nice mate

If you get 10 different albinoes you still probably won't have two which look the same

These are babies from last year. This year's should be born any time now

 

[Jay84]

Freshly shed babies!

 

[disintegratus]

They're very cute, in a kind of "mess with me and I'll kill you" kind of way. I'd love to get some elapids one day, but right now, I'm really bad at not getting bitten so I might stick to pythons til I grow a brain.

 

[CaptainRatbag]

Unreal :shock: I'll be sticking with pythons tho, I is a woose I know hehehehehehe

 

[ingie]

Gorgeous!! Makes me want some.....

 

[edstar]

Love death adders. Sooo cool. Keep the pics coming!!

 

[Knobbies]

Jay awesome animals you've got there have you ever nearly been bitten by any of them??? Also would the babies still pack a bite of venom if they were to bite you??

 

[Sdaji]

Also would the babies still pack a bite of venom if they were to bite you??

No, just an itsy bitsy bit. Enough to trigger anaphylaxis if you're extremely unlucky though

Nope, i've never come close to being bitten, they are definitely an animal you don't want to take for granted!

Sdaji, at what age do you think their venom is strong enough to cause issues?

 

[Snake-Supplies]

there is no way I'd get one.

 

[imported_Varanus]

Good things come to those who wait!

 

[gozz]

My Death Adder

 

[r3ptilian]

Ive seen the "scale-less" adders b4, but that takes the cake Waterrat....

My Death Adder

 

[moosenoose]

This WAS my adder before I sold him off

This IS my only red belly I'm keeping at the moment. he's got a bit of attitude :lol:

Sdaji, at what age do you think their venom is strong enough to cause issues?

If you include anaphylaxis, about three seconds. If not, it's hard to say. I know a fair few people who have been bitten by itsy bitsy ones and anaphylaxis aside I don't know of any reactions worse than a mosquito bite or bee sting. Maybe a large newborn Barkly could knock you around a fair bit more. I'd guess size would be more important than age, but I really don't know how the size vs. venom yield/danger curve would look. I used to start considering them 'dangerous' after their first feed (not that there would be any great difference after one feed), which is fine other than anaphylaxis... but I got anaphylaxis, so now I figure it's best to be extremely careful with anything, even if it's small or a mildly venomous species.

Definitely best just to make sure you never get bitten by any elapid. Any species or size can give you anaphylaxis, and that can kill you much faster than the direct effects of the venom.

Here are my female and male RBB's, and some Barkly adders that were born in March. Baby adders do pack enough to put you in hospital, so please take everybodys advice and don't get complacent.
