	Brian Bush's Homepage
		With Western Australia’s Carnac Island population there are a couple of different scenarios offered to explain its occurrence, although I am more than a little sceptical, but one of these is quite a romantic tale nevertheless.
		Carnac was an extension of Garden Island, which also has its population of tiger snakes, before being separated with the rising sea level.
		The islands were infrequently and poorly sampled in the early days (Brad Maryan, WAM), with the first WA Museum accession from Garden Island not collected until 1930 (R2997) and from Carnac (R4975 collected by Serventy) not until 15 October 1934.

		Xavier said that Carnac Island had about 400 tiger snakes, which grew to 1.5m and lived between five and 10 years.
		Carnac was an ideal place for snake research, with a big population of snakes easy to catch and compare with another population nearby on the mainland, at Herdsman Lake, where there were more tiger snakes but generally smaller.
		He said they could swim and might make the distance between Carnac and Garden islands, but it was most likely that they had been left there when the sea cut Carnac off from the mainland millions of years ago.

		Carnac is the most dramatic of all the Breton sites, with more than 3,000 prehistoric stone monuments.
		A recurring phenomenon of the Armorican peninsula, on which Carnac is located, is strong radioactivity and an unusually tight network of telluric lines.
		The most remarkable and commendable aspect of Jean Markale's approach, in Carnac and the Enigma of Atlantis and throughout his Secret History of France, is that he celebrates the unknown rather than denies it.

	Murdoch University Digital Theses
		Carnac Island Nature Reserve is one of the main sites where people can view sea lions near Perth, either during recreational activities or on commercial tours.
		The visitor survey indicated that many visitors to Carnac Island had a recreational focus that was not primarily directed towards sea lion viewing (‘incidental ecotourists’).
		It is anticipated that the continued increase in visitation to Carnac Island from recreation and from tourism will result in intensified competition for space between humans and sea lions.

		Firstly, marine transgression 5000 to 7000 years ago - this is the typical scenario for island inhabitants and is perfectly viable for the snakes.
		Secondly, emigration from nearby Garden Island - the Garden Island tigers are common and it may be possible that somehow, either by swimming or floating on vegetation, a snake or two may have made it to Carnac and the population exploded from there (sought of an Adam and Eve thing!).
		A travelling showman, named Rocky Vane, was forced, by local police, to release his collection of 70 tiger snakes after he killed his wife and assistant by trying to build up their immunity to tiger snake venom by snake bite (nice guy!).

	Science Show - 20/05/00: Why do snakes have eyes?
		On a island just off Perth in Western Australia zoologist Don Bradshaw found that snakes who have had their eyes pecked out by seagulls manage just as well as snakes with eyes.
		The startling discovery was that as we kept coming back to this island over two or three years we kept finding the same blind snakes which we'd marked.
		If they were living on the mainland where their diet is primarily frogs and when they have to forage a little bit harder I think their life span would be dramatically shortened if not lead to death.

		The second population, on Carnac Island off the coast of Western Australia southwest of Fremantle, preyed on silver-gull chicks and had larger heads.
		A team including the University of Sydney's Professor Richard Shine tested whether the different head sizes were the result of genetic mutations or a lifetime physical adaptation to the environment, known as adaptive developmental plasticity.
		"The island snakes are not only born with large heads, they can get even bigger by having that plasticity; if they only have small prey they'll end up with pretty small heads but if they encounter large prey, rather remarkably...

		Around 44% of sightings, and 57% of the total number of seadragons sighted, have come from locations in the WA South Coast Bioregion; 50% of sightings (40% of seadragons) have been recorded from the Leeuwin - Naturaliste Bioregion, and 4% of sightings (2% of seadragons) have come from the Central West Coast.
		Although this may reflect the accessibility of these areas, it is interesting to note the importance of local, developed (and in some cases, polluted) areas as habitat for these species.
		On Rottnest Island, 4 records of leafies came from Little Parakeet Bay and Grouper Caves, with single sightings from a number of other locations around the island (Salmon Point, West Point, Parker Point, Roe Reef, Porpoise Bay, Nancy Cove, Fay’s Bay, Duck Rock, and Monday Rock).
