G'day

Post by FeedingMoloch » Tue Sep 09, 2014 6:23 am

Howdy all,

I have been a long time lurker but only just signed up.
My name is Dylan and I am from Australia.
I currently work in retail and as a venomous reptile relocator (when the need arises)
I currently do not own any crabs but I can see them on the cards in the not to distant future.

While I have no crabs, I do currently own reptiles and have owned for almost 10 years now.
I currently own 2x Pink Tongue Skinks (C. gerrardii)
Image

1x female Olive Python (Liasis olivaceus)
Image
She is my personal favourite and while she is only small now she will grow anywhere up to 15-20kg.
2x Woma Python (Aspidites ramsayi)
Image

Those are my favourites.
I also have
2x Coastal Carpet Pythons (Morelia spilota mcdowelli)
1x Albino Darwin Carpet Python (Morelia spilota variegata)
1x Pygmy Stimsons Python (Liasis stimsoni)

And 3 Mitchell's Hopping mice.

Image

I look forward to speaking with you all!

They are pretty cool little guys but probably not as tame as other mice.

Some frogs I have recently adopted.

Yay, another aussie person here. :lol: I was running low on my fellow aussies.
I love your hopping mice, I seen that they can cost quite a bit however judging what people say, its worth it.
One thing I like to say is that treat your hermies similar to your mice, it better to look and only touch them in an emergency. :)
Love all the snakes and the froggies are cool too.

They look like green tree frogs. I think they are white lipped green tree frogs.

Thank you everyone!
Close, they are just green tree frogs (Litoria caerulea).
White lipped tree frogs are distinguishable by (you guessed it) a distinct white lower lip and a white striped edge on the hind side of lower leg and foot.

These are thick-tail geckos, also known as barking geckos.

Wow, when I saw those barking geckos on line I fell in love. :) They very beautiful animals and yours are awesome! :) You have so much reptiles in your house, do you live in a zoo? And also, are you looking for somebody to look after some of your animals? :D

Who cares about the $500 or so beautiful looking snake, what about that terrarium in the background! :lol: How big is it?
I be sure to shout out if I ever go by Canberra, never been though - for some reason. :)
