• A Lizard's Life

  Saturday, Jul 26, 2008 4:18AM / Standard Entry

  All animals on earth live for only one ultimate reason - reproduction. Their mission is simply to produce the best quality offsprings as they can, and as many as they can.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  So, why is the urban type of Homo sapiens different?

• Snakes Hunting

  Friday, Jul 25, 2008 3:52AM / Standard Entry

  Snake hunting is an exciting activity. but in prevention of overexpectation and disappointment, i always tell my crew that even the world's most experienced snake hunters don't get snake every time they hunt. Averagely 1 snake per day is a pretty high standard.

  First, let i try some water. I wanted to go deeper but the mic set couldn't get wet as we didn't have spares.

  

  Got the first one as an appetizer - Water Snake

  

  Crikey!

  

  Water snake bites can't kill but you don't want a bite - they have a lot of long, backward teeth

  

  They are a little venomous actually

  

  

  Green snake isn't always a dangerous one

  

  

  When the moon's over the head, it's our time... 

  

  

  

  Main course - Cobra!!

  

  

  

  It ain't too easy to hold the head as it kept rolling itself.. keep rolling rolling rolling.. and i don't wanna squeeze too hard to hurt it. The skill is to hold very very tight, but be very very gentle meanwhile.

  

  

  Never given up on trying to bite... i luv this cobra

  

  very close. But even if it spits venom, i guess my cheaters will save my lil chinky eyes

  

  Please note: Snake Hunting is not for everyone. Don't try this at home.

• In response to Nicholas Tse's stolen tortoise

  Tuesday, Jul 22, 2008 2:15PM / Standard Entry

  In response to Nic's blog: MISSING FRIEND!!!!!
  http://www.alivenotdead.com/nicholastse/MISSING+FRIEND--profile-220223.html

  I heard that news long ago. Even the news didn't mention i knew that was Nic's tortoise. The Aldabra tortoise is a giant, primitive, ancient species together with the Galapagos tortoise. These tortoises have their value on the trade, i mean pet trade. Aldabra is one of the most expensive tortoises in the trade. That's why they easily become a target for robbers who know that.

  The reptile trade is a minority but the shops and people in the industry are very complicated and "dark"... largely consist of smugglers, gangsters, money suckers etc. Yes, speechless for everyone to hear a tortoise was stolen in a shop, but i can tell you what.. stealing, breaking in, robbing, throwing red paint to reptile shops... are not uncommon

  well, in here i don't want to give any comment on the reptile exhibition and the animal provider, and how they treated the animals....

  anyway i wish best luck for Nic's nice aldabra. Don't worry much. As long as the tortoise has its value on the market the people won't want it die, at least, from an optimistic view.

  cheers

  turtle rules!

• Wolf Snake

  Thursday, Jul 10, 2008 12:08AM / Standard Entry

  Just found a little legless fellow a while ago during enjoying a house party in Mt Cameron Road, the Peak. It is a juvenile Wolf Snake. Probably it was the yummy, fleshy geckos that attracted it to come into the backyard of the house. This little fellow was fleeing so swiftly from my hands. It almost managed to get into somewhere to hide completely. Finally I grabbed it but was offered a speedy bite resulting another pair of tiny pinholes with blood on my hand.

  Common Wolf Snake (Lycodon aulicus), or 白環蛇 in chinese, is a medium-sized, non-venomous snake of the family Colubridae. In the wild they mainly prey on small lizards like geckos and skinks. Frogs are also seen to be fed on. These snakes are strictly nocturnal. They are generally not common in Hong Kong but I have found them in many localities in the New Territories and Hong Kong Island.
