We have that kind of problem here in Holland with ringneck parakeets. They've been released or escaped and now there're are large numbers flying around. The parakeets are a danger to our native smaller birds and woodpeckers. But I think there is nothing we can do

That is a pretty species, James.
What's the story?

The story isn't really that interesting Fons. I had a call to say that a snake in a pillow case had been found dumped in some waste ground. Don't know why someone would do such a thing. It was very ill, and didn't survive for long, even with vet treatment.

Sometimes people do horrible things to animals!
Shame it didn't survive.

Everybody has such great pictures Absolutely wonderfull to look at.
Finaly I have some pics to show, herping pics in Holland from 2 years ago. The quality is not great becouse they're pics from pics. I have my digital camera not that long
Soon I'll try to show some pics from Australia.

Nice pics guys! I love Dolomedes! Though I've never had the opportunity to see it in the wild.

Arianta arbustorum, an introduced species and a real nuisance in the garden, but apparently blue-tongued skinks and Berber skinks love them.
