Stunning Lace Monitor relocated from a chicken coop in Nambour!🦎
This Lace monitor (Varanus varius) has been hanging out with the chickens at this house in Nambour recently and the owners decided that it was time he was moved to a more suitable home!
Lace monitors have an extremely varied diet ranging from insects to birds as well as other species of reptiles. Often they will however take any opportunity they get to snag a quick easy feed such as eggs or even in some cases chickens from nearby coops. 🐔
If you find yourself in a situation like this or with any other reptile needs or advice feel free to give us a call!☎️

Elegant Sea Snake (Hydrophis elegans)
So grateful that we managed to stumble across this Elegant sea snake whilst snorkelling off Lady Elliot Island on the southern Great Barrier Reef.
Elegant sea snakes are a dangerously
Venomous species in the elapid family with a laterally compressed tail that aids in swimming and hunting for fish, fish eggs and crustaceans. Like most true sea snakes they are ovoviviparous, meaning females give live birth from eggs stored in the snake’s body. Elegant sea snakes can found all over tropical Australia. This Includes Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
This video shows another perfect example that snakes aren’t out to harm humans! This fella was more then happy swimming around us for a good 10 minutes before making its way back down to the sea floor.

Stunning Lesser black whipsnake (Demansia vestigiata)!!
We got a call about a snake that was found in the front entrance of an aged care facility and we were pretty stoked when we got there to find this beauty!
The Lesser black whipsnake is a venomous species that can be found all throughout parts of Queensland and Northern Territory. However, they are not very often found here on the Sunny Coast!!
We were so happy to have got the chance to spend a moment with this snake that we forgot to get some good videos for you guys! Whipsnake’s are super quick so see if you can spot him going out of the bag and back to the bush!
Don’t hesitate to contact us with any relocation needs or just to chat about these awesome animals!🐍
