All creatures big and small. With a special love for reptiles

Was going to cook Aligator for dinner tonight.
But just realised I only have a Crock-pot.

Did you guess correctly?

Just like we see with dogs, cows, horses, and even humans, colour alone does not allow for an accurate identification.
There are also very different species that look almost identical.

28/08/2024

Which one does not belong?

We often hear people determine a species based on something as simple as it's colour, or another factor. The below picture has 4 of the same species, and 1 different species.
(Thank you Lauren for pointing out there being 5).
We will post the correct answers soon.

Feels like a trip to the dentist.
This is actually what a Bobtail does when it feels threatened.

Perfectly acceptable way to spend a cold rainy day

14/08/2024

One of our favourite days of the year.

When you see a snake, don't make sudden weird movements like this.
If you think you are close to the snake, keep your legs and feet as still as you can. The snake will think you are a tree and not something it should be scared of.

10/08/2024

We're looking forward to seeing these beautiful creatures reappear as the weather warms up again.
Easily one of the best natural predator species we have locally.

We often hear that the snakes we keep and deal with are incredibly dangerous, while never hearing it said about other species.

Personally I have never had many dangerous/close calls with snakes, crocodiles, and other wildlife. While I have had a number of incidents with animals that are considered less dangerous, including the current shoulder surgery thanks to a Sheep.

08/08/2024

Work with potentially dangerous animals long enough, eventually you get hurt.
This injury is from one of the animal species we deal with regularly.

Can you guess what species caused this?

01/08/2024

These animals are not cheap.

28/07/2024

All jokes aside, reptiles are great pets and drugs ruin lives.

When you absolutely love snakes and people say you're weird.

A couple of days ago an absolute legend of reptiles in Australia, Peter from Critta Cam posted a video about Tiger Snakes and in the video is one very similar to a couple of our gorgeous animals.

Make sure you go and see the amazing adventures he gets up to, and let us know what you think of his blue Tiger Snake.

It's always surprising just how many people are afraid of snakes.
This fear is called Ophidiophobia.
Thankfully as this is a Learned fear, it is possible to overcome.

Are you afraid of snakes?
Or do you like them?

18/07/2024

Today is the perfect weather for some of our more aquatic wildlife.

17/07/2024

The pointy end.

These fangs belonging to one of our Tarantulas could easily go half the way through a finger.
Unfortunately they will not give us powers like Spider Man.

Here's to each and every one of you.
This is Freddy, our old Dugite. A very commonly found dangerously venomous snake found locally.

15/07/2024

It's all about the collection.

Who doesn't love a good snuggle.

Two of our feisty little Stripe Tail Pygmy Monitors love cuddling up under the heat each morning, before absolutely trashing their enclosure.

14/07/2024

Sometimes it's worth it

10/07/2024

We are a little bias thinking Tiger Snakes have the cutest face.
This particular female is the biggest bodied and heaviest Tiger Snake we have ever seen, and we're lucky to have her with us.

While she may be the 4th most toxic snake in the world, she's still beautiful.

06/07/2024

Rodent baits or poisons are widely used to control vermin.
Sadly the toxins are often passed on to beautiful predator species, even if this is a complete accident.
Please consider what else you might be harming when using poisons around your home or workplace.

Special thanks to Geoff Selby for this spectacular photo

Interesting bit of history involving awesome snakes.

04/07/2024

One of the most interesting finds lately is definitely this Gould's Wattled Bat.
We found a pair of them in a shed today, and got to spend some time up close having a look.

This is a species of micro bat that weigh just 14 grams. They feed mainly on insects and have just two babies at a time.

Have you seen any bats in the wild?

03/07/2024

It's important to have lots of photos of them taking up all the available space on your phone.

30/06/2024

Don't judge us, they're expensive and we want them all.

29/06/2024

The overwhelming urge to get one of these and put it in a pond in the yard....

29/06/2024

This is why we do this.

Spotted Brown or Dugite. This deadly dangerous brown snake is not a fan of the camera. Reality is, he's cornered and scared. If we moved the camera away, he would not strike. #venomoussnakes #serpentine #CityLiving #spring2024 #snakelife #snake #wildlife #spring #perth #serpent #snakes #wow #strike #deadly #dangerousanimals #dangerous #brown #spotted

We are full of joy for the arrival of Spring. It means lots more wildlife for us to see, like this beautiful Tiger Snake. #snake #serpent #serpentine #snakelife #wildlife #cityliving #spring #spring2024 #venomoussnakes #tiger #perth #lakelife

A huge shout out to Daryl from DT Reptile Oasis for spending some time today moving animals around. While we are both currently finding it difficult to handle some animals due to injuries, we are forever grateful for those around us to assist. Our big Eastern Tiger Snake (Notechis Scutatus) in this video is the heaviest and most defensive snake we have ever seen, and she made sure to remind us all of this today... #tiger #snake #serpent #serpentine #animalworld #Deadly #wildlife #defend #venomoussnakes #venom #dangerous #safetyfirst #safety #training #natgeo #yawn #openwide #injuryprevention #injuryrecovery

There's something special about watching animals hatch from eggs, especially when they are this cute. Have you seen a snakes Egg Tooth? Used to cut a hole in the egg for them to escape. #serpent #venom #snake #snakes #venomous #herpetology #snakebites #snakesofinstagram #wildlifephotographer #wildlifeaddicts #wildlifelovers #wildlife #wildlifeplanet #wildlifephotography #wildlifephoto #wildlifeconservation #snakelife #snakephotography #animals #earth #nature #SnakeBite #pet #amazing #pets #naturelover #animal #reptile #natureza #wild
