Hi all,

Here is a little guy i relocated at work today. It's a juvi Yellow Faced Whip Snake
- Demansia psammophis psammophis.

He had a great litle temperatment and awesome colouring with red running through the mid bodies and a blue through the sides and ventrals and you can't beat the tear drop eye.
I swear he winked as he was released to fight another day

But it's good to educate people, now at work instead of trying to kill herps i get the call to come and remove them instead, the message is slowing getting out there. Thought i would share the pics.

How cute !

It looks like it butter wouldn't melt in it's mouth.

 

[yommy]

it was the 1st yellow faced whip i've seen in a while (excluding black whips which are a dime a dozen in the NTand you encountered almost on a dialy basis) since being back in QLD.
He did have striking colours though.

yellow faced whip snakes are usually very skittish, how did you manage to catch him/her?

Hornet,I think Whip Snakes aren't kept by many people and I think I heard that most are WC and they are hard to breed.I don't know much about it.

Beautiful little snake. I moved a similar sized D p reticulata a few years ago, flicky little bugger, wouldnt sit still.

Moved a nice little childrens out of the kennels the other night. The guys working didn't know what it was and were going to kill it. As I lived 5 minutes from work they rang me instead.
