Australian Venomous Land Snakes - CrittaCam

[@jeaniekurosu5313]

Peter Birch wish you do a video on King Brown snakes, Collets snakes, Inland Taipan, Spotted Black snake, & Lowland Copperhead!

[@garrymercer757]

Im rural and a prospector as well for 50 years. Ive had interactions with thousands of snakes in 70 years. I find wild snakes to be a lot more lively than those handled in captivity. I treat them with respect and although i have almost jumped or stepped onto many of them none have tried to bite me. They all try to get away and i leave them be. I was also walking on a road and a mate said quietely to me that i had a brown snake on my shoe, i thought he was joking until i looked down and there it was wedged under the tongue of my shoe. I kicked it quite high i must say. And that was in a metropolitan area. i have a farm that is supposed to be infected with death adders and ive never seen one. They are the only snake that worries me. That said my friend knelt on one in his vegetable garden and it didnt bite him. But a year later he was bitten twice by a brown snake in the same garden. He survived. I dont know how, his property is in a narrow valley that cant be accessed by helicopter if there was one and the road out is a rough twisting dirt road and takes an hour to reach help. He is in his 60s i was worried there would be long term effects, there probably is but some time later he rode past on his bicycle..lucky man

[@johnschlesinger2009]

That eastern brown was very calm. Awesome inland taipan!

[@hand.mixed.music.]

Wow that red belly black almost got you.... your a legend Peter!!

[@CrittaCam]

Almost!

[@PhilDesigns]

+CrittaCam sweet video dude i love this shit

[@vwsandvettes3253]

Dang! At 5:12 that black snake just comes right back on you. Did you take a bite to the foot there?

[@markpeters9332]

Hi Peter, another good video. One thing, you said the inland taipan was the most dangerous snake in the world. I think you meant to say, the most venomous. Keep the vids coming matey🇦🇺

[@johnnolang3734]

Agreed. The most dangerous snake in the world is PROBABLY the SE Asian cobra because it lives where a LOT of people live.

[@neilkearns5388]

Awesome travelled to the Prom and Mt.Bogon saw many snakes they ran one way I pissed myself but it was an amazing thanks

[@jeaniekurosu5313]

Peter Birch are you wearing sneakers? Cause I heard many Australian Zoologists & Reptile Keepers wear hiking Boots!

[@Spacey7]

Amazing snakes. Amazing country. 🙃

[@CrittaCam]

Thank you so much Spacey

[@jimcrawford5039]

All fine, T.C. They are rarely seen and if left alone they will leave. I live in the country and have never been threatened by one.

[@Kdjoao]

I live on a farm. I have found at least 20 snakes already

[@kinte1870]

That's nothing..now had you said like 21 snakes I'd be woah thats alot.

[@patrickswayze2596]

I spoke to you at the Penrith reptile expo, itnwas a pleasure meeting you and learning from your years of amazing and interesting knowledge 🖤🐍🖤

[@prasantadas8140]

Amazing, very beautiful n very dengerious, pl be more careful Sir.

[@phipperyfft6489]

Odd looking tiger snake. I've never seen one with a pattern like that, but it's pretty cool

[@UjiQuji]

What were the really orange striped snakes because i see ones that look like that and i live near alpine Victoria and i never found out what they are, thanks!

[@alantaylor6691]

Probably tiger snake.

[@boxingboa]

Fantastic video

[@CrittaCam]

Thank you

[@raamilawrence9288]

that hook is awesome

[@StrikerdanielFTW]

Hey pete nice video. I was wondering if there are more than 1 expo in nsw arther than Penrith reptile expo. Cause I love going to them. Hanks pete

[@CrittaCam]

There is usually 4 expos in NSW

[@reptiletime5251]

Great show

[@CrittaCam]

Cheers

[@yaboymason7813]

Great video!

[@stevenwright883]

beautiful and deadly I love snakes

[@animalinformationking7135]

Nice

[@headfirsttryingtoskydive1052]

Hey mate nice vid, I'm a farmer in northern NSW and snakes particularly Easter Brown are common but there's one real big snake that's brown his way bigger than the Eastern Browns and very intimidating its head would near be as big as my hand and body is as thick as my arm it'd have to be 2+ meters... would this be a king Brown?

[@headfirsttryingtoskydive1052]

Or coastal taipan?

[@Sylmarys24]

Coastal Taipans more commonly grow to 2.5 metres in length but are rarer than the mulga snake so if it was entirely brown it was a Mulga (King brown) snake.

[@123natemans]

Sounds like a king brown for sure

[@alantaylor6691]

The coastal taipan can fit the profile of having the very same brown colouration as the eatern brown snake, as well as being over 2 metres for large adults. But being you are at a Northern NSW farm it's more unlikely to be the coastal taipan! Coastal taipan has the baddest snake envenomation in nature. Hasn't got drop-for-drop toxicity of the inland taipan or eastern brown, but other factors combine to make it's bite more lethal when untreated than every other snake including the inland taipan and black mamba. Untreated mortality rate of eastern brown is 15% (due to typically very low yields), tiger snake 50%, inland taipan 80%, black mamba virtually 100%, coastal taipan literally 100%. The drop-for-drop toxicity or murine tests doesn't tell us which snake is going to kill the most humans when it strikes, it's a common misconception that the inland taipan has the most lethal envenomation. It's super rare to survive coastal taipan bite without antivenin but possible, however it's not possible to survive it without treatment, which is unlike every other snake on the planet. Saying the inland taipan has a worse envenomation than black mamba and coastal taipan is like saying the red back spider has a worse envenomation than the Sydney funnel web because the red back has the more toxic venom. What makes the black mamba have a worse envenomation than inland taipan is not just it's high yield but other factors such as very low venom viscocity. Black mamba has natures number two most lethal envenomation. And envenomation rate of black mamba and coastal taipan are 100%, where as inland taipan is 80%. Any bite by coastal taipan is certain death untreated, no dry bites. There are many snakes that have a more lethal envenomation on humans than eastern brown, as when it strikes humans it typically can only manage to inject humans with a very low yield, although it's one snake that if it gets lucky and manages a good envenomation it can be very lethal. But that's not typical.

[@Trapezius8oblique]

Is it true that some brown are starting to mate with tiger snakes ? Nice video.

[@mattmc9812]

Snakes are facinating but venomous i stay right away.

[@Smallzoo42]

Awesome!!

[@downunder9073]

I went for a walk along the highway today and I found 3 red belly black's and a blue tounge lizard in an hour it was humid and damp and I could hear plenty of frogs so I new I had a chance

[@WanderingandWilderness]

If the Tiger Snake venom coagulated blood into Jelly that would be haemotoxic. I think you mixed it up with the Eastern Brown venom.

[@AusHunts]

close call with the red belly pete

[@4771cu5H]

4:48

[@LanceKirkman]

Was that second to last snake: striking or just trying to get away?

[@LanceKirkman]

***** thank you

[@LanceKirkman]

+hikelfin , I'm sorry, I don't remember... Though the Red Bellied Black Snake is a good guess. Thanks for replying man!

[@keithnicholson9100]

never coming to Australia

[@thehoosierfortheUK]

Just go to Sydney it's a big huge city like Chicago and a relatively cheerful place!

[@cameraman655]

Good, stay where you are!

[@taylakenniwell5577]

well I already live there

[@pheobiesheldrick2628]

It’s not that bad here

[@taylakenniwell5577]

It's is not bad the most deadly thing were I am is red bellies tho I only see carpet pythons commonly

[@phoenixsplash135]

No dugite?

[@shikarbabulall3897]

Some on these longer snakes at the end look like black mamba's

[@shawnperico7221]

Hands down that Taipan is the devil reincarnated

[@vwsandvettes3253]

I still ask a "Why is the sky blue?" type question, but why do these and other snakes have so many times more potent venom than they need to kill their prey which is like, a mouse or rat at most. Makes little to no sense to me but, oh well :-)

[@ericv-kj3du]

That's a good question. I think it shows that venom production is a slow processus. In an environnement where food is rare, being able to kill with the lowest quantity of venom gives a decisive advantage. Because the snake will not miss an opportunity, and also because he will be able to sustain longer periods with no food (meaning no energy)

[@joshnetschitowsky5889]

nice snakes

[@CrittaCam]

Josh Netschitowsky they sure are

[@lexingtonconcord8751]

Looked like the red belly almost got him @ 5:11

[@robertbishop5357]

Why is it that when they mention the Tiger snake they don't mention the eastern tiger which is more venomous than the tiger.

[@drgrunental3865]

Is the red bellied snake deadly?

[@CrittaCam]

yes it's Venomous

[@HotProperty83]

its deadly enough to wreck ya weekend haha

[@tobleroneyremorse1117]

no recorded deaths but.

[@alextarasenko369]

Greyat

[@nextoliver]

Interesting video, informative. Snakes are beautiful. Awful and distracting music.

[@keithnicholson9100]

Obviously you can't detect sarcasm, and it was my gf who commented not me! My family are in Adelaide

[@alhassanetraore8734]

Australian's elapids are very small 😶

[@downsouth4345]

A - 100

[@mcbigg5854]

Strangest looking tiger snake I've ever seen. Looked more like a python.

[@alantaylor6691]

It's a common thing that tiger snakes go hooded like that when in defense mode. Just like cobras. It's not anomolous.

[@srinivasp5394]

ya useful information but you didnt show INDIAN cobra

[@KCBarr1]

+Srinivas P Do you think it could be because there are are no Indian cobras in Australia, and this video is about Australian snakes?

[@dedif6670]

Srinivas P Typical INDIAN, always clever

[@downunder9073]

the red belly backs are everywhere!! can I make money off of there venom??

[@featuring_wildlife]

A.

[@kc1973able]

get rid of the heavy metal music its distracting!

[@nerdbashingtime1536]

Can't one drop of eastern brown venom only kill 16 humans?
