RIP Peter Steele.

....Imagine all the annoying snake related phone calls vets may be receiving in the weeks after that episode was on television.
Why couldn't he just have explained that although it was a non-venomous diamond python, there are also snakes out there that can look similar to the untrained eye and it's very important to have a snake correctly ID'd before contemplating moving it.
That's what I thought. He approached the area said it could be this he hopes it isn't this went closer as he couldn't see the entire snake to make a judgement call on length when all the snake wasn't exposed lifted the skimmer lid saw that it was a diamond python and started to capture for reloaction.
Is it Mark Simpson? Not sure last name but have heard the vet at West Wallsend is specialist with reptiles. Friends of mine with GTPs trust him enough to operate on their snakes. Sounds like he must know what he's doing.
I went to an educational afternoon about Snakes and Skulls and even this guy mentioned the similarity between a diamond and broadheaded. I would like to own one, but I can't even keep my pythons in their enclosures, let alone keeping a venomous one. Ha! Will just visit my friends to admire theirs.
How'd you guess.Yes it was Mark Simpson.
no, as a vet of Australian fauna he should at least have basic knowledge of local species one would think,
also im positive, on veterinarian scale he certainly is not a tall poppy my local vet thats Indian born knows more about local species than him...
