My trip must have coincided with snake kindergarten being let out. First was his guy at only 400mm - if that

What a cutie! I love BTS

Then this guy at only 200 to 250 though that is near adult for this species. I have to point out I'm still only 500 meters into my regular 'route'

a few non-herps

then back to the adults - who says coastals aren't beautiful.
We stayed the night out near some cliffs and in the morning I saw a colony of black-footed rock wallabies. No pics so it might not have happened but I think I'll be spending a few mornings back there with a telephoto to keep me company.
Also found a new area that just screams herps - dry sclerophyll and granite Hopefully I'll be able to get there next weekend for spotlighting

That is a golden crowed snake, a very common snake around here but, being nocturnal, is rarely seen.
I'm very surprised no one has commented on pic 2, considering how rare that snake is .

Nice pics, Dwarf Crowned Snakes I find to be very common, I find more resting during the day than active at night. You do alot of herping, what snake species are you yet to see on the sunshine coast - South East Queensland?

I have Coastal Taipan, Pale Headed Snake, and then i've seen them all.

 

[ryanharvey1993]

nice pics, matt, have you seen common death adders and red naped snakes now? thanks.

 

[Bench_Warmer01]

Yep I have found 6 new species this summer.

 

[ryanharvey1993]

how about someone take me out, we drove 150km to a place, night drives 50km, drove 150km home and all we got was a few mosquioto bites, a golden crowned snake and a few striped marsh frogs. must have been to cool for most other reptiles

 

[smacdonald]

Get in line, Ryan....
