Found this freaking awesome #spider while out #herping last week.
A Black Wishbone Spider.
Took the opportunity to get some #macro #photos of its adorable face 🥰

Playing around with some handheld, single-shot #macro photos from a nighttime bush walk last week. I think they came out ok?

Some edited camera shots of the Bardick from the other night. Given I’m rusty with the camera, pretty happy with how these ones came out.

An absolutely cracking little Bardick found while road cruising with a mate last night.
Small, highly #venomous elapid found in the south west of #WesternAustralia
Such a gorgeous little #snake and a pleasure to work with.

How stunning is this western #australian #TigerSnake?! 😍
Took the chance to get some pics while I had him restrained for a health check.
One of the most #venomous #snakes in the world, but so damn pretty!

This is so damn accurate.

As I’m coming off my antidepressants for the first time since starting them 17-18 years ago, I don’t know who I will be. Do I even know who I am?
I was a very different person back then, and so much has changed even in the last 10 years. I guess I won’t know until I try?

Damn this job is fucking hard sometimes…

Epic relocation from #Perth hills this morning.
A snake that is locally extremely rare, and the first one I have come across up here in over 10 years of catching #snakes
Reticulated Whip Snake - Demansia reticulata.
Mildly #venomous but extremely fast species. So stoked! 😍

Like a dog with a bone….

And how FAST was that strike?! 😱

Ever seen the caudal luring of a #DeathAdder ?
Hiding in the substrate, with only the nose and lure visible, the tail wiggling started as soon as it noticed me.

Fooooooood time!!

How much like a little work does it look?! So frigging cool

Real life dinosaurs! And an iconic #aussie animal.
The Frill Necked #Lizard.
I was assisting our young female with some retained shed, and she didn’t appreciate someone walking behind me.

Classic frilly defense behaviour!

Who needs sleep anyway 😅

Absolutely stunning #DeathAdder relocated from a house in the #Perth hills.
One of my all time favourite #snakes. Little chunky nuggets full of #venom 🥰

Dinner time with Nyx 🤣❤️

My plans for this app….
