25.01.2022 Hiya everyone, Just wanting to share this greatly informative documentary, created by Ross McGibbon. I promised myself I’d wait to watch it on my birthday, it’s... been a three month wait, but it is so very worth it! Thanks Ross, for some great information!

22.01.2022 I share this for one single reason snakes will fight to live through the most heinous of injuries so please please don't try to hurt them and if a accident has occurred please call for help we do rescue them and at least save them from a deplorable death. Pets can inflict puncture wounds through to lungs and infections result in some cases they can take months to die .... No matter how you hate them they don't deserve this!

18.01.2022 Ayer recibí de mi dentista Luis Zambrano, esta víbora coralillo, uno de los tres géneros de víboras venenosas de mi área. La encontró casualmente, con un desgar...re de piel provocado por un gato feral. La piel escamosa había sido removida en una considerable parte de su cuerpo, pero afortunadamente se había recogido hacia atrás, como si fuera un calcetín. Con anestesia local, pudimos acomodársela, para volverla a unir con sutura. Espero liberarla pronto en un hábitat apartado. Aunque venenosas, merecen vivir cumpliendo su función en su ecosistema. @blackjaguarwhitetiger See more

13.01.2022 Snakes are not the smartest creatures, this Scrub Python decided a dog blanket would make a good meal and managed to swallow most of it before it was noticed and Kylee managed to extract it.

11.01.2022 You won't believe what this snake had for breakfast. It was removed from under the homestead at Parry Creek Farm in the east Kimberley. Then something a bit gro...ss and very extraordinary happened. : Amanda Jongedyk

08.01.2022 A Tasmanian Coroner has released findings in relation to the death of a 78 year old Interlaken sheep farmer who was bitten by a 1400mm tiger snake on the 28th o...f January 2020 and died two days later. The Coroner said the man had been riding his quad bike with his dog when he encountered the snake, the snake was coiled around the man’s arm right up to his neck and latched onto his right hand. The man’s dog returned to the man’s home and raised the alarm where help was summoned and the man was located laying on the ground near his quad. An ambulance attended and the man was administered anti venom then flown to the RHH by the Tasmania Police Westpac rescue helicopter and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit where he later died of multiple organ failure. The Coroner said an opinion regarding the cause of death was provided by Dr Donald Ritchey, State Forensic Pathologist, after examining the man and his medical records. She said Dr Ritchey noted that the man had paired puncture marks consistent with snake bites to his thigh and back of his right hand. Dr Ritchey found that the cause of the mans death was multiple organ failure in the setting of neuropathy and coagulopathy caused by tiger snake (Notechis scutatus) envenomation. In this report, Dr Ritchey stated: Tiger snakes are highly venomous snakes native to Southeast Australia including Tasmania. The principal toxic component of Notechis venom is thought to be a pre-synaptic neurotoxin called notexin. The effect of this component likely was observed clinically by paralysis and cardiac arrest as recorded in the medical record. Snake venoms are produced by highly evolved salivary glands that invariably contain a spectrum of biologically active proteins and enzymes in addition to small organic molecules that also have toxic effects. Coagulopathy (abnormal bleeding) and associated multiple organ failure are a common pathophysiologic mechanism of death in fatal snake bites. The Coroner said The death by tiger snake envenomation represents a tragic but rare occurrence as noted by DPIPWE in its report for this investigation, all three land snakes in Tasmania have highly toxic venom. However, the risk of people being bitten by snakes is low. This is due to snakes being naturally shy animals, their first form of defence being to move away from the danger. If snakes feel trapped, threatened or startled, they may defend themselves and attempt to bite, sometimes biting multiple times. A number of people are bitten in Tasmania each year, the majority being either snake enthusiasts keeping snakes or people trying to either kill snakes or remove them. People who accidentally tread on snakes are also occasionally bitten. "There have been three deaths from snake bites, including this man, since 1948. This is due to the availability of snake antivenom and effective pressure immobilisation first aid treatment. Most bites are on the person’s arms or legs. The application of effective pressure bandages over the area of the bite and further up the limb helps prevents the movement of venom through a person’s lymphatic system. This treatment ‘buys’ valuable time which enables the person who has been bitten to be transferred to medical care and, if required, to receive antivenom the Coroner said.

07.01.2022 Several Tiger Snakes on a log. This log is huge, hollow, sunny and it's right over the water. A one-stop shop for safe hiding places, basking spots and prey it's an adventure playground for Tiger Snakes; and apparently it can accomodate several!

05.01.2022 Moral of the story: don’t ever limit a snake’s escape route! Great dog/snake interaction, sorry about the video quality, I just recorded the screen from my phon...e. Was very comforting to watch the footage and see there was no contact (I called my vet anyway). I have a snake living under my front deck. Thought it was a RBB, but now thinking possibly Eastern Small Eyed. I’ve been hearing him in the bushes at the front of the house when I go past, but he’s never been seen until last month when my brother was visiting. Then again yesterday, when he was sunning himself half out of the deck, just below my dog’s bed (caught by surprise because a visitor approached from the lawn and not out the door). He’s a chilled old Mastiff, spoilt inside dog, but sunbakes out there in the morning. Anyway... after the sighting yesterday my husband and our farm manager had the bright idea to cover all of the holes at the front side of the deck with turf and bricks, to force the snake to go to the far end of the deck to get back under (left of the first photo). I objected, saying it was safest for the snake and the dog if he could just always scoot back under the deck whenever he hears our vibrations as we walk out the front door (I’m assuming that’s what happens as we’ve never encountered him before, but based on his little worn tracks he’s in and out a lot). Buddy was having lunch, I looked out the door to see if he’d finished, and saw him sniffing the snake as it came up on to the deck. The poor snake was terrified, and just wanted to nope the hell out of there back to his safety under the deck and was trying to find a way to get there. When I saw it I started screaming, Buddy! Leave it! Get away! A bit hysterically I stopped recording the footage and he walked away to the left. I’m not particularly comfortable having the snake there, but as he lives under the deck there’s nothing I can do about it. Jayden (snake catcher from Mid North Coast) came last month when we saw the snake, and said he will never catch him unless we can keep him out in the open. That will never happen. And I’m not prepared to block off the deck and trap the snake inside to die. Needless to say, I’ve removed all of the hole coverings so the poor shy little guy can just go back to being safe. Sorry it’s so wordy, just wanted to give full background in case anyone has any solution suggestions that I’m missing. See more

01.01.2022 Look out for snakes !!! An Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) rests on a tree trunk with its wings closed. It has a wingspan up to 25 cms. A bird, hoping for a snack, c...reeps closer, until it's within striking distance. Just as it’s about to pounce, the moth’s wings spring open and bamm !! Instead of a moth, the bird suddenly sees two snake heads. Confused and startled, the bird flies away and the moth gets to live another day.
