My first snake sighting in the Year of the Snake 2025, and it's a beauty. The Blue Malaysian Coral Snake (Calliophis bivirgatus), spotted at Thomson Nature Park on 23 Feb 2025. A highly venomous snake, this one was quite calm and not bothered by the crowd watching it (it did not raise its tail as a warning). After spending some time on the walking path, it went back into the forest.

On iNaturalist [ inaturalist.org/observations/2 ].

Something a little more upbeat than the looming federal election.

What makes an animal a pest, vs. a potential pet? Atlas Obscura's Andrew Coletti spoke with science journalist Bethany Brookshire, who has written a book about the subject, to find out. "India has way more venomous snakes than the U.S. does, and yet people there are not as utterly terrified, screaming 'Go chop its head off with a hoe!' about snakes [like Americans do]," says Brookshire. "And that’s because they have different ideas about what snakes are, and what snakes do, and where snakes belong."

There are reports that vets and rangers can currently access the HomeSafeID register, but of course it is unknown how long this will continue. It's also unknown if the data will be picked up by another party or how that would work from a privacy, legislative, even just the actual process of transferring the data.

If your pet isn't Microchipped, definitely consider it. Given the situation with HomeSafeID, probably best to avoid them until more info is known.

Suggestion for anyone with microchipped pets, regardless of whom it is registered with:
- Check the microchip details of your pet(s) with petaddress.com.au to see who they are registered with.
- Make sure all information is up to date (ie: contact details/address), no matter which registry they are with.
- Make sure pets that are required to be registered with your local council/shire/city/state have been. This is separate to microchip registration.
- Keep a copy of all your pets information, including the microchip details. Confirm your vet has these details too.

If you want to transfer away from HomeSafeID to another provider, you usually need to deregister them first, which is hard to do if HomeSafeID are unresponsive. By having all the details yourself on hand, at the very least you can then reregister them if HomeSafeID goes away.

Are you living in Australia? Do you own a pet?

There are claims and rumours that HomeSafeID, one of the many national microchip pet registries in Australia, may have gone into receivership (unconfirmed), and as such it seems their future may be uncertain. During Christmas to early January, emails bounced and their phones were unanswered. There is a notice on their website from January 5th saying that there are some issues, but no detailed explanation of what happened or is happening. Even now, it seems no one has yet received a human response to any enquiries.

HomeSafeID is primarily used by the RSPCA all over Australia. If you got your pet through the RSPCA, it's likely registered though HomeSafeID.

This event highlights some of the holes in microchipping registries in Australia. A useful overview I found that covers this: vetmatters.substack.com/p/vet-
