G'Day Fella's,

Quote-NitroX "I thought our snakes, the brown in particular had long fangs and internal venom injectors? A comparison between the Browns and the American rattlesnake, where the difference in how venom was injected was highlighted. I will have to research it to clarify."

I don't know if this is correct, or not either NitroX?

I once read, that the fangs of venomus Aussie snakes, were not hollow (like a hypodermic needle), but that they had a open groove, down the back of the fang, and the venom travelled down/along this groove?
The reason that not everybody bitten (say .... on the leg) by one of our snakes is invenomated is, if they are wearing thick trousers (like jeans or similar), because the snakes fangs are open at the rear, the material of the trousers, can actually absorb a lot or all of the venom?

D'oh!
