good work keep it up

Great looking snake! I'm amazed you actually caught it.....from what I've seen of them they are flighty and usually pretty aggro Nice effort!!

 

[swingonthespiral]

yeah she was really laid back.... we caught her just with a jigga (i dont know what u guys call it but the forked stick with elastic on the end)..... and she was even ok with us while we measured her.... unlike the one we got yesterday that was absolutely mental....

good one spiral.. really nice coloured brown too..

 

[little guy]

Not some thing i would encourage,bloody nice brown.you might have got away with it this time i would wonder why it was not bitting was it sick or cold.The brown snake deserve and commands heaps of respect. I hope we do not have a heap of people running around trying to catch browns as we know that only leads to deaths. I am not saying that you cant do it just that is suicidal if done wrong and humans make mistakes. I work with a brown snake that i know would take me out without a hesitation and proves it in the pit every time we put her on the ground.Please be careful.

Very Nice, I certainly wouldn't be that game

Yeah me either, i just use a hook extended ALL the way out...LoL

 

[swingonthespiral]

my housemate is a fully licenced snake catcher and my licence is about 6wks away so we are not inexperienced herpers..... so no i would not recommend this to anyone.... and yes she was very cold which is obviously why she didnt bite our faces off....

and as a previous post on this thread said we did use the right equipment.... thanks for ur concern i just didnt want u to think i was some moron picking up snakes to be cool....

 

[WombleHerp]

[liasis]

If you find any more spiral let us know! I had a huge carpet i assume come through 2 night ago, i didnt see it but i assume its still here. He left a shed right on our doorstep which was at LEAST several times bigger than the shed my 1.5yo coastal does, it was DAMN HUGE!! We moved house and ive been here for only 4mths, and ive already seen, keelbacks, brown tree snakes, eastern browns, common tree snakes, a marsh snake and a few carpets. Its a jungle around here backing onto a big reserve lol. I wouldnt pick one up like the browns lol, but i did remove a large carpet from the road it was basking on and took it to the back of the reserve. Very brave spiral lol!

ohh man! not fair i would love to have any herps come through our place, but there is none... but soon there will be one when i get my snakee

And we've ALWAYS got green tree frogs and also what i think are dwarf tree frogs EVERYWHERE!!! When it rains theres literally 100's of them on our house, on the deck and on the bushs. We have a special 5 that have made the deck their home. I will take a picture next time i remember. All you can see are theyre heads sticking out from one of the pillar beams lol. Lots of Marsh frogs too! Quite a few cane toads aswell but theres still MILLIONS of frogs, way more than toads which is fantastic. Its great, we love it here!

I am glad. Don't try this at home kiddies or you may end up with a choice wet lovebite

thats great...I caught a couple of browns at my house durin summer...
I had one by the tail and she had stuck her head under sone concrete so I was busy trying to get her out..and so i didnt realise that there was another one sneeking up on my left..then he sat up in typical brown position only about a metre and a half away from my arm (easily in his strike range) and scared the hell out of me!!! so i let go of her then bundled him up and took him to a nearby state park....

so i definately promote being carefull with these blokes!!!!

Don't ever assume because an EBs cool it's not as dangerous, at 20 degrees or 40 they are still capable of a quick retaliation.

NEVER!!! under-estimate a brown.....becuase if you do, youll be lucky not to get bitten
