That's the risk with keeping venomous animals, It only takes one miscalculation to end up in the papers, at least he didn't end up published near the classifieds.....
Stories like this do not bode well for keepers as they will inevitably lead to a tightening of what we are allowed to keep. There is a view amongst friends who I believe are in the know that it is just a matter of time before keepers in Victoria will no longer be allowed to keep venomous snakes. Every incident like this brings this day closer.
so who took the bite? is it someone starting with R and last name starting with H
well i just got off the phone talking to him and he was not in a critical condition in fact he will be home from the hosp this morning,it was a bite from one of his baby adders he had a bit of swelling around the lips which they gave him adrenaline for which fixed him,he was never hallucinating and did not collapse he did not need or get any anti venom. he also does not breed or keep exotics . i am sure he will be on here later today.
