tiger snakes, Perth

Dont know if this is the exact Species... Also i dont think he had anything to do with them, apart from Photography.... But you should like the pics

Also, Speak with Tigersnake on here, i know he works with Venomous, but i dont know if hes had any experience with them...

Hope it helps a lil

yeah thats right, as far as i'm aware, the islands they inhabit are more southerly than the areas in australia inhabited by notechis scutatus and have developed the black pigmentation in order to retain heat better in the cooler conditions, the are also larger on avarage as they feed on the relatively large mutton bird chicks

there are two species of notechis, N. Scutatus (pictured in the other thread) and N. Ater, the latter inhabits rocky islands on the southeastern austrailian coast, while scutatus has quite a wide distribution, covering areas like new south wales, queensland and victoria.
unfortunatly the chance of getting either of these in the UK is extremely unlikely.
