I had to go out to one yesterday,
The lady who saw it called it a whippa,
because that is what she said they called them where she grew up in Tasmania.
Now with the introduction of Kookaburras to Tasmania, D.corronoides is becoming rare in some areas where it used to be comon.
Also, this year I had Ken Winkel ask for samples of the whitelip venom which I supplied to him as well as smalleyed venom,
which is very different of course.
So yeah, whitelipped whipsnakes
The whitelip bit a guy in Frankston and we identified it for the hospitol
who contacted us because they had no idea, lol..
The other pic is of the smalleyed from Rosebud being milked.
