The Basking Spot

I wasn’t able to get a picture of it at the time so I tried to paint it from memory !

A spooky and snakey little short I've been working on! 🧡 Happy Halloween!

Crested dreco!

No worries here at all! Kenyan sand boas are big diggers - this snake is trying to burrow in the glove and isn’t sure why it’s not working out so hot. They’ll figure it out eventually.

If you're in Australia and you were bitten by a venomous snake, it was 100% an elapid so things are a bit more dire. This is the one exception in the world where you should use a compression bandage if you know how - they're disastrous for viper bites, but you know you weren't bitten by a viper. Keep the bitten area as still as you possibly can - if it's on a limb and you know how to make a splint, do that. If you're not alone, have whoever's with you get help and you stay put - avoid moving as much as possible. You will still usually have time to make it to antivenin, but knowing what to do is essential when you're stuck far away from help because elapid bites just don't have the same kind of wiggle room as most viper bites. Calling for help is absolutely crucial, and there's not a lot of time to do it if you're out in the bush hours away from antivenin, but if you can keep yourself still and keep the bite area immobilized, you increase your odds of survival! You won't need to worry as much about identifying the species in Australia, of all places, because the hospital you make it to will know your local species and there are quite a few polyvalent antivenins.

It’s a shame that there isn’t a popular gummy snack out there that’s shaped and colored like an eastern newt with how… gummy-like they are
