Nice one Baz. Woodpile looked a bit smaller than the last one I saw you sifting through!

Nice snakes, everyone; enjoying this thread!

Here's another EB from today. Very fat and lumpy toward it's bottom end, so I suspect gravid. Apologies for so many pics, but these guys would have to be one of my faves.

And another; this one I had in care for a while now, due to that infamous nylon bird/garden netting product and severe dehydration as a result of being caught in the sun for several hours. Feeds and poops well now, with no apparent neuro problems, so all good.

Great looking eb Richard.
Is that one of my black bags in the 1st pic?
How are they going with brown snakes?

I took some videos today while releasing some snakes at Mt Martha which Ill chuck up later.
The ranger was there snapping away to so I must get her to email those pics.
Here is one of the vids from today.

Certainly is mate! I use these on every EB relocation now and I couldn't be happier! No more big Brownies bouncing off the bottom of the bag and back into my lap anymore, and I'm getting pretty quick on that drawstring now.

Very nice EB there SR, thanks for sharing.

thanks mate, the eb in the top pic put on quite a display, almost like a sidewinder, the typical s pose with the flatened neck, almost black for most of his body, have to be my favourite ven.

Great pics SR, I hardly ever see browns here and never a yellow faced whip.
That 1st pic is a keeper.
The bags are better once they have been worn in and had a wash Richard.
When they are new they aren't as flexible.

Big Brownies bouncing out of bags was a problem I encountered with my other type of bags Baz, never with your ones! Partly because yours are a good 30cm deeper I'd guess.

So far everyone who has gotten a bag from me is wrapt with it saying
the extra depth, the draw string, the way it attaches to any hoop shape or size,
the heavy duty double stitching and overall quality of this Aussie made bag makes it the best.
Anyway, enough advertising, here is another video that ranger Sue took yesterday of the copperhead release.

Here's a recent one

 

[snakerelocation]

relocated eb

here is a catch from yesterday afternoon, the bugga was under a site shed, so i had just over a foot of room to work with on my stomache, and half way under it. not easy to get a brown when your at his level, knowing he will be ten times quicher than you are.....

 

[Herpaderpa]

That's an Eastern Blue, not an Eastern Brown! Those Logan Brownies are real stunners.

 

[snakerelocation]

what really gives me the pipps tho, is that i get a call to hundreds of large carpet snakes a year, never have any problems being paid for removing them, then we get small vens like the easter browns and red bellies (when compared to a 12" carpet) and trying to get money out the prics is impossible, do they think we risk our life to a deadly eastern brown or taipan just for the hell of it, yeah i enjoy it no doubt, but wish they would think about what im risking... its not just as simple as putting a bandaid over the two little insignificant puncture wounds....
it realy gets me wound up...

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

Those brown snake pics are great elapidae.
And that blue brown snake is pretty special to SR..
