Punja & Mooses Afternoon in the suburbs :)

[Tatelina]

There was an incident while digging out the pair of browns that we found and the second was wounded in the process, certainly something i wasn't braging about crush. Instead it ruined the find for me and the rest of my day thinking about that poor little brown. However, it was a good day, I loved helping photograph the brown, quite amusing watching the cold little guy trying to be threeatening. He kept trying to rear up and open his mouth but he would rear up to far and fall over backward. The Pics came up a treat mate.

Wohhhhhhhhhhh... You and moose and have just lost respect points.

How hard is it to keep some of your male ego in check and wait until you come across snakes in their wild habitat where you can see them, instead of physically ruining their habitat.
>_<

So it looks like the west suberbs is where some good spots are. Are any of these locations close to one another? And what date's are good for people in Oct so we can try and organise something

 

[shamous1]

Yep

I would do the Ardeer / West Sunshine area of Kororoit Creek personally. People in need of supplies could stop at Brian's (Herp Shop) and pick up. It's seconds away from where he lives.

i think there is a VHS meet that weekend, so it could all tie nicely together.

does the herp shop have a store? i thought they were purely an on-line thing?

VHS meeting is on Friday week from memory.

If you were to go to Brians it pays to ring up and check in advance. The weather might play a big role in whether or not herping would be possible.

 

[cracksinthepitch]

Would love to check out a different area like Ardeer with someone who knows there way around there.I'm leaving for Scotland on the 6th of Oct and will be back in Nov. Will try and make any date put forward.

Sorry Tatelina, there was burrows and holes everywhere. I suppose we got a little carried away with the excitement of the find as we'd been out most of the afternoon in various areas without so much luck as even spotting a garden skink. Not too many trips I've been on where we haven't had to poke around a bit. You guys get it a little easier up north with your diversity of herps and opportunities to spot them basking JMHO.

Generally it's a log or a rock gently lifted and replaced. Nothing is scattered or ruined in the process. What happened the other week to us was very regrettable and unfortunate in regards to that incident, and even seeing how it happened myself still has me wondering how on earth it happened. It was certainly the last thing any of us wanted or expected

:lol: I'm sure we'll all have the reflexes of a cat after a hard night on the turps :lol: What a great mix to have with any potentially lethal snake we find :lol: :lol:

Sounds like I'll need to make a few cardboard cut-outs for myself as I won't be able to attend the upcoming VHS meeting this time I think I'm meant to be posting the other cut-out up to Cairns somewhere :lol:

 

[herpie boy]

yeah.... i think i might get drunk AFTER this vhs meet, the last time i was shagged. appoligies to all i harrased ,hahahaha. is raymond hoser guest speaking again at this meet .lol

 

[moosenoose]

It looked like this last he spoke didn't it::

I hope you're referring to the 'defacement' of natural habitat and not just the accidental death of a native animal.

Just because you walk past several banks a week and they never give you any money doesn't mean you should or can break in and steal. Bad analogy but you get my point.

Hope you guys are more responsible on your next trip out. *gets off high horse and exits thread*

 

[moosenoose]

Oh well, we can't all be as good as you Tatelina. Careful you don't fall off that high horse you're on. There, all my respect should be emptied out by now

 

[m.punja]

Tatelina, moose was very careful how we worked with the habitat not to destroy it. And it was by no chance destroyed when we left. In my excitement something happened that I really regret and nothing you can say will make me feel worse.


So what are the dates and details for this trip

 

[Hetty]

They both feel awful about it, and would take it back if they could. There's no need to rub salt in their wounds. I'm sure they've both learnt from it.

 

[shamous1]

There there Tat

That's O'K. We are all used to you getting on and off your high horse. Make sure you tie your saddle tight next time.:lol:
