Some of the pictures have probably been seen before, but I thought I had better get a bit of variety in there! :)

Firstly the pythons..

Awesome mate, well done. You could fill a field guide with all those pics!
 
Nice photos mr Summerville,

Shame there wasn't an oenpelli to add to that list lately ;)
 
Wow! Very impressive work.

Although, reading the list, I'm really a little underwhelmed at the common names for most of them.
I can imagine the conversations though...

"I found a new snake!"
"Cool! What colour is it?"
"Brown."
"Well, brown snake's taken. What else has it got?"
"It's got a ring around it."
"Sweet, that'll do, we'll call it the ringed brown snake."
"What about this other one I found? It's little, and it's got spots."
"Little spotted snake it is then."
"But there's one more, It's a lighter brown, but it's got some black markings on it. How about spotted brown snake?"
"NO! That one will be BOCKADAM!!!!!"


:D
 
How can anyone not like snakes they are incredible as are your images, I envy you.
 
I bet Shannon could find one ;)

Or if I didn't have to pick up that car my begginers luck could've helped you lol

Haha she is only good for finding small-eyeds, and as I've told her many times - they aren't a real snake! :p

I'll get an oenpelli next time, I earned it after the effort we put in last time!
