Very interesting Australasian Elapid venom composition. You would expect more neurotoxins in there, wouldn't you?

Yes indeed

Gorgeous snake, I love those colors.
Don't really remember having seen these offered much. Awesome snake.
Do you have a female for this guy?

It´s such a fantastic snake!!!

I like all Pseudechis...

Thanks! I will get a female in September or October

Hey there

I`ve just read in the Australian magazine Scales & tails,
that the Collett`s snake got an new name (Cannia colletti)

As a reson they say that the Red Bellied Black Snake the type member of the genus
[/i](Pseudechis)[i] is.
And the rest of the genus moves to the next available name which is (Cannia )[i]!

Has somebody got any further information about that?


Thanks

Falk
