Now I know that this is going to start a heated debate, but seeing its not about what we are doing I don't think there's going to be a spitting match I just want peoples opinions on what they think of the RSPCA, rather than each other? My two meetings with them - I got reported about not...

"If you have bluetongues on your property, you dont have snakes" These two have been sharing the hollows under these steps for 2 years, according to the owners who got me to remove the tiger snake last week. The lady who took this pic was nice, but said she has been stalking this snake with a...

Hi all, A friend of mine was approached today by a teacher looking to buy some reptiles for a reptile room at a school. My question is, will they need a special license to keep the reptiles at a school or can they just have a standard class 1 license? Cheers Pinoy.

Thought I'd start off a fun thread for the weekend. As the title suggests in this thread using only pictures, we name herp species. (common or scientific names) Make the species association to the image as simple as the name of the thing in the image,(how it is spelt or how its pronounced)...

A DEADLY snake tightly knotted itself around a Kentish man's arm for more than an hour and dripped venom until rescuers arrived.The tale of how a three-foot-long copperhead snake came to be knotted around Anthony Bornstein's arm yesterday is not for the faint hearted.''I was leaning on a round...

Does anyone have any info they can share on albino tigers? I know there were a couple kicking around a few years ago, did it produce hets, die or still just kicking around with no luck yet? Or have there been any other ones pop up that people are likely to breed from?

hey guys, got a competition to see who knows the top ten most venomous LAND snakes in the world, results vary ALOT, just wanting to see, what you guys think.

I don't want to make light of this but notice the huge number of idiotic mistakes made by the institution. Perhaps the most telling is This indicates both a lack of training and an absence of emergency first aid procedures. Student died after being bitten by snake - Telegraph

For me, since I can remember I have loved the unusual and that doesn't only pertain to pets. My earliest memory of an exotic pet was not a great one. I was about 4, I vaguely remember that I used to go house to house trying to find frogs and I did find a lot. One day I learnt two truths. 1. I...

Ok so as much as illegal as it is to have them as a hypothetical what is the best First Aid because what is good for us for our native elapid when we're bitten may not be the same for exotics in the northern hemisphere. so do we pressure immobilise or not? can someone do a run through who has...

This old girl had a shed today. I should have taken her outside to do a better pic. She hatched in January 1998, so she will be 14y.o. in a couple of months. She has been a fantastic breeder and considering her age still looks pretty good...............

Since arriving in Australia 4 months ago, I've had the chance to spend a lot of time herping in and around SE Queensland, and have been lucky enough to be shown some fantastic spots by a mate local to the area. Our time is coming to an end in this area, as we're heading north to Cairns for Xmas...

This is from a worried M.O.P. I cant imagine 1 snake would have enough venom to kill 16 cattle in 20 minutes?? Mamba or not. This guy dosnt want to kill them but obviously will if he thinks his cattle will be affected. As with the other M.O.P question I posted about wetlands near schools, I...
