I have lots of respect for people like this, shame he died so young. I have always found taipans an extremely interesting species, but i cant say i want to touch one, or more so be touched by one. Will setlle for my venomous common tree snakes.

I only have a quarter clue... Or maybe 1/8th... Perhaps 1/16 depending on the topic.... But I'll still put it out there for the general public to rub it in my face - to prove you don't need to be a genius to give the worst possible advice!!!!
This is a good thing, i like to post stuff that is to the best of my knoweldge so i can encourage others who actually know to correct me, i usually try to add in that i dont really know for sure etc. so it isnt taken as proven fact. Im pretty sure you have a similar approach although i cant really prove it

You should go for a drive around the top of NT. Seems to be a regular pass time up there.
ps, I hope I'm not a pilot too, if I am I have been wasting my time doing what I'm doing. I will give QANTAS a ring today and check.

The most common cause of snake bites are snakes surely?

There's a General Pet store here in the northern Suburbs who also have SUCH knowledgable people at the counter!! Apparently, Bearded Dragons DONT need UV, and hand out such advice freely to any poor newbie who will listen, that's dangerous, so much so, that I know of two beardies who were 'rescued' by another herp store owner, and offered to those who can give these two poor things a good home, one of them has deformities in his legs, he would have made a perfectly magnificent specimen if he had been kept healthy, and the girl was very much weakened, and requires an awful lot of care and nurturing now to hopefully get her back tosome semblance of health. Why the heck isn't ssomething done about amateur pet shop owners and assistants who havent got a clue, yet still offer bad advice, and get away with it!!
Surely, there should be some form of specialist training and testing before a shop can sell reptiles to ensure they know what they're talking about.
Well, theres my tuppenceworth, for what it's worth.

In actual fact it's a combination. Snakes + idiocy or complacency.

I know a man who was bitten by an inland taipan in the Hunter Valley in NSW. He was in a bad way but pulled through. I think they had to helicopter anti-venom down from Brisbane for him.

When at all did I say that I would be going to Petstop on Saturday? Now, Lambert, you seem happy to badmouth the man openly on an internet forum but have you brought up your issues with him personally? I have known the man (not going to name names) for a few years now and he is rather knowledgeable and sources animals from breeders of high repute in this hobby (so I'm sure he himself learns from some of the best). Also, if it is unfortunate that you will be going there on Saturday, why? If you don't like it there, don't go, easy.
Also, judging by prior posts of yours, and your signature, you don't actually own any reptiles, specifically lizards. Therefore, how can you make a judgment in regards to the care of lizards and reptiles when you yourself have bugger all experience and no personal observations to compare to..? Yeah you could have read all the books and internet posts in the world but that is nothing when all you are trying to do is badmouth a person who actually has kept and bred reptiles for years based on their keeping methods and husbandry techniques. My suggestion is that you think carefully about your own levels of experience and knowledge based on HANDS ON experience, not how much you've read, before posting such nonsense.
