Here is my latest rescue, can you guess what it is. I picked it up from Parklea Correctional Centre. The guy that found it was actually bitten by it as he let it roam around his cell. It stopped moving so he picked it up and it tagged him on the finger. Luckily it didn't penetrate the skin or it was a dry bite as he was OK. I told him he was lucky not to be in intensive care.
The little guy will be released in a similar area to the RBB I released the other day, right away from members of the public. Hopefully he will grow to be a nice adult one day.   |

| LOL, man your way off.
It's funny how some are banded like that when young but loose them as they grow.

They caught this one though and didn't bother with the rest. Made me wonder why you would bother catching just one.
