Boyfriend and I found this guy on the side of a dirt road... as we pulled over so I could take a photo of the landscape. He was about 50cms away from the front tyres so we shooed him from the road in case he found his end. Was only a small critter, I'd say a year or two old. Not sure though.

On the Decc website they say the Fierce snake is presumed extinct. I thought they were just really hard to find? Anyone ever seen one or heard of someone seeing one?

Hey Im just wondering if many people work at wildlife parks/zoos or bigger petshop ect and if so what do you look after? cheers:)

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.
