I was recently thinking about the pre-digestion role certain toxins in venom play when elapids kill their prey. That made me start thinking about the fact that almost everyone feeds dead things to their snakes which made me start to wonder how that affects their digestion. This may be me lacking...

The season has gone by and I thought it would be nice to see some hatchling reptiles, so show us ya cute little reptilians! Cheers, Bohdi.

Just found this tiger snake today and reminded me of the variety of tiger snake colours patterns you can encounter even in the same locality. These are just a few tigers I have found in the Melbourne region, Please post any pics of tigers that you have come across anywhere in Australia. I'd love...

So I was giving the dog a bath and noticed a large hole in the dirt. We have had quite a lot of Wolf spiders at the moment and the kids are a little worried about em so I put the hose down it to see if it would come out.... as you do! After a while, these little white things came up and I...

hello Aussie herp keepers. I was wondering about the legalities of keeping reptiles in Australia?

As we have been selling some our of tanks lately, we have had a few coming over to check them out. Out of three people who ended up buying, two had exotics - one had corns and the other openly admitted he had boas! wasn't too surprised with the corn snake, but boaS, not just one, but a few, so...

I found it interesting in what type of anti vens are used for different species .... Immunotype Treatment of snakebite in a clinical setting depends in part on the immunotype to which the speces belongs. The Snake Venom Detection Kit (SVDK) helps with determining this information...

Hi there! Does some one have some information on the current status of Pseudechis weigeli? When I am searching around for information about Pseudechis I sometimes see the name weigeli. This would be a pigmy mulga from Australia. The pigmy mulga from PNG is mostly called Pailsus rossignollii...

Just Got my new Kangaroo Island Tiger, Here are some pics

Does anyone have any links to papers written going into detail on the different sub species of black tiger snakes? I understand most of the different island tigers have different scientific names and that there are black tigers on tassie and the mainland I'm just confused as to what belongs...

Hello There were reports of "Yellow Bellied Black Snakes" In my area but there is no such thing. Then i happened to stumble across the closest thing to fit that description. I thought it was just another type of brown snake but someone told me last night they think not. So herp mad pplz help...

Hey guys, I am looking for a pair of Black tiger snakes (N. ater ater OR N. ater niger), any age (but the younger the better!), preferably feeding well. Will pay freight to melbourne for interstate sellers. Must be a definite pair. Any help would be much appreciated, Regards, Trent.

I started a thread two days ago excited about going and helping a mate sort out some of his big tigers. He sold me this pair and has more for me in the future, these are nice, big boofy heads which is what I like and a little lighter which is good because I have a black male already and a black...

I'll be playing with a hand full of different black tiger snakes tomorrow and am bouncing with excitment, if all goes well I should have a few more nice specimens to add to the collection. So here I am all keen and eager and thought hmm, don't often see keepers posting pics of their black tiger...

Hello, people who decided to view this thread, I promised a friend I would post pictures of one of my favourite snakes, Alana, into a thread, so here it is. When I made that promise I didn't realise she was coming up for a slough, but all the same, I've done it. ...and to...

Just some pics I took at Billabong Koala Park. From left to right we have Coastal Taipan, Death adder, inland taipan and a red belly The taipans were very inquisitive. The flash frightened him but he came right over to the glass to check us out.

It is a common discussion amongst snake enthusiasts as to how vens compare re; toxicity, deadliness, etc... I thought you might find this table interesting, it is based on comparison with the toxicity of the Indian Cobra venom, which is assigned a 1 rating. The table is not mine, but comes...

Post from doc after judgement. All in all, that was a good effort. When you give out the scores could you point out that I rewarded points for picking the differences and for pointing out the exceptions to the rule as well (e.g. snakes have forked tongues and lizards don?t ? except goannas...

Hey all, i've had some mixed feedback as to wether or not i'm a fool for handling elapids without propper training. please add own personal experiences.

Hi Guys, All those in the Newcastle, Central Coast and Sydney areas, do not forget that the SOFAR reptile expo is on tomorrow(21/11/04) at the Wet Lands centre at Newcastle. It was a great day last year, and this year should be even better. If you have nothing on tomorrow why not come...

For those after a Saturday afternoon chuckle ... National Geographic Channel are screening a new "Snake Wranglers" featuring one of my trips to Reevesby Island chasing black tiger snakes tomorrow afternoon (5.30pm in Qld). Cheers David
