Some lovely boas you have there. Looks like you got a great deal!

Yeah I can't see them.

Nicely done Wesley. I have only seen two of these, and I must say they are probably my favourite beetle.

It died yesterday due to severe internal bleeding; poor little guy was throwing up blood and was gone within an hour of my last message.

Thanks will let you guys know what happens.

Hi guys I am back from the bush for a few days(will post an update later). Just found an injured bushbaby at my mom's school, it was just laying there on the wet pavement, breathing is fine, still opens it's eyes, tries to get away when I pick it up albeit with not a lot of enthusiasm. It also seems...

Thanks guys. I will try and post some pictures of my endeavours in a month or two. Thanks again.

Those who know me might have noticed my absence over the past few weeks; this was due to computer problems and telkom's cables being stolen leaving me with no internet connection, and a host of other factors and problems etc. I am leaving in ten days to go work in the bush getting into anti-poaching...

Lovely! Made me think of a house snake for a second when I glimpsed it first.

Lovely snakes, hypo's of these will be stunning! Has anyone ever made an attempt to do it?

Interesting to say the least. I am no expert on venoms or toxins, but I would also be really concerned about it's use as a painkiller. Is there anything they can do to make it less dangerous?

Great photos! Very nice finds as well, I would like to see a velvet worm in real life, fascinating little things.

Outstanding images MrG. A pity you didn't get the "neon" blue tongue in the last shot, one of their features I like most, but still an amazing shot though.

I have been bitten by a sac spider on my knee before. It is really important to keep the bite site clean to prevent secondary infections etc. Mine didn't hurt that much due to the necrosis; I can stil remember that after a while I could "play" with the cartilage in my joint with an earbud ...

Great looking snakes, one of my favourites!
