Where abouts around Flinders St Station do you find them?

Wow, I've never seen one of those Lacey Sandy crosses in Victoria before. I don't know why, but it's so exciting seeing a new species in Victoria, even if you've already seen it elsewhere. Great picture! Have you seen many Rosenberg's out there?

You've got to remember that most of the younger "herpers" primary interest is "can i keep these in a plastic box".

-H

Better than the old herpers keeping them in a pillowcase :lol:

You can go to Kangaroo Island and see about a million of them in one day, but even after that it's still very exciting to see one in Victoria (or in my case, would be :lol: ).

Lol, I'm still shattered they didn't pick me up on the way, but fair enough they wouldn't have had time to...

 

[Jay84]

The night temps are 14 and 15 the nights we are going. Day temps are up to 32! Early evening should be fine?

[auote]The older Victorian herpers will all be familiar with this snake[/quote]

I assume that Bardicks have declined in Vic in recent years? Does anyone know why? I thought that they might be uncommon in Vic due to it being marginal habitat on the eastern periphery of their range. I can't imagine that grazing pressure has increased much in recent decades. More frequent droughts?

Bardicks are great. You can find plenty of them on the south coast of WA. They behave like little death adders, but with those beautiful golden eyes, and of course, the bonus side-winding and hyper-aggression.
