Red belly rescue last night

[ryno2085]

I just thought ide post a couple of pics for you guys of a rescue i went out to last night.

Got a call late yesterday evening just before sundown about a red belly in someones gas meter box out the back of their house. Im glad the people called because when i got it out it was a beautiful example of a Red Belly. Its about 1.7 meters, maybe a little more.

Had alot of little ones lately its good to get one with a bit of size to it.

Here are a couple of pics.

Photography thanks to Gary Vas

That's not 1.7 metres. Stop holding them by their genitals too.

Nice pic and well done. Looks like a good size.

Good job rescuing it, but yes, one way of really cheesing them off is grabbing them like that

I have real trouble understanding how anyone can't see the beauty in these animals. A job well done!

That's cool I was only pointing out something you may not have been aware of. (I'm just chucking out an observation, I'm not meaning to sound rude or anything )

I think I've got a pic or two somewhere on this site where I'm doing almost the same thing :lol:

its all good i took it the way you intended

ive been doing it for a while now so i do have a good understanding of handling, as i said though i was just trying to get a decent pic.

cheers

why would wet weather prevent you from relocating the rbbs?......so did you release it yet?...
