Snakefield National Park


Brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis). I found him when walking along a track at night. We found a larger one on the road the same night, but I didn’t get any pics.


Common tree snake (Dendrelaphis punctulata)


Keelback (Tropidonophis mairii)



Greater black whipsnake (Demansia papuensis). I was sitting on a creek bank recording the body temperature of a croc when I heard a rustle behind me. I turned around to fine this small whipsnake cruising along just centimetres from my hands. I only managed to get one pic before he darted off.


Curl snake (Suta suta)


An orange-naped snake (Furina ornata)


Spotted python (Antaresia maculosa)

    Wow Stew, fantastic pics! And so many snakes! Wish I was there to learn some snake ID with you, but in the mean time I’ll check out the frogs and birds and give you my thoughts. Have a great time, and see you in a week :)
