Thanks Scott, had it listed under the wrong name. Bit hard to see the image when it is so small. Will try and find the pic later.

Is there any way that ven keepers can have antivenom on hand if they pay for it? Would be easier than having to fly it in from up north or something if it was a species from far away.

Well what happened Jay was as this guy is so small i wanted him to feed straight up and his head twisted in my fingers and managed to get 1 fang into me... I went to hospital the doctor asked me if i keep antivenom i said "no" His reply was "your screwed then as the death adder is an exotic species"... After afew words he finally realised that they were native Australian snakes and after some more investigating we find out that Bendigo hospital stocks the synthetic anti venom..

You need to remember that doctors are experts in the feild of saving lives not in the feild of reptiles. He was probably told that hospitals don't stock AV for anything other than elapids and made the mistake of thinking death adders are adders, which i think is reasonable.

Oh ok yeah that makes sense Gordo (both of you ). So did you not need the AV because you treated it properly when you first got tagged?

Technically adders are exotic to the bendigo area and I'm surprised they stock the anti-venom, I thought they would have to fly it up from Melbourne.
