Due in part to Australia's geographic isolation from the other parts of the world, the country has developed unique reptile species not found anywhere else on earth. Australian Reptiles continued to adapt independently from those in the rest of the world when, about 15 million years ago, Australia's climate became more arid and desert-like. Australia is also the only continent in which venomous snakes outnumber non-venomous snakes. Rita's Outback Guide: Unique Australian animals
First Aid for Snake Bites
There are approximately 3,000 reported snake bites annually of which 200 to 500 require anti-venom treatment, yet only one or two result in death. This is a vast improvement from 1906, when snake bites from the Death Adder and Tiger Snake alone resulted in a death rate of 40-50%. Today, when faced with a snake bite, washing the bite area will remove venom traces that are needed to determine the proper anti-venom. The lymphatic system is the means by which venom is spread throughout the body. Before transporting the bite victim, The Royal Australasian College of Surgery recommends immobilizing the bite area by splinting and bandaging firmly. University of Sydney: Australian Snake Bites-
