 * I think some wikilinks are needed: coagulants, haemolytic properties, syntype, front-fanged, billabongs, Woy Woy, analgesia, necrosis, kilodaltons
 * all linked now Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:33, 17 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Pseudechis porphyriacus eipperi the Atherton Tableland and surrounds in North-east Queensland, which he noted was smaller, rarely attaining 2 m (7 ft) and had a white or pale pink rather than red belly'' – is there an "inhabits" missing?
 * added "from" it's a subordinate clause Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:12, 17 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Snake handler Raymond Hoser described two subspecies in 2003 – I got confused here: These two subspecies exclude the main population of the snake, which was not referred to any subspecies? If this is the case, maybe it could be mentioned for clarity?
 * added "extra" for clarity. Note that this author's work is regarded as controversial and has not been widely accepted. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:12, 17 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I really think the red color on the sides should be described in more detail; there seems to be an alternating pattern between black and red scales judging from the picture?
 * the red side and belly scales all have black margins. added now. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:33, 17 December 2018 (UTC)


 * generally not an aggressive species, generally withdrawing – do we need both "generally"?
 * tweaked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:21, 17 December 2018 (UTC)


 * When not hunting or basking it may be found beneath timber, rocks and rubbish or down holes and burrows. – source is missing for this one.
 * added now Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:33, 17 December 2018 (UTC)


 * SVL of 78 cm – snout-vent length? I would spell that out.
 * added Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:21, 17 December 2018 (UTC)


 * aPTT – maybe I would spell this out also.

 * everything else looks very fine, solid work, reads very well. Did a copy edit, feel free to revert if needed. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 20:20, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Drive by comment - I noticed that there are some nice, unused images on Commons, and that the current taxobox photo is of very poor quality. Perhaps this could be a better taxobox image? And it seems a waste we don't use one of these cool images of a hood, the watermarks can be removed (a hood isn't mentioned in the text, perhaps an oversight?). This image with the tongue out could also be interesting. FunkMonk (talk) 04:16, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * added two images. reading about the neck mentioned now. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:33, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
