    snakes and other reptiles

    Had a week in Western Qld & came across this snake,any ideas what it is,my guess it is a brown?It was around 1.6m long.




    This pic is not very good,but this was a very large snake,around 2.5m long at least.As soon as it saw us it headed off into the long grass.It was by far the largest snake i have ever seen on this property,we have been going to the property for over 35yrs.King Brown?




    A few of these around as well,dunno what they are called?



    And a few of these as well,we call them Shinglebacks

    Sorry,

    The brown wriggly rope like thing is a serpent, and the hoppy thing in hand is definitely a frog. They have at least one thing in common - most serpents like to eat frogs.....

    The lizard with the blue tongue is not a blue tongue lizard.

    However it is a kissing cousin Tiliqua Rugosa commonly known as Bobtail, Stumpy Tail or shingleback. Very common and easy to keep, mainly vegetarians

    The frog is a Salmon striped frog.. it burrows underground or under logs and rocks to avoid drought..

    The Snake looked like a Brown Snake to me, and I think that was a pretty good photo all things considered, not as though you would want to get up close for a shot. Not sure what type the other pics are. Just a frog and a lizard.
