These 4 beautiful baby White lip snakes where born while in transit between capture of there mother and release. There are the smallest snakes we have ever encountered at only 12 to 14 cm long they where released separately a few meters from each other.

The mother of the 4 baby white lips was released about 6 meters away from the baby’s in an area with a large population of small skinks (there main food source)

This juvenile Eastern brown snake is showing the beautiful markings around the head that it will lose as it grows. This snake was caught and removed from near the airport.

This copperhead is an extremely colorful and healthy animal, found in a garden in Wonga Park we have found that all the copperheads in the area are as beautiful or more so than this one.

This tiger snake was an active little guy removed from underneath a house in Warburton up in the Yarra Valley, copperheads, White lips and small eyed snakes are also found in this area.

This little whip snake is found up in the northern and western suburbs of Melb, this guy was in the Epping hospital cruising down the hall.

Snakes are not the only reptile we deal with; blue tongues, turtle’s dragons and other reptiles are sometimes in the wrong place at the wrong time and need to be removed. This lace monitor was in a chook shed in Upper Yarra, it had eaten 6 baby chicks and heaps of eggs. He was an old guy with half a tail and covered in massive scars.

Mikes favorite reptiles have to be the monitor lizards (goannas) and out of them the Spencer’s monitor like Sammy our mascot has to be the friendliest, most amazing and in our opinion the best looking of all the monitor species.

Although the Perentie especially as baby’s can out do any Spencer’s monitor in a contest of looks, this is an amazing little reptile that let me take his picture up in Alice Springs.

Perenties are found in the center and west of Australians deserts, and so is this incredible little lizard. The Thorny Devil is an amazing little lizard that only eats ants making it near to impossible to keep in captivity.

This is the most wide spread reptile in Australia, the Burtons legless lizard is a reptile that feeds only on other reptiles. This lizard comes in as many different colours and patterns as the habitats it’s found in.

Burtons are found in rainforest, heath land, desert, bush land, grassland, on the edge’s of wetlands, forests and many other types of environments.

Some like this one have patterns as well as different colouration.

Another wide spread and highly variable lizard is the shingle back skink. This one is an albino that would not survive in the wild, unfortunately for us he was already in the excellent care of a western Australian reptile park. These albino reptiles are also much more valuable than normal ones.

Some of the more unusual and amazing venomous snakes we have come across like this ringed western brown snake are not as common. This species is very common but the colour phase you see here is not, these are one of the very beautiful but deadly snakes.

Crocodile farming such as this is a growing industry in Australia and helped bring them back from the brink of extinction.

Fog dam is one of the most amazing places in Australia to see wildlife. The picture here has a large fresh water crocodile cruising through the muddy water, I nearly stepped on this guy when trying to photograph a small fluorescent blue king fisher eating a baby snake. Although I missed the shot when the croc jumped up and scared the willies out of me.

This Pilbara death adder is also a rare but amazing snake, death adders hide in leaf litter, rocks or loose substrate and ambush there prey using their tail as a lure. This was one of many we found in the North West near Karatha; there was also plain orange death adder’s in the same habitat.

In the South West a separate population of tiger snake is present; these in my opinion are the most attractive tigers. As you can see in the photo the yellow and black on these tigers is vivid and beautiful

Yellow faced whip snakes are a very diurnal (active during the day) snake that is fast moving while hunting its prey of small reptiles and sometimes small mammals. This one was basking on a log in a reserve very close to Brisbane.

Spotted python, up near townsville

This stunning diamond python was not far from Taree in Northern NSW, it was basking in the winter sunlight on the sand dunes just back from the beach.

This pink and red Keel-back or fresh water snake was found eating a cane toad, this is the only species that can eat the toads without fatal effects. This individual was found at Proserpine dam in QLD.’s north with another 7 snakes in the same area

another common snake up north is the Common or green tree snake, they come in a range of colour’s from dark black like this one to green, blue, yellow, brown and grey.

I hope you have enjoyed these photos, look out for more photos in the future, remember all these animals that live around us help us to survive so look after the environment and our wildlife and our children’s future will be secure.
