We Almost Gave Up… Then We Found One of the World's Most Venomous Snakes

[00:00:00]After hours of searching, we finally found this incredible tiger snake. But finding it wasn't easy. Today, we're on the hunt around Ba'is for one of Australia's most iconic snakes. We had a few promising spots lined up, but after checking location after location, things weren't exactly going to plan. And right as we thought we'd run out of luck, everything changed. Let's get into it.

[00:00:24]Have a look at this. I've just pulled up to have a look at some sheep. And look who's coming up the hill. You would not believe it. Let's see if he actually stops for me. I don't think he will.

[00:00:38]What a guy. The Taipan mobile. He's back. He's not even stopping. Oh my god.

[00:00:43]He's not even stopping.

[00:00:46]What kind of friend? I haven't seen him for weeks. Oh well. For anyone who's always around, that is Gabriel. Now he wants to stop. I ain't running up there cuz he'll start driving again. I'll reverse up there. Oh no, he's coming.

[00:00:58]Let's go. Say good day. How are you, mate?

[00:01:00]>> Good.

[00:01:01]>> Nice shirt. You look like you're going out clubbing.

[00:01:04]>> Why? Just cuz of the jeans.

[00:01:05]>> Yeah, the jeans and nice white suit.

[00:01:07]Tell everyone what you caught last night.

[00:01:09]>> A boa constrictor.

[00:01:11]We'll make a video about it. It's insane. I couldn't believe my eyes when I moved this box. And I saw the head of a boa constrictor.

[00:01:17]>> At what time? Midnight.

[00:01:18]>> 11:30 at night.

[00:01:20]>> What are the chances?

[00:01:21]>> I saw my phone ringing at like 20 11. I was like, "Oh, I'm not taking that." So glad I answered. I'll put a little clip in it now, but we will make a full video of it. But we are out here in beautiful Ba'is region. Stunning stunning part of the country. Our number one target for the day, shingle backs. You feeling confident?

[00:01:37]>> Not really.

[00:01:39]>> Shinglebacks, tiger snake country, copperhead country. Should get a bearded dragon. Keep going. We'll see which one we tick off first.

[00:01:54]It's hotter in July. We >> done a little bit of road cruise and with no such luck so far. We've seen this beautiful river just running through the farmland here. So, we're going to walk along this little creek system, see what sort of life we got.

[00:02:09]Hopefully, we get some sort of tiger snake or copperhead just curled up basking along the river banks, waiting for a nice froggy feed. Gabriel just saw a little bearded dragon run into the scrub there. So, that is a good sign.

[00:02:30]>> This is just perfect. Perfect habitat along here. There's all this prickly blackberry style bush. It's banging me up. I'm bleeding there. We're already going through the walls. It's not ideal.

[00:02:41]But this is freezing, too. That is chilly. I've just got an urge to walk under this bridge. You're not coming.

[00:02:49]>> Why not?

[00:02:50]>> Why? Just to walk under the bridge.

[00:02:51]>> Just to walk under the bridge. Just fight the urge. I mean, give into the urge. If I was a snake.

[00:02:59]This is where I'd be. Got some nice coal. Got some concrete. Oh, Gabriel, come down the other side. He's so scared of heights and things. Where is he?

[00:03:11]Where is my friend? There he is.

[00:03:12]>> That's the reason we don't get any snakes.

[00:03:14]>> Why? During our good time to find a snack, you walk in under a bridge.

[00:03:18]>> No, I'm walking along here. Oh, look.

[00:03:20]There was an old little bridge. Are you not coming down?

[00:03:22]>> Side scene channel.

[00:03:24]>> I just I really want to walk across the log.

[00:03:26]>> Oh my god, you're autistic.

[00:03:27]>> Oh, he's he was autistic. It's going to irk me all day if I don't do it. But for you, I'll skip. This is such stunning habitat.

[00:03:47]Back in the beast. Going to have another little halfhour crack of road cruising before we move on to the next spot. It's actually very warm. It feels quite warm.

[00:03:55]So, probably way too warm for our tigers and our copper heads. Good for eastern brown. Be a nice big eastern brown. A big texty would be nice. And I think it's pretty good for our shingle backs.

[00:04:05]So, let's have a look along here.

[00:04:10]just jumped back out of the car. I can't help myself whenever I see something cool. I prefer to be on foot finding stuff. And I'm also silly. I thought it was going to be colder out here, so I chucked the t-shirt on. I might have to cut the bloody sleeves off. That's the annoying thing about bearded dragons.

[00:04:23]They blend in so well. But you know when they run cuz they'll jump and then you get the like it's a real different noise to when it's a skink. I just heard a bearded dragon basking here and then he's disappeared.

[00:04:35]There's something really sort of cool.

[00:04:37]Ooh. cool about out here is all the dry river beds that you find. You got all the dead trees throughout them. These banks are quite high, so it's obviously filled with water at some point. So, it's always wet in here. So, it supports lots of plant life, lots of bugs, skinks, lizards, snakes. They love this kind of thing. But I'm not going to find anything. So, it's going to make me look like I'm lying. Really cool. You can see the river banks all around there. Goes down there. Obviously, downhill the water sits. So, it's much more green.

[00:05:06]And we come up here. It's much drier.

[00:05:08]Look at the height of the creek here.

[00:05:12]Like how cool.

[00:05:16]All this nice lush green grass to hide in. You got all the holes in the roots in the sides. Just unlimited hideyholes for our reptiles.

[00:05:28]Sounds like Gabriel's just pulled up, so he's probably going to call me a weirdo for being down here.

[00:05:35]What's wrong with you? Are you autistic?

[00:05:37]Look, potentially. Yes. Oh, yeah. There he is.

[00:05:42]Looking for snakes. What about you?

[00:05:45]>> All the way down there.

[00:05:46]>> Oh. Oh, my footy. That's so going in the mud. Oh.

[00:05:53]>> Hey, she lives. Oh no, I just lost the thing off it. Oh well, that's never going to be found. There's a little rubber cover which went around the thingo. That ain't coming back. That's gone forever. I reckon I can get it to him. I got to do like a left foot kick unless I go over the head.

[00:06:15]That's not bad. You know how I had the urge to walk under the bridge before?

[00:06:20]Actually, one of the main reasons I wanted to come down here was to walk through this. Here's a throwback. Did anybody watch Parallax? These are probably all too young for parallax, but there'd be like bridges or trees in the bush and they'd have like this little symbol on it and you'd touch the symbol and then you walk through and then you go into like this parallel universe.

[00:06:38]Look at these paper wasps. These guys are buggers.

[00:06:44]They smash you. They're all around my house and they'll nest in the weirdest places and you don't even know they're there. You accidentally rub your leg or you walk near them and then they go and they smash you. And I don't know if I'm allergic, but I blow up like crazy.

[00:06:58]Feet, hands, and oh, for days, too. End up with club feet.

[00:07:07]And this is actually what I wanted to show you guys. How cool is this? This old school bridge. So, I wouldn't be surprised if this bridge was part of the road with that older bridge, that low one with the peers back where I went under the big main bridge. There was that smaller one. This thing must be hundreds of years old. Oh, like look how it's made. It's not even used anymore.

[00:07:27]Lots of poos. They're probably little swallow little swallow poos nesting up in there. Kangaroos, macropods using it for shade for the kangaroo poo in there. Wouldn't be surprised if a microbats got in there either.

[00:07:45]And there it is. The old bridge.

[00:07:50]>> Yeah. Cool.

[00:07:55]me.

[00:07:59]>> What was that?

[00:08:00]>> That's going in the intro.

[00:08:02]>> I was lifting it up with my foot. It's meant to be good. That's a lesson to lock to lock your car. You lost your drill and all of the tools.

[00:08:09]>> Shut up.

[00:08:14]>> Were you going through my thing?

[00:08:16]>> Oh, look. I ripped >> I was looking for a fire.

[00:08:18]>> I ripped all this off the other day.

[00:08:21]>> Oh, no way.

[00:08:22]>> Yeah. This looks like a place where you put a body in e back here.

[00:08:26]>> Yeah, your body when I want to take advantage of it.

[00:08:29]>> No wonder I can't sit at the back.

[00:08:31]>> Spot two. Where are we?

[00:08:33]>> Some random gardens in the middle of town.

[00:08:35]>> So, we've come about 15 20 minutes to town now. Center of Ba'ist here. And we're just having a little walk along this main river. What's this river called? Do you know?

[00:08:45]>> Uh it's Peace Garden.

[00:08:46]>> Pierce Garden.

[00:08:47]>> It's not even a garden to be honest.

[00:08:49]>> No, it's not. It is the Mcquaryy River.

[00:08:51]There you go. Is that the where the mquarry river turtle comes from?

[00:08:55]Emmyjura Mcquaryi. What is that? Is that a dead cocky?

[00:09:02]Is it >> Carella?

[00:09:05]Our first touch of an animal for the day. A dead Carella.

[00:09:09]>> What the hell? Why are they Why are they here? This is sinister. Something weird's going on. They're not SA shoes.

[00:09:16]I can't gabber with them. Just a very, very quick walk along the river cuz we're starving. I have not eaten yet. I am starving. It's It's Good Friday, so there was a bit of traffic and I did not want to stop in McDonald's cuz I reckon it would have taken ages through Lithgo. So, I've not eaten. I'm struggling. So, we'll have a little wander along here before our feed and then we'll just keep adventuring and hope to find something. It's just insane. Like you got the rosellas, pale heads, we've had crimson rosellas, cooker bars flying everywhere, whitewing choffs, mag pies.

[00:09:50]What else have I filmed? There's little ren over there. Oh, like the bird life out here is just absolutely phenomenal.

[00:09:56]I'll see if I can get a little video of this little Oh no, he just flew away.

[00:09:59]There's this little red ren. He's stunning. Predominantly reptile page. So all you guys are going to be like, "Shut up. No one wants to see a bird." But that's what you're going to get today if we don't get any freaking reptiles. Me teasing Gabriel and some birds. This is going to be a bird watching video.

[00:10:14]>> We're getting worse by the day.

[00:10:15]>> There's this little red little red finchy thing flying around.

[00:10:18]>> Oh, I sorry. There's like three or four of them.

[00:10:22]>> Gabriel.

[00:10:26]>> Oh, >> what the hell was that?

[00:10:30]>> [ __ ] >> I wish you caught it.

[00:10:37]>> Throw back again.

[00:10:39]Right in my face.

[00:10:43]>> The thing went up so perfectly. That was a rock.

[00:10:46]>> Where are the reptiles?

[00:10:47]>> Where are the reptiles?

[00:10:50]Where are they?

[00:10:51]>> Oh, they don't exist.

[00:10:52]>> Can't even get a water skink at this point.

[00:10:55]>> What's going on?

[00:10:56]>> What'd you get, mate?

[00:10:57]>> Food reviews.

[00:10:58]>> What did you get?

[00:10:59]>> Steak.

[00:10:59]>> It's Good Friday.

[00:11:00]>> What did you get?

[00:11:01]>> It's Good Friday.

[00:11:01]>> What did you get?

[00:11:02]>> 350 g rum. Yes.

[00:11:09]poor security. You know this one.

[00:11:35]A >> so we had to apply a cheat code and we've contacted Steph the local snake catcher out here in Ba'ath and she's on her way to Oberon which was our next stop for a tiger snake catch. So if she catches that we'll shoot over and finally get a look at a tiger snake. But this spot here it's right on. So you can see Mount Panorama right through there.

[00:12:03]You can see the white on the mountain there. That is the racetrack which I wanted to get some drone footage of but now I may not have time. But I have found bearded dragons in here before and mobs and mobs of kangaroos. So we'll have a little wander. Paleheaded rosellas are in here too. Right there.

[00:12:18]That's them. Oh no, they're eastern rosellas. So we'll have a quick wander to see if we can get anything in here.

[00:12:26]Hey, I want mine slapped.

[00:12:32]Can I do it properly?

[00:12:48]I see that you're fading into the fire.

[00:12:53]No second chances, no trying to make it right.

[00:12:59]>> You can see why there's so much bird life in this park here. All these trees are full of hollows, so it just be perfect for nesting. But we've made the decision. We're going to head to Oberon, and we're hopefully going to get to see this tiger snake, which Steph should hopefully be getting her hands on.

[00:13:17]>> Kangaroo bone. That's That's similar.

[00:13:19]Fetch. Fetch.

[00:13:29]>> No way. Oh my god. Good boy. Good boy.

[00:13:33]Oh, good boy. Oh my god. I can't believe that.

[00:13:38]>> Am I going to get sick?

[00:13:42]>> Now it's a spine.

[00:13:43]>> There they are. Told you guys there was RS everywhere. Alive ones and dead ones looking at us through there. So these are eastern gray kangaroos. And unfortunately these are the ones which end up on the racetrack which end up on the TV each year. near misses, close misses, and even even hits.

[00:14:02]>> How cool is that? There's always so many in here.

[00:14:07]>> How's this guy for a big bopper? He's the big boy.

[00:14:13]>> Look at the kegs on him.

[00:14:17]>> That's one big R.

[00:14:20]>> How cool. It ain't a reptile, but we'll take it.

[00:14:23]>> Tail of him, man. He would eat for days.

[00:14:25]>> We keep walking and they just keep appearing. They're as far as the eye can see. Look at that. Anyone want to come to Australia and get a tour of kangaroos? This is the place.

[00:14:37]>> You can see we're coming into winter now. They're actually so furry. She's so fluffy. Look at that. She looks like an alpaca. I think she might have a Oh, she's got a bubba. Pretty sure she's got a bubba. She's so furry. That's so cute.

[00:14:53]Guys, I just realized I've lost my sunnies and I was like, "Oh, the last place I was wearing them was when I went down in that creek bed, like when Gabriel picked me the ball." So, I found So, I've got the ball. Oh, we got the ball.

[00:15:06]>> That's gone forever.

[00:15:08]>> Sunny's on my head.

[00:15:11]>> Gone.

[00:15:15]>> That's our luck.

[00:15:16]>> That's How far away is that from here?

[00:15:18]>> Oh, no idea.

[00:15:20]>> Half an hour, >> maybe. Yeah. Is it worth going back?

[00:15:23]>> I don't know how expensive they are.

[00:15:25]>> What?

[00:15:25]>> If they $5. Oh, so no. You'll spend more than that on fuel.

[00:15:30]>> And Steph just messaged saying she's got to sneak an opera on where >> I've been running in circles. 10,000 miles of pavement trying to make it all make sense.

[00:15:46]I've been under slept, overworked, overstressed. I'm exhausted.

[00:15:51]But I >> We're at our third.

[00:15:55]>> We're tired. We're going up the massive hill.

[00:15:57]>> We're at our Is this our third spot?

[00:15:59]>> Oh, I would be.

[00:16:00]>> And boy, have we got a surprise for you.

[00:16:02]But first thing, we have blackberries.

[00:16:05]You would have seen us eating these in our tiger snake video. Oh my god.

[00:16:12]>> You go first.

[00:16:13]>> It's not ripe. It's meant to be black.

[00:16:14]>> In case you go No, you go first. I'm not going first.

[00:16:18]>> Give me one. At least that is sour as [ __ ] >> That's crunchy. It's not meant to be crunchy.

[00:16:22]>> Oh, is it bad then? What about this black one?

[00:16:24]>> Oh, you got a purple one.

[00:16:26]>> This one?

[00:16:27]>> Yeah.

[00:16:31]>> Oh, it's sour.

[00:16:36]>> It wasn't good, but it wasn't a sour.

[00:16:40]>> Tastes like [ __ ] but you can live off it. So, we applied our cheat code and we have a tiger snake. We have a tiger snake in the bag. We reached out to Steph from Ba'athist. She is wild woofers snake catching and dogsitting, believe it or not. We reached out to her and we're like, "If you get any snakes today, let us know cuz we are not having any luck." And she's like, "I've just got a tiger snake in Oberon." But she just didn't have time to release it. We met up with her out the front of where she caught it from. She's run back to look after her dogs and we're about to release this beautiful tiger snake.

[00:17:10]Very, very different to the one we got up at Catumba a few weeks prior. This one has the beautiful yellow. Can you tell we just walked up a hill? This one has the beautiful yellows. The one up Katumba was very old, very gray, very brown. This is a stunning, stunning example of an eastern tiger snake.

[00:17:31]>> Oh, he's got me.

[00:17:33]>> It is yellow runs deep like a trench in the ocean.

[00:17:44]Like the dreams I've been holding.

[00:17:47]Like the roots of an old tree. True love from seance.

[00:18:01]>> Look at that. No snake in Australia does it better in my opinion. The tiger snakes flattening of the neck. You always see it prominently in the red bellies, but the tiger snakes is just next level. If that doesn't look like a cobra, I don't know what does. Look at the separation in the scales there. You can see the black skin underneath, the beautifully vividly colored scales.

[00:18:22]Chain snakes do not get much better than that. The yellows, the orange, the browns. This is just something that is just absolutely unbelievable. And you can see how well you'd think those bright colors you'd spot him a mile away, but look at that. He just disappears into the model light of the greens, the browns, and the yellows in the grasslands out here of the region.

[00:18:46]Look at that phenomenal. Phenomenal snake. And how is that for an example of an eastern tiger snake? It honestly does not get better than that. My number one favorite snake. It's always between these guys and the mga snake. Can size really beat the colors of this beautiful, beautiful animal? Like that is just beyond words. The whole reason I want to keep a lapids, venomous snakes, is to get my hands on one of these guys.

[00:19:13]He's not super long. He's probably not even 3 foot. The sneaky cheeky thing with these guys is they love love to climb. You can see with his tail there, he's continually wrapping it around my hand, around my finger, using it to propel himself to climb. These guys are fantastic climbers. You'll spot them in trees, high shrubs off the ground.

[00:19:31]They're just a phenomenal, phenomenal snake. They'll take frogs. They'll take mammals. They'll take rodents. They'll take anything they can wrap their little lips around. Reptiles. I wouldn't be surprised if these smashing bearded dragons and Cuttingham skinks, which are quite prominent out here in the region.

[00:19:45]That's why we've selected this particular place to release him. There's a massive dam around the bottom and it's just going to be absolutely full of life, full of food. There's fallen logs everywhere, rotted logs, hollow logs.

[00:19:57]It's just a habitat and prey item galore. Perfect for this stunning, stunning example of a tiger saint who found himself caught up in a garage and was luckily saved by Steph. And we're able to bring him back out here where he belongs. And hopefully you, my friend, are not going to run back into any trouble with any humans along the way.

[00:20:16]Hopefully, we're going to be your last >> after this snake's big ordeal in town.

[00:20:28]getting stuck in a garage, hanging out in there for a few days. We wanted to find him the perfect perfect release spot. So, something like this is just going to be fantastic. Big fallen log, lots of holes in it. That's just going to be phenomenal. Phenomenal. So, we're going to send him in there. He can chill out, hang out as long as he needs, stay warm tonight, and then happy days. He can work out his surroundings.

[00:20:55]>> Look at that. It'll keep him nice and insulated for the night. He can spend the time in there to recoup, rejuvenate.

[00:21:02]Hey, there might even be another one in there. There might be some food in there. He is going to love that. And he can move on his way when he is good and ready after his rest. His debacle of being stuck in a garage out here west of the Great Dividing Range. How good is that? Cannot beat them. The Tiger Swing.

[00:21:26]I've been struggling today. I think I'm getting a bit sick.

[00:21:31]Need to get a fuel up.

[00:21:37]That'll fight the headache. How is this?

[00:21:39]I bought two pieces of pizza. Gabriel refused to have one. He's like, "No, you're going to be [ __ ] your pants by the time you get home." I was like, "Look, pretty fair." A little truck stopped. Pizza looked very old. It was quite tasty. So, we're going one more spot. spot you guys would have seen a few times on the channel. Normally get nothing, but we have gotten a copperhead before. So, wish us luck. Let's hope we get one and I'll see you up there.

[00:22:05]This is what we don't want to see.

[00:22:08]Squashed blue tongue.

[00:22:11]Eastern blue tongue. Not the shingle back we're after, but still in the tlequa genus.

[00:22:15]>> Is it fresh?

[00:22:16]>> Poor bugger. Yeah, he's pretty fresh.

[00:22:21]>> Bro, you gross. Why?

[00:22:23]>> What are we going to do with it? You bastard thing.

[00:22:25]>> What's wrong with it?

[00:22:28]>> We'll put him here so nothing gets hit eating him.

[00:22:31]>> Are you actually upset?

[00:22:33]>> He rubbed all his juice on me. Smell my arm. He rubbed all of his juice on me.

[00:22:38]Oh, you dog.

[00:22:41]>> Okay, that's so fair that he was mad because that actually did smell penny pan.

[00:22:50]My bad.

[00:22:52]Oh, I feel so sick in the stomach.

[00:22:55]>> Did you eat both pizzas? Oh, you ate both slices.

[00:22:58]>> Why didn't you eat yours? Cuz >> I didn't want to feel sick the way that you're feeling now.

[00:23:03]>> Oh, something smells like rotting animal.

[00:23:07]>> Yeah, my arm.

[00:23:13]>> That'd be cool. E, >> I don't know why I got it. There's tin everywhere >> under this one.

[00:23:19]>> Starting good. Really?

[00:23:21]>> Oh, this will be our last attempt for the day. Eh, I think this is my fourth time here. I've only ever gotten one tiny little baby copper head.

[00:23:33]It's quite a well-known spot. So, even potentially things are bloody sick of being flipped so they don't hang around anymore. is if my home skink if my home was continually getting uplifted upside down and opened. Ow. I would no longer live there either.

[00:24:03]>> I think Gabriel's got something. What do you got?

[00:24:06]>> I'm not too sure. Three toes.

[00:24:08]>> Has it got three toes?

[00:24:10]>> Yes. Oh, then it's a three-toed skiing.

[00:24:12]Oh, yes.

[00:24:14]He's so cool. How cool is that?

[00:24:18]Obviously see why he's called the three-toed. Now, I don't know a whole lot about them, so I'll overlay some voiceovers. Now, this little dude is the eastern three-toed eelless skig. Not to be confused with the yellowbellied three-toed skink that we've got further towards the east coast. Now, very similar species, but there's a few distinct differences. So these dudes, their rear toes are much much longer. On the yellowbellied skink, they're like these tiny little nubs. This eer skink obviously has no visible ear holes.

[00:24:46]They've got ears. They're just covered.

[00:24:48]They also have a different distribution.

[00:24:49]So where we are, west of the Great Dividing Range here, this is where you're going to run into these guys.

[00:24:54]Now, these dudes do tend to live in cold climates, so they give birth to live young, basically incubate the babies inside them. What a cool, epic little dude. See that stunning little yellow belly there? I absolutely adore these dudes. I adore all of our reptiles, especially our weird little lizards.

[00:25:12]Like lizards are my number one. I just love them. There's so much variety and they're just so so cool. Look at that. That little skinny tongue. How cool. Send our little mate back under here. We'll see how he moves. There you go. There. Yeah. How long and slender he is. Off you go, my dude.

[00:25:32]So he's just living out here on the edge of the blackberries on the edge of the dam. Abundant food sources, but he is also an abundant food source for our copperheads that are out here. Other snakes, bigger lizards, and anything else which wouldn't mind a little reptile snack. How cool. Look at that.

[00:25:51]Oh my god.

[00:25:56]>> Improv. Come up with something funny.

[00:25:58]>> Sad scene. That's what happens when life starts to come in contact with with snakes.

[00:26:09]>> Oh, he just he just cracked.

[00:26:15]How strange is this? Oh god. It's obviously sad, but just strange. Like this is this is fresh. This dude's died within like the flies are obviously getting to him, but he's not rigger mortise. He doesn't have maggots. He doesn't have anything massive like open wounds cuz the maggots will get to him pretty quickly. Yeah, he's not weeping. He's not smelly.

[00:26:40]He's I don't think he's an old animal, but yeah, it's just Yeah, really bizarre.

[00:26:47]Really bizarre. But I suppose that's what happens out on these farms. Yeah, there's normally big herds of sheep around, but they run away from us. And yeah, this poor buggers just come a little bit unstuck. I mean, it's like people. It's like any animal. You have health issues, you just drop dead sometimes. Potential snake bite.

[00:27:03]Unlikely. Unless he actually stood on a snake. Snake's not going to attack a sheep for no reason. But yeah, really, really weird.

[00:27:12]Next time we're here, it'll probably just be a skull or something. I think it just needs CPR, >> I reckon.

[00:27:17]>> Go record.

[00:27:18]>> Oh, look in the camera. Look at >> how beautiful that looks out there today. Look at the sun.

[00:27:24]>> And still no snake. It's my third time here and I've never seen >> Oh, you've not gotten a snake here. How is that, guys? Oh my god. And another super cool little skink for the day.

[00:27:34]This guy is the southern rainbow skink in the Caria genus. Now, even though it's cold and coming into winter, you can still see the reds and the colors on this skink. But coming into breeding season, the males turn super vivid. I'll have to pop back out and try and see one in breeding colors. How cool to tick off another little lizard for the day.

[00:27:53]Something super super cool I just noticed. Have a look when this Caria closes his eyes. It's got a lower eyelid. So watch the eyelid close up and it's got a semi-transparent scale. So his eyes shut right now but he can still see. So this helps protect him when he's being forial climbing underground. Stops anything from poking in the eye. How bloody cool is that?

[00:28:25]That's that for that chapter, eh? Unless we see something on the way home. How crazy is that? I just put the drone in the air, but it came back because the battery low and the battery's in the car, which I'm walking to. So, see putting it up in the air again. And Gabriel's getting upset. He's like, "Oh, come on, man. I'm going to hit a kangaroo. He already ran over that blue tongue and killed that sheep.

[00:28:50]All right, guys. How was that, eh? Hope you enjoyed another one. What did we find? Two skinks and a >> found nothing.

[00:28:57]>> Oh, we didn't even find the tiger snake.

[00:28:59]You got to see a tiger snake. So, did we? We didn't find it, but we found two snakes. I think one was a caria. You would have known by now. And the other one was out three times. So, it's cool.

[00:29:08]It's cool.

[00:29:08]>> Yeah, if you watch these videos and you think it's all funny and games, but we probably drove over 7 hours today. to see two skinks.

[00:29:15]>> So, at times it works, but at times it doesn't work.

[00:29:18]>> $300 tank of Petro.

[00:29:20]>> Two skinks, which you could have probably got in Sydney. As always, suggest where you want us to go. Tell us where you want us to go and we will go there.

[00:29:29]>> It's funny.

[00:29:31]>> Oh, it ripped the front. This thing's hanging down from when the kangaroo >> Yeah.

[00:29:36]>> and then it went over the thing which stops the wheels and then it ripped it off the other night.

[00:29:42]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tell us where you want to go. It's coming into winter, so we'll try and head north. Any suggestions, any animals you want to see, let us know. Like, subscribe, hype, all that good stuff, and we'll see you guys next week. Oh my god, look at Gabriel. It's not even saying goodbye.

[00:29:57]>> You're not even saying goodbye.

[00:29:58]>> Oh, goodbye. Following me on my socials, following me, Gabriel's Wild Life on Insta, and Gabriel the Snake Catcher on Facebook.

[00:30:05]>> All right, we'll see you next week.
