what's the biggest Carpet that you have seen and photographed in the WILD??

[dougie210]

I found 3 wild carpets 1 F and 2 M in combat, then one male proceded to mate her. She was atleast 9-10 feet. They lived in a bat colony so that would explain their size. She had some issues with her mouth and in hindsite i should have caught her up and shipped her off to a carer.

Wow that would of been good site!

you mention possible exceptions, well that is where the grey area begins isn't it? as has been mentioned who decides where the "possible" comes into it?

everything we do in life has a bearing on wildlife, that is why we have lost so many species to extinction, yesterday i saved a frog from being eaten by a tree snake and i felt fine about it! and yes, i probably would try and save the lorikeet if i thought it would survive, if the quoll had already killed it then fair enough though.

love the comment on getting the animals to change their practices because it inconveniences us - great argument there! between the name calling and your already issued infractions i can see you have been in some good debates already!

:shock:

Can we just talk about big carpets? I've got nothing more to say to you.

Here's one that was about 9ft, i've posted the pic before and it was a call out.

One I relocated. Not sure of his length...

Hi all,

I thought we found a big one....3250mm or 10'8 in the old scale total length.

This animal was measured using carefully photographed (directly above) and calibrated image and scaled...rather than stretched to a tape and string.

Anyway here is the pics...

It was found in South East Queensland (I have a permit that allows me to capture and disturb reptiles as part of a scientific research permit)

These pics are not the ones used for scale.

The bulge is suspected to be a macropod.

Cheers,
Scott Eipper

For those with accurate measurements are you quoting TL or SVL?

 

[Jonno from ERD]

Haha Scott, you're getting bald and fat!

 

[redbellybite]

awwwwwwwww scott bulge in the snake is thought to be a macrapod..........................

 

[lector]

All true, except it wasn't released. It was kept, to cross with a Scrubby. Makes me feel sick.

Well that all depends on who you believe. The animal was definately released but certain scum did there best to find out where and to recapture the animal. I would be interested in whom you believe has the animal...

I'd like to know how you are sure it went back. Were you there?
And if the rumor mill is correct, i'd say it was the bloke who was supposed to have put it back.
