    Moura Link - Aldoga Rail Project Queensland Rail Environmental Impact Statement Terrestrial fauna 6. Terrestrial fauna This section describes the existing environment, potential impacts and mitigation measures for the Project in terms of the terrestrial fauna values. The assessment has been based on a review of existing information and the outcomes of supporting field investigations. It should be noted that the information regarding legislation is current at the time of writing this section but may be subject to change in the future. Legislation requirements covered in the EIS have been cited from: • Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) • Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NC Act) • Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulation 2006 (NC Regulation) • Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VM Act) • Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 • Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Regulation 2003 The currency of such information will be checked during the detailed design phase of the Project and prior to commencement of construction activities within the project area. Currently the designation of threatened species under the NC Act and NC Regulation is being reviewed to conform with international classification and as such species listed as rare will be reassessed and classified as either least concern, vulnerable, near threatened, endangered or critically endangered. 6.1 Existing environment 6.1.1 Methodology In March 2007, Connell Hatch prepared a desktop ecological assessment to support the development of an Initial Advice Statement, EPBC Referral for determination of the Project’s controlled action status under the EPBC Act and ultimately assist in the EIS process. The Project was deemed a not controlled action under Section 75 of the EPBC Act.

    Husbandry Guidelines Broad-Headed Snake Hoplocephalus bungaroides Compiler – Charles Morris Western Sydney Institute of TAFE, Richmond Captive Animals Certificate III RUV3020R Lecturers: Graeme Phipps, Jacki Salkeld & Brad Walker 2009 1 Occupational Health and Safety WARNING This Snake is DANGEROUSLY VENOMOUS CAPABLE OF INFLICTING A POTENTIALLY FATAL BITE ALWAYS HAVE A COMPRESSION BANDAGE WITHIN REACH SNAKE BITE TREATMENT: Do NOT wash the wound. Do NOT cut the wound, apply substances to the wound or use a tourniquet. Do NOT remove jeans or shirt as any movement will assist the venom to enter the blood stream. KEEP THE VICTIM STILL. 1. Apply a broad pressure bandage over the bite site as soon as possible. 2. Keep the limb still. The bandage should be as tight as you would bind a sprained ankle. 3. Extend the bandage down to the fingers or toes then up the leg as high as possible. (For a bite on the hand or forearm bind up to the elbow). 4. Apply a splint if possible, to immobilise the limb. 5. Bind it firmly to as much of the limb as possible. (Use a sling for an arm injury). Bring transport to the victim where possible or carry them to transportation. Transport the victim to the nearest hospital. Please Print this page off and put it up on the wall in your snake room. 2 There is some serious occupational health risks involved in keeping venomous snakes. All risk can be eliminated if kept clean and in the correct lockable enclosures with only the risk of handling left in play.

  • Taxonomy of the Genus Pseudonaja (Reptilia: Elapidae) in Australia
    AUSTRALIAN BIODIVERSITY RECORD ________________________________________________________ 2002 (No 7) ISSN 1325-2992 March, 2002 ________________________________________________________ Taxonomy of the Genus Pseudonaja (Reptilia: Elapidae) in Australia. by Richard W. Wells “Shiralee”, Major West Road, Cowra, New South Wales, Australia The clear morphological differences that exist within the genus as previously considered strongly indicate that it is a polyphyletic assemblage. Accordingly, I have taken the step of formally proposing the fragmentation of Pseudonaja. In this work I have decided to restrict the genus Pseudonaja to the Pseudonaja nuchalis complex. Additionally, I herein formally resurrect from synonymy the generic name Euprepiosoma Fitzinger, 1860 for the textilis group of species, erect a new generic name (Placidaserpens gen. nov.) for the snakes previously regarded as Pseudonaja guttata, erect a new generic name (Notopseudonaja gen. nov.) for the group of species previously regarded as the Pseudonaja modesta complex, and erect a new generic name (Dugitophis gen. nov.) for snakes previously regarded as the Pseudonaja affinis complex. Genus Pseudonaja Gunther, 1858 The Pseudonaja nuchalis Complex It is usually reported that Pseudonaja nuchalis occurs across most of northern, central and western Australia, ranging from Cape York Peninsula, in the north-east, through western, southern and south-eastern Queensland, far western New South Wales, north-western Victoria, and most of South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia. However, this distribution pattern is now known to actually represents several different species all regarded by most authorities for convenience as the single highly variable species, 'Pseudonaja nuchalis'. As usually defined, this actually is a highly variable and therefore confusing group of species to identify and it is not all surprising that there has been difficulty in breaking up the group.

  • Death Adder (Deaf Adder)
    Death Adder (Deaf Adder) There are three major death adder species that occur in Australia, some more species have been described and named in Australia and are awaiting official acceptances; whatever that might mean. Death adders are found in all states of Australia excepting Victoria and Tasmania. In the early days of European settlement they were probably in Northern Victoria though perhaps no longer. Death adders also occur in New Guinea and some adjacent islands. The Common Death Adder (Acanthophis antarcticus) The Northern Death Adder (Acanthophis praelongus) The Desert Death Adder (Acanthophis pyrrhus) The death adder is not a true adder; it belongs to the family of snakes called the elapids (elapidae). Elapids are snakes that are usually described as having short, front fixed (not hinged) fangs. Death Adders are live bearers or viviparous (not egg layers). They never grow very long; a death adder of one meter in length would be classed as a monster. Their venom is primarily neurotoxic (effecting mostly the nervous system). The only antivenom to be used is specific Death Adder antivenom and in emergencies only would you use polyvalent antivenom (Australian universal antivenom). It is possible that the name Death Adder is a corruption of the term Deaf Adder. This snake was in days gone by, called also by this name. Most snakes in the world are totally deaf. The name given by the inhabitants of the Island of Crete to a snake is kouphos’, which means deaf in Greek, (kouphos’ is pronounced with the accent or emphasis on the last vowel). In Greek proper, a snake is called phidi and the plural is phidia.

  • Some New Small-Eyed Snakes from Australia and New Guinea (Serpentes:Elapidae)

Some new small-eyed snakes from Australia and New Guinea (Serpentes:Elapidae). Raymond T. Hoser 488 Park Road, Park Orchards, Victoria, 3134, Australia. Phone: +61 3 9812 3322 Fax: 9812 3355 E-mail: [email protected] Received 12 March 2012, Accepted 8 April 2012, Published 30 June 2012. ABSTRACT The so-called Small-eyed Snakes from Australia and New Guinea, within the elapid tribe Sutini have had a checkered taxonomic history. Most described species have been shuf- fled between genera by authors sometimes with little apparent concern for rules of nomen- clature and priority. This paper sets out the appropriate genera for the group and species within, based on the relevant rules of the ICZN. Two well-known species that have not been formally described to date are named and diagnosed according to the Zoological Code. Likewise for a subspecies of another taxon. This paper also formally names the previously unnamed eastern subspecies of the Bardick Echiopsis curta. Keywords: Taxonomic revision; new species; Sutini; Cryptophis; Parasuta; Suta; Hulimkai; Rhinoplocephalus; Unechis; Echiopsis; nigrescens; assimilis; boschmai; nigrostriata; edwardsi; crutchfieldi; durhami; curta; martinekae. INTRODUCTION The so-called Small-eyed snakes within Australia have been identification manuals of the time period, including Cogger (1975 placed in various genera by various authors. They are known et. seq. to 2000), Cogger et. al.
