🕷️ FUNNEL WEB SURVIVOR VISITS REPTILE PARK 🕷️ The Australian Reptile Park had a very special guest recently – Riley! Riley was unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of a Funnel Web spider bite, but thanks to our anti-venom program he survived. We got him out here as soon as we could to show him around and he thanked the keepers for saving his life! | Australian Reptile Park

Our very own resident 🕷️Spider-Man🕷️ has broken his own record for the most venom extracted from a single funnel-web spider! Thanks to Jake, this venom will be used to create lifesaving antivenom 🤍 | Australian Reptile Park

Each drop is deadly and keepers work incredibly hard to milk each spider carefully. Since the introduction of the anti-venom program in 1981, not one single person has died from being bitten by a Funnel-web spider. | Australian Reptile Park | Facebook
