Bandy-Bandy by Steve Sass
Another pic of a Bandy-Bandy Vermicella annulata. This species is relatively widespread across eastern Australia. Recent research suggests that this species uses chemical cues to located blind snakes under the surface on which it feeds almost exclusively on. This specimen was found near Moree in north-western NSW.

Golden Look by Carla Jandelle Petters
This beautiful land snail was out munching on freshly wet leaves in the undergrowth of the wooded area my son and I were hiking. The fresh rain helped so much as it’s been incredibly dry this spring (compared to the last 4 years) so when it came everything came out including me. / The color to this fellow was so spectacular it just GLOWED…very hard to miss among all the browns. Normally the ones we see are brown so this gold was a surprise. / My son and I have raised these the last 4 years….I can’t resist their shells when I find them….they’re just BEAUTIFUL to me! Amazing little creatures (who eat my mushrooms!).

Keelback and a Giant Burrowing frog by Nephrurus
We found thii keelback trying to devour this Burrowing from in the North Kimberley. The frog was alive when we found the two, but eventually died after about 30 minutes, by about the time the snake got both back legs down it’s throat. The remaining 1.5 hours we watched the snake struggle and struggle to get the arms in his mouth. We ended up leaving it not knowing the result, needing a few short hours sleep before checking traps the next morning. -H

Waiting for Dinner by Nephrurus
This Stimsons Pythons was found hunting for frogs on a creekbed that had dired up to a few stagnant pools. THere were many Desert Tree Frogs and Green Tree Frogs hopping around the edge of the pools. Presumably this what this python was after.

Suta portrait by Nephrurus
This is a Myall Snake Suta suta from Terrick Terrick NP, Central Victoria. We didn’t have much luck locating plains wanderers, but we did find a couple of these little fellas. They seem to be moving about at the most unlikely times, moonlit nights; cold, windy nights, etc… It was nice seeing some, all the same. -H

New to Science by Nephrurus
This spectacular snake is relatively new to science. Described only a few years ago, the Pygmy King Brown Snake Pseudechis weigeli is found in rocky areas in northern Australia. It is superficially similar to the King Brown Snake Pseudechis australis but differs having maximum size of only 4ft (King browns are much larger), a finer, thinner head and undivided sub-caudal scales. Although no fatalities have been recorded from this species they should be treated with extreme caution.
