djayz Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Just heard it's being donated to the local zoo.

The standard practice country wide is generally to release it somewhere out of town, but I suppose there will always be exceptions to the rule. Most local rescue services have a decent standard keeping these critters unharmed. Edited July 18, 2020 by Dap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm quite cautious around these creatures, yes, some of them are absolutely stunning! The patterns, vivid colours and agility with which they move really are testaments to the wonders of mother nature. Since moving here 10 years ago, I've gone from being absolutely scared s..tless of them, to finding them truely fascinating creatures. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure those bites can hurt and 2 meters maybe a fight. amd serious infection from the bite is probably common.
