Just saw some of the pics you posted on fb. Sounds like a very scary experience. Glad to hear you are recovering though.
 
Everything should be fine
Finger has no feeling but moves ok
Blood from finger runs red when needled
No obvious sign of infection
Taste a bit stuffed
Overall a great result so far

People wonder why our education at schools works so well
Wonder no more

With the increase in population competing for space to live in it seems that something has to give. Is the incedence of snake bite in Indonesia, one or the worlds most concentrated populations, increasing?
 
In Bali it is decreasing and I put some of that down to education
Not sure about the rest
We are on the point of setting up something similar to BRR in Kalimantan Jakarta and Yogjakarta
After that we will have more information Wokka

loving those Kings mate. Are they being found more commonly than what they used too? And what species ïs it that you commented on "too many turning up"? Are wild retics generally nasty?

We have been studying/saving/educating about kings for a few years now
Finally starting to pay off with locals ringing us more often instead of killing them
Plenty way up in the valleys if you know where to look
Only relocate ones too close to people
We find one or two every 2day tour up there
No other place on Earth seems to have a similar density

Retics are funny
Can be puppy dog tame or pure psychotic

Too many turning up is bungarus candidus, malayan krait morphs
Get them black/white, grey/white pure black, and metallic brown
Makes id at 1am in the rain a bit tricky
 
Some of you may recognise these happy faces

Because of our dedication to all wildlife we have become more and more involved with trying to save proboscis monkeys in Southern Kalimantan
We have just been given a small island [18hectares] by the government
This island has a small group of resident proboscis already
It also appears to have sufficient food supplies etc
Basically it comes down to this
If we can improve the island and safeguard it the government has promised our group a much larger one for the second stage
This will include cleaning up the island and planting many more trees, lots of local education, security etc etc
5 volunteers needed a 14 day period from 25th September

Secondly
Wild orangutans are present on an unused mining concession
Working in with another group we have a tricky task
If we can prove their existence and sustainability in that area we can get the mining concession cancelled and designated as a protected area

If anybody is interested in actually getting heavily involved with conservation let me know

That's a great development Peter! 8)
I'm sure there's quite a few conservation-minded Aussies keen to get involved in these projects.
Keep up the good work!

That could be interesting. Can you share any more info on it? So 2 weeks from the 25th of September? Would we meet you at the island? In kuta etc??
 
We would meet in bali or banjarmassin in borneo
you pay your own flights
both jakarta and bali will get you to banjarmassin [return flight cost bali/banjarmassin or jakarta/banjarmassin approx $160]
apart from flights your costs would be $200 for food transport in borneo and accommodation
all transport etc in borneo included
in borneo you will be doing 3 things
cleaning up the island and planting trees
educational trips to local schools and villages
1 day into real jungle
 
Maybe the ultimate king cobra photo??

More photos later if possible

we have done we could at this stage...
upper body wound clean closed and not bleeding.. no obvious major internal organ damage... no wheezing or lung noise...
same with wound near tail,,,,
stomach wound leaking fluid..no food in stomach. no scent of putrification...
large dose of antibiotics,,,
used 5 day antibiotics rather than 2day baytril because of probability of stress and movement with injections causing more damage.... hoping stomach closes by itself...
wont need food for a while... if stomach wound closes should survive.. wait and see now.....
bedded down in bamboo leaves now
