Nurse appreciation: Congratulations to our wonderful nurse Julie! 🐍
Julie has proudly completed the Australian Reptile Academy of Venomous Snake Handling Course, expanding her knowledge and skills in the safety of handling venomous snakes and the application of appropriate first aid.
She was able successfully handle a Red Belly, Eastern Brown and a Inland Taipan ( which is the most venomous in the world )
While our clinic does not treat reptiles, this training means Julie is better equipped and prepared to safely assist if a venomous snake is encountered and to provide immediate first aid.
If you find an injured, diseased, orphaned or displaced native reptile or other Australian wildlife, we recommend contacting Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital in Lennox Head. They provide expert veterinary care for native Australian wildlife and are a fantastic local resource for our community.
Congratulations again, Julie on your dedication to continuing education and providing the highest standard of care! 👏💚🐍 Australian Reptile Academy
