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 🥰 #macrophoto #macrophotography #bugs #arachnid #arachnids #photography #wildlifephotography

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

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. #herps #snake #snakes #venomous #venomoussnakes #venom #reptile #reptiles

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. #herps #addherper #herping #snakes #reptile #reptiles #venom

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! #herp #herps #snake #reptile #reptiles #venom #herpers

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?

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! 😍 fb.watch/w2vXu0XpAa/?

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 #snake #snakes #reptile #reptiles #herp #herps #venom

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! #herp #herps #lizards #reptiles

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