I've had a herpetologist tell me that Aspedites (womas and black headed pythons) have small venom glands, but no way of injecting the venom. He also said that their bites show up as Tiger Snake bite on a VDK. Is this true? Are these pythons evolving venom glands or losing them?

Hello everyone, this is my first time enjoying your forum and second day in WA. I wouldn't call myself a herper, but I love to see snakes in the wild. I'm here on vacation until the 26th with a rent-car, my wife, and 5-year-old daughter. My daughter loves to see snakes too. Our visit is...

When I first moved to Australia I asked my year 9 science class to tell me all of the things that could harm or kill me so I could be on the look out. They were really gutted that I was going to be ripped a new one by a cassowary, envenomated by a stinger or a taipan, perhaps smashed by a...
