Hi Everyone,
My partner and I went Bushwalking on the weekend just past, out in Springbrook National Park in South East Queensland. We did a 4hr walk, and spotted a few herps for our troubles!
I tried to put the pics in this message, but I can't seem to get it to work. Have to settle for url's.
The first one we saw was very obviously a Red Belly Black snake. Very nice little specimen it was too, sunning itself casually on some rocks right next to the walking track.

The second we saw we think is a Stephen's Banded Snake. They are common to that area, apparently. He was also very close to the walking track, but was well camoflagued. Luckily, he didn't seem to mind us clambering down amongst the bushes and shoving our camera in his face.

The last snake we saw we're really not sure about. We thought it could be some variety of whip, but we really don't know.

We also saw a gigantic Land Mullet. Damn thing was MASSIVE! Must've been 2ft long!

So, we had a very herpiful bushwalk. Anyone know what that third snake might be?
