herping in the St George area

[snakey]

Hi all it's Christian from Andersen's Snake Rescue just thought i'd let you all know that i have been rather busy lately catching eastern browns and red bellies,and one red belly in particular.It was on mon afternoon when i set out on my way to the in laws (half an hour's drive) to have a game of cricket just as i was approaching their road my mobile rang.I thought to myself you've got to be kidding me but i took the call,it turned out the sheila on the other end was telling me they had a red belly in their gutter.I imagined it to be a standard house not raised but when i got there that's exactly what it turned out to be a 2 storey house and they expected me to go up there and catch it so to cut a long story short i ended up there and caught it 4 and a half foot.As the subject's name suggests i'm planning a herping trip to st george in jan some time,hoping to find mulgas and gidgee skinks and a whole lot more especially the woma python that is going to be a great experience i will never forget will send pics if anyone has questions i will be happy to answer them if i can til next time happy herping.

Have a good time Christian, I was out that way in the 70s and saw quite a bit. Take your camera.

If you get a chance, head a little east and do the Glenmorgan - Meandarra rd at night. A real hotspot for Devis's Banded snakes and about the only place you'll see them. A great night run in St george - Surat - Tara - Westmar - St George. Takes about 6-8 hours but you'll see every night thing that area has to offer.
