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

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

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?
@headfirsttryingtoskydive10528 жыл бұрын
Or coastal taipan?
@Sylmarys247 жыл бұрын
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.
@123natemans6 жыл бұрын
Sounds like a king brown for sure
@alantaylor66915 жыл бұрын
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.

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

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-kj3du2 жыл бұрын
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)
