Darwin Carpet Python – Morelia spilota variegata
Copyright 2008 © Bullock Photos – www.bullockphotos.com
Pale-headed snake (Hoplocephalus bitorquatus). One of the few truly arboreal elapids we have here in Australia. They like to shelter in tree hollows and under exfoliating bark on trees along waterways. They generally eat lizards and frogs, but are capable of delivering a serious bite to a human. Found at Lake Broadwater, a couple of hours west of Brisbane.
Also known as Morelia bredli, the Centralian Carpet Python. / One of the beauties I used to sell at Coburg Aq. One of my first test shots with my new Sigma EF-530 DG ST flash, the prize from POTY2007. SOLD as a Mounted Print in January 2009

Australia has 7 of the worlds top 10 deadliest snakes. This one, the stunning Red Belly Black Snake isn’t in the thop 10 but it will give you a bad time. They can be fairly agressive but by other Australian snakes standards are considered to be not much of a threat. Red Bellied Black Snake / Toronga Park Zoo / Sydney / Australia As is Sony a350x

I actually intended on going up to Paradise Park, up behind Murrurundi, to get some photos of the rocky landscape. I didn’t have a lot of time up my sleeve so I was in a bit of a rush. Anyway, driving along the loose gravel road, I saw this fellow sunbaking… right in the middle of the road. I had to stop to get some photos and he just wouldn’t move!

Found this guy at my home in Emerald Beach, He was a little distracted while shedding his winter skin. I let him go but had trouble identifying him. It would seem that, unfortunately he wasn’t in my Australian Reptles books because he may be the Invader Hemidactylus frenatus! The Asian Gecko’s appeared to now be the most widspread reptile in the world as they stow away and move from country to country! Can anyone give me a positive ID?

Taken with Canon EOS 400D 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM on the 23rd of August, 2009 at 11:20am. I was about to stop shooting today when I found a strange plant in the shady damp corner of our old house next to an outside tap covered with about 6-8 green tree frogs. I think they may be babies as they were still quite small. ISO: 400 / Aperture: f/8 / Shutter Speed: 1/50 All comments/critique welcome and extremely appreciated if you choose to favourite my work!
