No not a diamond but a diamond/coastal intergrade found on Mid-North Coast. She is a beautiful girl. I loved her. I even gave her name - LUCY. I wonder how she is doing. I hope she is still alive and well.

Henry always has to come along and take the attention away You have incredible talent with your camera. I guess its time I started learning how to use my camera to see if I could take pictures as good as that. I love the little gecko. He is cute.

Here is a murray darling I found on the Murray River in SA.

Kath, it's all practice, and I always take alot of photos and select the best. I still take some very ordinary photos (which I delete). I particularly like you jacky dragon photo and the carpet being defensive. They are both great looking animals.

OP: Well done finding a Murray Darling carpet on the murray. I hope you informed the NPWS of this sighting... I believe they are a listed species in SA and any information as to remaining populations would greatly benefit their protection and conservation.

This is one I snapped up at Fraser Is. Didn't mind his picture being taken at all.

 

[mysnakesau]

Thats a beautiful monitor Banjo. Lacy? I can never tell when they get further up the coast. All those biggies look the same, to me. I love the dark ones with the pronounced yellow markings. I especially like the dark lacies that look like they are wearing muzzles around their mouth. I have seen a few juvenile lacies from our area. Their markings are beautiful and some of the lines on them even look blue. Now blue tape around the mouth looks really cool

nothing flash here, but these are some wild pythons, I have only seen 3 subspecies of pythons in the wild, including

2 Morelia spilota mcdowelli (scotts head, byron bay)
about 10 Morelia spilota (intergrades) I have seen all these up where I am, I do not see these very often, once I did spend 3 days looking for them at a friend house in the mountains, we found the last one on the last day on the roof of an old shed, I see most around our house, we only just recently started seeing them, as one was brumating in our wood shed.
3 Morelia spilota spilota (north sydney, ourimbah)

anyway here are the pics, the head shot and the pair are diamonds, the other 2 are intergrades. these are actually the best pictures I have got as I have never really photographed them much, which I regret. I have no pics of the coastals as they were 3 years ago before I even started to use a camera, only just started photographing 2 years ago, before that I used to just look for them, now I mainly go to photograph them.

anyway they are nothing flash, but will post them anyway, some of you may have seen some of them before
