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 🥰

Thank you mate, sincerely.
Keeps me motivated to try more
Hahah well thank you.

The trick is….

Pure luck 🤣

Canon R8. Tamron 90mm macro. EBay diffuser. ISO 800. F/32. 1/200s
And more luck lol.

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

Cracking shot! 😍
Awesome. Thanks mate
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.

Do you need to post specifically to the feed, or does it automatically add if you use #herps?
Still tryna figure this stuff 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! 😍

Oh wow. Was not expecting that.
What suburb? They seem to be fairly isolated through the metro area. I did see some in Warwick bushland which was a surprise!
Still desperate to get some photos of these
@thommytox.bsky.social do you get to work with any Aussie snakes? I LOVE venom and its complexity and how it can be used in positive ways, but my small Aussie brain can’t understand most of it 🤣
I keep dozens of Aussie elapids here. Unfortunately there is no call for keepers to work with venom here
@arachnie.bsky.social yes to bugs and spiders!! 🥰
Bonus for snakes!
Other side of Australia 😬
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
