    WOW, what an amazing creature, I didn’t even know scaleless Death Adders existed. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, great markings on this guy!

    Fantastic – I’ve seen a photo of a half scaled, half scaleless one too – absolutely mind-blowing! I think it was in Reptiles magazine (US version) a while back. You’re very lucky to see one in the flesh – pun intended!

    nice work Steve. I think I saw a paper on these guys in Herpetofauna. Very interesting. Whats there longevity like?

  • Steve Bullock replied

    The same as others from what I have heard, but I think the oldest one is about 4 years old so see what happens in the future

    how close were you able to get to this fellow? the skin is fascinating to me….i can easily imagine how the texture would be…

  • Steve Bullock replied

    Probably 30cm.. I have several reptiles myself and have access to most Australian Species at friends houses, this one was very friendly but always pays to be on guard, its the 4th most venemous snake in the world after all!
