HI All,

My Name is Scott Eipper, Together with my partner we run a wildlife Demonstration Business (Nature 4 You) in Southern Queensland, Australia.

Besides working mainly with venomous snakes, i have worked as a consultant in a number of roles from surveys to species counts.

I am wildlife photographer and I am interested in field ecology as well as husbandry

I will attach a couple of pics....






Cheers,
Scott

Ooh! A red-bellied black snake, one of my favorites. Also love the crucifix frog, really cool. Much prettier than the one in my field guide.

Anyway, G'Day and welcome aboard. Are you any where near Beerwah?

Welcome Scott - it looks like you are living the dream of many amphibian enthusiasts I know . Beautiful photographs. What species is above the Crucifix Frog? It seems familiar but I can't place it.

From the top

Cyclorana brevipes
Platyplectrum ornata
Notaden bennetti
Mixophyes fasciolatus

Glad you liked the pics,

You ever get to see Litoria chloris? That one frog that I will kill for!

[John]

Platyplectrum ornata

That's the one - thanks for naming them. You meant Platypectrum ornatum though right.

[eipper]

I breed them, have them in my backyard (those have a lovely call....the gracilenta's that call above the turtle pit are very loud though)

Here a couple of chloris pics



Litoria chloris


Good habitat for chloris, Mixophyes etc



One of My Death Adders Acanthophis hawkei

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks for the pics. I love gracilenta as well. Any chance you can send me some? LOL

Wow those are some great pics always love seeing herps in their natural enviroments from around the world. My brother lives in Sydney and will often send me photos of various herps in the wild and its mind blowing when you see them because you so used to seeing them at pet shops and zoos.
