With another day to pass here by the seaside, I felt it was time to venture further a field and check out the intriguing Crocodile Bank. It's an ecology project set up to protect and breed crocodiles and alligators, but has been so successful that they have now introduced turtles to the project, and it also plays host to a Snake venom collective that collects the venom without killing the snakes or bleeding them dry.
Altogether a thoroughly fascinating few hours. It's a shame I wasn't able to be around for feeding time, which apparently is quite a scene.
As well as a few choice pics I've also included a short video of the snake venom demo that you can watch by clicking the link below.

| Some of the beasts were a bit too close for comfort |
 |
| Most just lay around like stone statues |
 |
| Some would give you a wink |
 |
| Nothing like a graphic description to get the point over |
 |
| All those points had a snake of some sort in residence |
 |
| Mr Cobra didn't seem bothered with the money he was tossed |
