Talk:Tiger snake

switch?

so who thinks turning this page into a redirect and Tiger snake into the main article is a worthy idea? why do you think so - Metanoid (talk, email) 01:08, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Notexin

some explanation is in order as to why an apparent commercial name is listed for the venom. is it marketed for a thearapeutic use? or is 'notexin' the name of the commercial antivenin? if the latter it should be moved to the appropriate place.Toyokuni3 (talk) 23:10, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I changed the name of the neurotoxin to "notexin", is there still any problem that you cannot fix yourself? cygnis insignis 04:30, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Distribution

At one time the various tiger snakes were seperated. The black tiger snake was designated ater. niger. It occurs mostly on offshore islands from WA eastwards, the Joseph Banks group of Islands in Spencer gulf and Kangaroo Island, King island in Bass straight and on the mainland close to the ocean.

The range of the common tiger snake overlaps and they interbreed hence "ater." designation have been abandoned. Western end of Kangaroo Island predominently jet black in colour while on the eastern end they vary a little and frequently have either bands or brown patches.

The only reference I have at present is the herpetologist at Adelaide zoological gardens.

Venom yield and toxicity vary considerably although not all bite victims are envenomed somewhat raising survival rate statistics. Toxicity LD50 from .1 to .27 mg/Kg (mouse) Yield 35 to 75 mg.

I'll hit the books tonight.--Euc (talk) 08:42, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Morphs - Tasmanian Tiger Snake

As a Tasmanian, I have witnessed these snakes, and believe that the following statement is potentially confusing, misleading and potentially dangerous: "Tasmanian tiger snakes tend to be quiet snakes, probably due to the lower temperature range they inhabit." Is this statement supposed to suggest that the Tasmanian species is less active, less aggressive, or both? AshleyWinston (talk) 06:11, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

What that statement is refering too is heresay, I will check if it has a reference. If not then it could be original research. I am of the understanding that Tasmanian elapids are very understudied, and as to whether the periods of seperation from the mainland have affected their genetics, and in tern their behaviour.
