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.
  • Demographic Consequences of Superabundance in Krefft's River

    Demographic Consequences of Superabundance in Krefft's River

    i The comparative ecology of Krefft’s River Turtle Emydura krefftii in Tropical North Queensland. By Dane F. Trembath B.Sc. (Zoology) Applied Ecology Research Group University of Canberra ACT, 2601 Australia A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Applied Science (Resource Management). August 2005. ii Abstract An ecological study was undertaken on four populations of Krefft’s River Turtle Emydura krefftii inhabiting the Townsville Area of Tropical North Queensland. Two sites were located in the Ross River, which runs through the urban areas of Townsville, and two sites were in rural areas at Alligator Creek and Stuart Creek (known as the Townsville Creeks). Earlier studies of the populations in Ross River had determined that the turtles existed at an exceptionally high density, that is, they were superabundant, and so the Townsville Creek sites were chosen as low abundance sites for comparison. The first aim of this study was to determine if there had been any demographic consequences caused by the abundance of turtle populations of the Ross River. Secondly, the project aimed to determine if the impoundments in the Ross River had affected the freshwater turtle fauna. Specifically this study aimed to determine if there were any difference between the growth, size at maturity, sexual dimorphism, size distribution, and diet of Emydura krefftii inhabiting two very different populations. A mark-recapture program estimated the turtle population sizes at between 490 and 5350 turtles per hectare. Most populations exhibited a predominant female sex-bias over the sampling period. Growth rates were rapid in juveniles but slowed once sexual maturity was attained; in males, growth basically stopped at maturity, but in females, growth continued post-maturity, although at a slower rate.

Entwisle1 1National Herbarium of New South Wales, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney NSW 2000 Australia 2Southern ACT Catchment Group Inc., PO Box 2056, Kambah, ACT Author for correspondence: [email protected] 3Institute for Applied Ecology, School of Resource, Environmental & Heritage Sciences, University of Canberra, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia Abstract The range of the Australian freshwater alga Basicladia ramulosa Ducker is extended, both in its turtle hosts (Chelodina burrungandjii Thomson et al.; Emydura australis (Grey)) and in geography, to tropical northern Western Australia. Along with further morphological observations, sporangia are described for the first time in this taxon. Introduction Moss-back turtles (Fig. 1) have fascinated biologists for many years. While the carapace of a potentially amphibious turtle would be a challenging habitat for most aquatic organisms, it is perhaps surprising there are only a handful of attached algae reported from such sites. Edgren et al. (1953) detailed the range of host turtles then known in North America and the range of epizoic algae that included Rhizoclonium and Cladophora. Two further genera in the Cladophoraceae are the only macroalgae widely reported on turtle carapaces: the prostrate, spreading, endozoic (and possibly disease causing) Dermatophyton radicans Peter, and species of the heterotrichous genus Basicladia, responsible for the name ‘moss-back’. In the United States, Basicladia is considered a small epizoic genus on turtles and water snails, of three to four taxa (John 2003). Hamilton (1948) described sexual reproduction in North American species of Basicladia involving the fusion of biflagellate zooids as is commonly the case in the Cladophoraceae.
  • Reptiles of the Wet Tropics

    Reptiles of the Wet Tropics

    Reptiles of the Wet Tropics The concentration of endemic reptiles in the Wet Tropics is greater than in any other area of Australia. About 162 species of reptiles live in this region and 24 of these species live exclusively in the rainforest. Eighteen of them are found nowhere else in the world. Many lizards are closely related to species in New Guinea and South-East Asia. The ancestors of two of the resident geckos are thought to date back millions of years to the ancient super continent of Gondwana. PRICKLY FOREST SKINK - Gnypetoscincus queenlandiae Length to 17cm. This skink is distinguished by its very prickly back scales. It is very hard to see, as it is nocturnal and hides under rotting logs and is extremely heat sensitive. Located in the rainforest in the Wet Tropics only, from near Cooktown to west of Cardwell. RAINFOREST SKINK - Eulamprus tigrinus Length to 16cm. The body has irregular, broken black bars. They give birth to live young and feed on invertebrates. Predominantly arboreal, they bask in patches of sunlight in the rainforest and shelter in tree hollows at night. Apparently capable of producing a sharp squeak when handled or when fighting. It is rare and found only in rainforests from south of Cooktown to west of Cardwell. NORTHERN RED-THROATED SKINK - Carlia rubrigularis Length to 14cm. The sides of the neck are richly flushed with red in breeding males. Lays 1-2 eggs per clutch, sometimes communally. Forages for insects in leaf litter, fallen logs and tree buttresses. May also prey on small skinks and own species.

ISSN 1836-5779 (Online) A further break-up of the Australian gecko genus Oedura Gray, 1842 sensu lato as currently recognized, from four to seven genera, with two new subgenera defined, description of fourteen new species, four new subspecies and formalising of one tribe and five subtribes. RAYMOND T. HOSER 488 Park Road, Park Orchards, Victoria, 3134, Australia. Phone: +61 3 9812 3322 Fax: 9812 3355 E-mail: snakeman (at) snakeman.com.au Received 15 January 2017, Accepted 20 May 2017, Published 20 July 2017. ABSTRACT The genus Oedura Gray, 1842 sensu lato has been the subject of numerous taxonomic reviews in recent years. These have resulted in division of the genus into deeply divergent, but distantly related groups at the genus level as well as numerous new species being formally named. In light of the preceding and including results of molecular studies indicating significant divergence between species groups within Oedura as recognized in 2012 and 2016, the genus as recognized prior to 2012 is further divided to become seven (from four in 2016). These all have known divergences well in excess of 15 MYA, making genus-level subdivision inevitable. Divergent subgenera with divergences in the order of 13-15 MYA are also formally named for the first time. Within this new generic arrangement, fourteen new species are formally described for the first time in accordance with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Ride et al. 1999) on the basis of obvious morphological differences from similar species, which they have been treated as until now and also based on the known genetic divergences ascertained from earlier cited literature, all of which are measured in the millions of years (2.5 MYA or more).

Oedura murrumanu sp. nov. can be distinguished from all congeners by the combination of large size (snout-vent length to 103 mm), moderately long and slightly swollen tail, tiny scales on the dorsum, fringe of laterally expanded lamellae on each digit, and 6–7 paired distal subdigital lamellae on the fourth toe. The new species is the first endemic vertebrate known from the limestone ranges of the southern Kimberley; however, this area remains poorly sur- veyed and further research (particularly wet season surveys and genetic analyses) is required to better characterise regional biodiversity values.

Box 826, Lismore, New South Wales Australia, 2480 Introduction As a prelude to further work on the Chelidae of Australia, the following considerations relate to the Elseya dentata species complex. See also Wells and Wellington (1984, 1985) and Wells (2002 a, b; 2007 a, b.). Elseya Gray, 1867 1867 Elseya Gray, Ann. Mag. Natur. Hist., (3) 20: 44. – Subsequently designated type species (Lindholm 1929): Elseya dentata (Gray, 1863). Note: The genus Elseya is herein considered to comprise only those species with a very wide mandibular symphysis and a distinct median alveolar ridge on the upper jaw. All members of the latisternum complex lack a distinct median alveolar ridge on the upper jaw and so are removed from the genus Elseya (see Wells, 2007b). This now restricts the genus to the following Australian species: Elseya albagula Thomson, Georges and Limpus, 2006 2006 Elseya albagula Thomson, Georges and Limpus, Chelon. Conserv.

Whilst Within five minutes of the animals first being placed territorial behaviour has been widely documented, the together in the enclosure they were observed alongside majority of observations are biased towards males due to each other, head to tail. One skink, the “aggressor”, was their larger size and/or more evident displays (Mahrt making a series of high pitched squeaks.
