can you buy a tiapan or other aussie snakes legally?

why is the earth round? sorry so many questions

Been bit? Yes, but not by any cobras, and the others were dry bites with no venom injected.

No I don't milk them; plenty of others do it. One guy in Australia, Dr. Brian Fry, is probably the leading venom researcher in the world.

Mate, I wish I could get some Aussie reptiles. There are a few king browns and eastern browns available now and then, but placed very carefully amongst certain better known hobbyists. Papuan Taipan's and Death Adders are fairly easy to get hold of. No coastal or inland taipans though, which ar 2 I really want, plus any of the tiger snakes. Aussie, as you probably well know, doesn't allow the exportation of its wildlife except for Zoological interests.

I have no f#cking clue why the earth is round; maybe the CREATOR was playing marbles and it was more convenient to have the planets round
You'd have a ball here I could go and unearth a tiger within ten miniutes of here and a brown within a half day. plenty of blacks and copperheads if you know where to look too.

Tasmania has some nasty big tasmanian tigers darker than ours (ours are mostly grey with a whitish and yellow stripes underneath )tassies are sometimes black and up to about 7 feet if you get a king one.

Had plenty of run ins over here with snakes as we surf and plod through cliffs and tracks in search sometimes in some seasons at a place called cape liptrap we suit up beofre we walk in there.
As you walk along you see heads going along on tracks parrallell to you checking you out over the bushes that seperate you! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I run.
MAtes have woken up with them crawling under their tents and sleeping bags for warmth at Liptrap! we wouldnt let them into the back of our panel van so they slept on the roof and the bonnet of the cars .
