Hi found this little guy at work today wondering what it is

Has anyone out there been bitten by a venomous creature? and if so what creature, what were the circumstances and what effect did it have? I just thought it might make an interesting thread.

We all know that most snakes dont do well with other snakes. But I was wondering if there are any snakes that are often found in groups in the wild. Thanks

Gday All, Now I know that they are venomous but some info on them says they are potentially very dangerous and others seem to imply that a bite from one would be of no real oncern. The reason I ask is that we get quite a few of them around the house and just want to know a bit more about them...

Hello all, I was recently talking to a few people that keep elapids and the like i brought up the topic of class one elapids it seems there are huge amounts of interest for these elapids i myself have jumped in on the fun with these amazing elapids. We are now seeing quite a few number of...

Hi all! I am from the Netherlands, and I have a big interest in Aussie Elapids. But for me it is pretty difficult to find some good info on some of your species. So I hoped that people over here can tell me something of the next animals in captive and wild conditions... Cacophis harriettae...

Hi guys, I'm back with another id query. This was taken by a mate of mine just north of Sydney and the closest guess I could come up with was a Burtons Legless Lizard with a swollen head :) Having flipped through Wilson & Swan I've still got nothin, so I'm hoping one of you can shred some light...

Fact or Fiction. I have always believed and understood that elapids aren't as elastic as pythons and that they should be fed smaller feeds. Recently, however I have experimented and am starting to think that this is fiction. What are other keepers opinions.

Having read the albino jungle thread it got me thinking, what are the actual 100% confirmed albino species that have been found/bred in Australia. Not the "i have heard" there is one, but actual confirmed sightings, including any that have been found in eggs or hatched but not survived. We all...
