so i work for a vet that owns a few different clinics around the area. and i got a call this morning from one of the the nurses at one of our other clinics sayign there was a snake inside the clinic, and she was a bit afraid. so anyways i drive over there and i find a 2ft yellow faced whip snake juvi. will have to get pics, so i pop him in a container and bring him with me as he will need to be released. 2 hrs later the nurse calls me again sayign that i msut have let it go jsut outside instead of takign it with me because there is another snake in the same place. so i drive back over and its another yellow faced whip snake a little bigger then the first. while im there i had a look around for how they were getting in and it must be snake haven there as there was 2 nice sized brown snake skins jsut out the back door and water dragons all aroudn the place to lots of trees and a dam so its perfect for herps.
but on a slightly different note, i dont know fi anyoen else int eh idustry is finding this but the eastern brown snakes bite is affecting coagulation a lot more this year in dogs then what it was last year, we are finding that we need numerous vials of antivenine before the clotting factors are returning to normal. i foudn this interesting as technically its the black snakes that cuase a higher coagulopathy and the browns more so affectign the nervouse system. so yes i foudn it interesting.
now i just need a camera to snap a pic of these little guys.
cheers
