COASTAL TAIPAN
Oxyuranus scutellatus



  

Red Phase, Unknown Locality, Queensland.


A bunch of neonate Taipans, male from Rockhampton Qld, female from Cooktown, Qld


A bicphalic still-born from the same above group.


Breeding Taipans. Cooktown female and Cairns male.

The blue bolus near the vent of the female is caused by the male's hemipene.



The above picture is of Oxyuranus scutellatus and Herpetologisticus stupdus.  David warns: "PLLEEEASSSE, kiddies, don't try this at home." The snake is a very tame long term cb animal.
