Bearded dragons don’t raise their young. It’s like turtles, as you mentioned

Each snake has its own personality, I’d probably say the small western browns are often the trickiest to deal with though.

Glad you could see it. Such a nice snake

@@SaMaNtHa.2023 I’m so glad he had the thought of putting the camera out there so we could share it with everyone

@@grandmothergoose good information mate. I’ve recently had some concerning talks with our local ED and they advised similar. They said they still do have mono but poly is the go to. My issue with that is that poly requires lots more of it and can cause serious health implications down the track

@@brokenhillsnakecatchers One or two doses of polyvalent antivenom is a far better option than messing about wasting time with tests that are not always conclusive and playing guessing games with which monovalent antivenom is needed - not to mention the problems of uneducated people attempting to capture or kill to ID snake species in hopes of correctly guessing what antivenom is needed just in case the tests at hospital are inconclusive. Inconclusive test results used to happen a LOT more than you'd think, and the tests take precious time that some people can't afford. The long-term damage of the venom itself is far more damaging. Bit of fun trivia, one of the potential long-term effects of black snake venom, specifically redbelly black snake, is complete loss of taste which can be a delayed effect that doesn't kick in until days, weeks, months, and in some people years after being bitten by the snake.

@ I’ve actually heard of cases where people required in excess of a dozen vials of poly. Hospitals are now saying they no longer use vdk kits much these days and this apparently was driven by poor training and staff not knowing how to use the test correctly and getting it wrong. I still feel that education around this is the ultimate goal and that hospitals especially in remote areas should receive better funding for training opportunities. Some snakes have strange long term effects and a bloke I know is actually dealing with the ongoing issues associated from an eastern brown and I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone.

You are most welcome

Absolutely right. There are some animals that will do the same and it’s purely to slow the venom down and the theory is that the body is able to process the venom little bit at a time.

The do occur in parts of Queensland. Predominantly the south eastern regions.

Hi mate, it’s purely because setting up for this kind of thing is very expensive and there isn’t a big call for it. There are institutes set up specifically for this process however we don’t have that luxury.

We can certainly work on a video like that for you. Leave it with me for a while

Also if you look back in the channel, I should have a full first aid video uploaded. If not though, I’ll find it again and upload it

I think my wife loved the comment and the explanation of lambert so I reckon that will stick

I think your wife was like not another pet. 😂 I think that's a really cool name for him too Lambert.

Thanks mate. It would be bloody awesome if we start seeing more big mulgas

I dont think so. Google photos look different to this one

I googled that but nothing came up

Are you able to identify this little bug by any chance?

We are pretty close to known locations. As a general rule, no, but back in the early 2000’s we did get one that may have lived here or may have hitched a ride in on a vehicle.

Spot on mate

Even hatchling Easterns in our area almost never have rings weirdly enough

@brokenhillsnakecatchers aw really. Never would've thought that, I'm in the hunter valley and I'd say nearly all the hatchies I've seen have had them.

@@callanmurphy9807 it’s crazy how the same species in a different area can exhibit different traits

@brokenhillsnakecatchers yeh considering the grounds are somewhat similar. I had a good size 2m at our old place in the upper hunter and he was just your average brown, but then had a 1.2m and he was a tad lighter with some banding still, faint but there.

Maaaate, if you’re ring is any other colour than brown, you might want to book a drs appointment haha

@@brokenhillsnakecatchers haha yeh true 🤣

We still have suggestions coming in. I think we’ll do a poll on our Facebook page from the suggestions and let you all vote for him

Thank you for being here mate. Appreciate you

I certainly haven’t forgotten about you mate. I’m just waiting for a very stock standard juvenile eastern to come in and I’ll be on it for you mate. I might even end up going through some old footage and see what I can make up for you. Really appreciate you being here mate. ❤

@@brokenhillsnakecatchers no dramas... you guys doing a great job. the only thing i would mak a comment about was the handling of the small snake; i'd hate to think that there were young viewers out there who thought that was ok...kind regards

@@HC-cz8bs I do agree mate. I try to regularly say in videos not to copy but some people will do what they’re going to do I guess. Always appreciate peoples thoughts too. Thanks mate

We still have suggestions coming in. There’s some good ones

@PaxAlotin-j6rlittle nugget!!! Hopefully he comes back soon

If you kind of cool in nugget you might want to steal him because gold nugget or he's a chicken nugget might want to eat him ori could be a poo nugget. I like Barry. Either way it's a kind of cool name nugget or Barry

They can be grumpy little tackers at times that’s for sure

Certainly is. He’s related to the mulga and red belly

Thank you!!

Thanks mate. Appreciate you being here

Haha very well

@@freddempster4085 but he didn’t bite me

@@brokenhillsnakecatchers well, those berries he ate disagree with you. Hungry boy.

Yeah we’re of the same thought. Head shape apparently is another give away as they get older but I am far from an expert on lizards. Is there a way to know for sure when they’re this young or is it something that will become apparent as he gets older?

Haha

Larry the lizard haha

@@larpbusters sure was. Eastern brown

Where have I heard Mogie before?

@@brokenhillsnakecatchers I named my iguana that, and I named my Husky Chow mix that name as well, when I got him years later. Both are gone to the great one now.

Funny you should say that. At this age it’s very hard to tell if it’s a boy or girl without intrusive sexing. I have consulted a very experienced lizard friend that said she’s fairly sure he will be a male based on his head shape so we’re going to assume it’s a boy

All good my friends

He does look like a rock after all haha

Barry the Berry eater ! ❤

​@@thesandboxgod​ didn't anybody tell you Barry not to eat the ghost drop blueberries are you will end up with a blue tongue. Big Barry loves his strawberries. 😂

@@thesandboxgodhaha
