A beautiful inland taipan ( oxyuranus microlepidotus) from a week or so ago.

I just came back from South Australia and the inland taipan was one of the reptiles we were looking for. At the right conditions,at the right time of the year and at the right place these snakes can be surprisingly reliable to find!
Inland taipans are so interesting and go way beyond the title of most venomous snake on earth. Don’t get me wrong being number one is impressive but where they live and how secretive they are is quite incredible. These snakes can spend MONTHS underground in the soil cracks of the moon plains and will only come up for short periods of time. As far as we know they will feed predominantly on long haired rats which are abundant at the moment after so much rain! Always a great sight and I don’t think I will ever get sick of them! If you have any questions about them feel free to ask and I’d love to know if you’ve ever seen one in the wild!

The king! If you didn’t know perenties are Australia’s largest lizard reaching over 2 meters in length. This weapon wouldn’t be far from the 2 meter mark, what an incredible lizard!
Have you ever seen a perentie in the wild?

It doesn’t get much better than this when it comes to wild bearded dragons with a view!!

Perentie (Varanus giganteus)

Finding a perentie has always been at the top of my list. After looking for them at spots where people regularly find them and failing, I had little to no hope we would ever come across one in the Breakaways, just outside of Coober Pedy.

I knew they were there and had heard of a couple of records over a very long period of time, but it’s one of those things you think will never happen to you… until it does.

Finding this lizard in this spot, at sunset, was absolutely incredible. An absolute monster that would’ve been through so much. This lizard knew how powerful he was, and he wasn’t scared of us.

The feral cat population would have nightmares over this lizard! 😂

I will never forget the moment this perentie crossed right in front of us. This was, by far, the best lizard I’ve ever seen!

A pair of shinglebacks crossing the road !!

This is the time of the year when shinglebacks reunite with their partners. They are monogamous and often return to the same partner every year.

Watching these two cross the road together, constantly checking on each other, it was unreal!

🚨 BIG RED BELLIED BLACK SNAKE INSIDE A NURSING HOME… IN THE MIDDLE OF SYDNEY! 😳

You never know where you’re going to find a snake… but THIS is a new one for me!

This Red bellied Black Snake made its way INSIDE a room at a nursing home, right in the middle of Sydney! 🏥

Not your everyday visitor at a nursing home, that’s for sure!

I was able to safely capture the snake and relocate it away from the building and back to suitable habitat.

A new one for me, a Red bellied Black Snake up in the roof gutter!

And people still say venomous snakes can’t climb! 😂

This one certainly made me work for it. Getting him safely out of a gutter around 3 metres up a ladder was a tricky situation, but we got the job done and relocated him safely back into the bush.

Another reminder that snakes can climb, and no place is completely out of reach!
