Not that I recommend it, but I can free-handle my colletts without too much concern...you're just unlucky Sturds :lol: They certainly get all huffy and puffy before you get your hand on them though. That said, it'll now probably bite me :lol: :lol:
yea i understand you'd have to go to the hospital, thats just common sense really, i guess im just wondering if any ppl that own them get worried when getting them out and stuff that you might get tagged?? like i said i would love to own one, but i'd be too freaked out to pull them out of their enclosure!!

I my self have never been tagged by a ven...
And for pain, that depends on the elapids thats bitten you..
a bite from a colletts or red belly is from what ive heard extreamly painful due to the venom which destroys muscle tissue
There has only ever been 1 recorded death from a RBB... "correct me if im wrong"

Hey moose like you i free handle my rbb as it was very hard to get feeding when it was young now it just loves to run over my fingers not that i recommend it for ever 1 and they can be unpredictable. I am more worried about gettting tagged by my big python as she is a real bitch....lol
when i was younger i was bitten by a copperhead in Tasmania... Was only my second call out to remove an unwanted snake... had it in the bag and the bloke i was getting it from grabbed the bag when i was looking and said i want to have a lokk... tipped out beside my leg and it tagged me on ankle.

Wow. Stunning photos everyone! Thanks heaps for taking the time..
I just love the RBBS.. they're amazing. Also so cool how they flatten out like that, though I know they aren't the only ones.
What are red bellies like as first venomous snakes?

Here are some photos of one of my RBB's. If all goes to plan, I may have some juvies available in the new year.
