Oh, lovely photos Rick!  I am an animal lover and I love all reptiles, even snakes. These shots made just my day.

Nice ones, Rick.

I came across a Sand Monitor today near Lake Cargelligo.

Really good photos Shorty, I love the first shot and the third one too. I saw some big lacies recently but I didnt have my camera with me unfortunately. One of them came within a metre of me.

Thanks Rick, now that's a phrase i have not heard in a long time "Ducks guts" :)

Thanks Tim, some places down the coast if you don't zip your tent they come in looking for a feed. When ever i go close to these things i always stay low, don't want them thinking i am a tree and climb up me :)

I went to Inskip Point, near Rainbow Beach, near Gympie, Qld last weekend and saw this on the path most of one day.

I hope that they didn't eat the Black-breasted Button-Quail but I am not sure as I did not see the BBBQ.

I hope that you can see the flickering tongue in each pic

They all look so scarey. I am seriously scared.

Hi Nate. Most of us have been seriously conditioned into being scared of rather than having a healthy respect for snakes. Most snake species are very shy & will avoid contact with humans. Far better, perhaps, to develop respect for snakes & view them as an integral part of the natural environment - while at the same time ensuring the safety of babies & toddlers where there are likely to be snakes. Watching snakes playing their role in the natural environment is seriously interesting.

Another encounter with Carpet Python on the Leschenault Inlet, amazing to watch it go vertically straight up on its on strength and rest on the branch
