Inland Taipan Bite & Chimp Crazy with Chandler's Wild Life | Reptiles With Podcast

[@Jobin14]

I’ve watched Chandler for years and sometimes he’s a little goofy & reckless, but I know that’s his personality & it’s heightened for KZbin, but there’s a man behind that who is very down to earth, responsible and knowledgeable. This podcast was very good in general, and Chandler is painted in a great light which many haters need to see.

RE Kentucky Zoo, they actually put the antivenin statement out weeks before the Inland Taipan bite and aimed it all reckless freehandlers and didnt call that guy out specifically. They were not even contacted to source the antivenin.

[@madbioreptiles]

The statement we were talking about was put out Sep 6 the bite happened Sep 5

[@giljohnston2183]

@@madbioreptiles I'm an enthusiast who lives in Australia and in the past 20 years we've had two bites (that i can recall, may be more) to this species, the US has had more (3), which is crazy in the grand scheme considering they dont naturally occur there. We know not to piss about with these elapids, and have laws ensuring that you basically canot legally own one, for good reason. The Coastal Taipan, due to its twitchy disposition and larger size is actually a much more dangerous specimen to keep in my opinion than the Inland, and i still cant get my head around how its legal for a snake like that to be kept unregulated in certain states in the US. I agree with the Kentucky Zoo, unless they are going to get an instant replacement of their Antivenin which is there to protect certified and qualified keepers/handlers, why should they give it up to unskilled/certified hobbiests who are unlikely to fund the replenishment of stock. I do concede though that i wasnt responding to the actual message the zoo posted from a certain male herpetologist which you were commenting on, i was referencing a female herp's post from some weeks before. After reading the message you refer to, I agree was in bad taste.

[@tarantulasarecool]

Thanks for that, I was wondering how many inland’s have bitten any Aussies. I’m well aware no ‘fierce snake’ has killed anyone here mainly due to their location. But certainly many coastals are around, I’ve never encountered one but I know they are everywhere in FNQ! My partner has seen one in port Douglas. But no way would I cross a coastal.

ER nurse here . We gave a 5 year old child 35 vials of antivenin for a suspected rattlesnake bite . Riverside County 1992 .. She survived. The symptoms were horrendous and progressive on arrival to the ER.

seems weird that people are blaming the Kentucky zoo dude. Like, yeah, it's poor form to announce it like that, but to say he's taking a father's life away from his kids or whatever is insane.

That dudes KZbin channel is called Swaggersthecat, it was only a matter of time until something bad happened to him. I’ve been coming across his videos over the past year and it’s extremely concerning the ways he’s trying to “teach” people and I do remember him making comments about Chandler being bit. That guys has made a few videos from the hospital bed, one bragging about how he has the bite on video. Bad thing is I don’t think this guy will learn from it.

Taught with this guy for a few weeks before he was fired. Swaggers is still unofficially “lost” in our community. His home (a rental) was so disgusting when he moved that it was condemned.

Big fan of Chandler's and so I had to listen really enjoyed it. I've been an animal lover all my life as a kid growing up back in the 70's I had a wild self-caught garter snake for a few months until it got out of it's cage and scared my mom, then it got released back in the wild. I also used to breed mice for a pet store that sold them as live bait. No, here I am pushing 60 and I live on a farm breeding fainting goats and have rescue horses from the kill pens and 1 rescue mini donkey from the kill pens. I respect all the snakes in my area and even talk to them when I find them in my chicken coop or feed shed. The one in the coop is a Black Rat snake and the one in the feed shed is an Eastern Rat snake. I have a perfect shed from both of them, both are just shy of 6 ft long. This was very interesting to listen to and I look forward to listen to more. Love the learn.

Inland taipan venom is not purely neurotoxic. It is instead a complex cocktail of cardiotoxins, coagulotoxins, myotoxins, and neurotoxins.

He actually wasn't allowed to have them in the county and city that he lived in.

[@caitlinboycher8596]

Prison is the best place for him. It’s keeping animals safe and preventing him from influencing younger people. This guy was originally from ny and moved to NC to teach. He was fired after a few weeks. He stayed in the community for a while and lost his serval twice. It’s still “lost.” He destroyed the rental house before finally getting evicted and moved to sc where he chose to repeat what he had done.

You cannot bash Jim and the Kentucky Reptile Zoo for not supplying him with anti-venom. They hold that for their own staff and family to use if the worst happens; they have every possible right to keep that for themselves. It’ll take months (and thousands of dollars) to restock that should they need it, and seeing as they house multiple animals that may cause a bite, it’s not an impossibility that they would need it. This guy was wildly irresponsible, and did this to himself for him own wacky reasonings. Why should they be obligated and looked down upon because they’re looking out for their own people, rather than a lunatic that played with fire, and ultimately got burnt? 100% I stand by Jim and the zoo’s decision here.

I think they were trying to make a point to warn people about this dangerous behavior, but it wasn't the right time.

[@Nefville]

To be clear, its not the Kentucky Reptile Zoo's responsibility to give reckless handlers, or anyone for that matter, antivenin. It seems some don't realize that if they give that up, it leaves _their_ employees at risk if _they_ get bit. I hear the turnaround on Australian antivenin is months to YEARS and lets not forget, the stuff is extremely expensive. I love Chandler but that's a bad take and it very well may have had consequences, people have been giving them bad Google reviews and sending them all kinds of hate.

[@HilaryCrane]

And they released that statement BEFORE this bite happened. They have not been asked for their antivenin. This is a mischaracterization of their stance.

[@YochevedDesigns]

Chandler has really matured over the years. I think Tyler has been a good role model for him. Rewilding captive bred animals is a very complex issue, because you have to look at what factors made them become endangered or functionally extinct in their original habitats. In many cases, their habitats have been razed to the ground. Timber harvesting, monoculture farming, housing developments can all destroy their original homes. Native people use the animals for food, as well as depending on poaching sales and hides. The local people need to feed their kids, so you have to work with the communities to remake their entire economy in order to incentivize those communities to get involved in conservation. The final part of the puzzle is figuring out how to make conservation more profitable than what they've been doing before.

[@SuperMoleRetro]

There is no such thing as a "tame" copperhead. You have been lucky. Keep deluding yourself and you will learn a very bad lesson.

Chandler you may free handle but like you said ur still careful and I have so much love and respect for you bro . much love from Tennessee

Great interview. Subbed. 👍🐍

[@nephi1wright]

I got to say as animal lover, chandler is correct mad respect at his skill I love snakes all animals but it’s understanding them respecting them, I would personally never handle venomous but I’d gladly observe and admire from a distance I live in cattle country handle cattle year round a 2’000 pound bull can turn on you quick and kill some just as quick I’ve seen it in my area. So no one should say one’s life is greater than the next! Again thanks chandler for your knowledge and wise words keep up the amazing work on educating are world on wildlife.

[@alphabravo431]

As an Australian, I feel like conversations around the most venomous, 3rd most 8th most.. Is a bit like, would you rather be hit by a bus or a truck?

from another aussie, I 100 percent agree. it's not whether it's the 1st, 4th etc., they all suck if you get a jab. Just the idea of handling a Taipan is insane to me

[@AnnaAbney]

I love your channel chandler and tylers i also watch swamp brothers. They go and get crocks that hinder people. They also get other things. I love the dragons that are running rampet in florida. I had one but unfornutatley it died it got an infwction and i believe it was from the former owner.

[@lowdavey9474]

Awesome choice of guest Chandles that dude😉. I learned sooo much and got over my fear of snakes watching him, I won't be handling these animals, but bc of him I have a newfound appreciation and respect for them. If anyone hasn't check him out.

[@kaylanicole6080]

Where can we watch the chimp show?

[@Royal-Rover]

I'm a bit reserved for one point: antivenom offering is to reverse an accident not to encourage an incident. People are responsible for their own acts. It makes no sense to moral-kinap others for "humanitarian reasons" because those zookeepers are also parents to children. The only difference is they work properly not recklessly. I prefer Viperkeeper's view on this matter.

[@madbioreptiles]

Our point was that is was wrong to publicize it for the man’s family to see. He is a father, & the post on social media is just to flex the fact that they had anti venom, were not going to share, & make an example out of him. That is WRONG. If that is the decision youre making the is 0 reason to make a post on how you are going to make an example out of someones life for his family to see

[@gordondalrymple7644]

free handlers who get bit shouldn’t throw stones at others who get bit

[@hay_bal]

If you watch the vid, you'll see that he's educating the public about available policies and snake keeper's protocol if they got bit.

[@troo_6656]

Or maybe they should if they have experience with this kind of thing. Call me crazy, but experience matters in this hobby a lot. Even people who do stupid stuff should have a say when it comes to someone completely reckless

[@birdiecote8075]

The issue here is that the guy who got bit was horrifically negligent; no game plan for a bite, no idea where to get antivenom (and he publicly mocked people who'd use antivenom, before this happened).

[@ivyrose779]

I completely understand the criticism against free handling but the type of free handling Chandler does and the what Jeff was doing are completely different. Jeff was beyond negligent in every aspect. He was all but milking his snakes with himself.

God bless you Chandler ❤

This was brilliant and finally gave chandler a chance to explain a lot of shit he went through with jealous bitter assholes!

[@ernesthamm1813]

Big CWL fan here, but with that said, I was a tad surprised he was defending fwc about killing that boa, when they were seizing retics. Idk enough about the permit process and all to argue about how long the guy had to do what he needed to do, so forget about that for now. But saying he shouldn't have had the boa in that room is a little weird to me. Honestly idc what room it was in, if you're part of a team that is protecting wildlife, and you're there to seize a certain invasive species, you should absolutely be able to identify it by sight period. And to not be able to recognize the boa constrictor, one of the most common, and recognizable snakes in the pet trade, and not be able to tell it from a Burmese python is freaking wild to see from a professional. When I was a kid the albino Burmese was one of the most sought after snakes in the pet trade. If you can't identify your target species you really shouldn't be doing that job. I think there was a lot of crap happening there, but just based on the fact that they misidentified a boa, and killed it, is completely inexcusable to me. I mean, let's be real here. How!? Wow wtf.

[@_huntee5309]

I live in SC. I saw on the news that a man from Florence SC (Jeffrey Leibowitz-sp?) got bitten by an inland taipan so I looked him up on YT and while I was looking at his content I saw where he actually went live while being in the hospital. So he’s not unconscious.. he’s doing ok and is going to pull through 🙏🏼

[@Tau_Aquila]

Did they ask about chandler blowing smoke in his snakes faces?

[@michaelshort2388]

There wasn't only 2 vials of Anti-venin left in the country. but some places that had it said they wouldn't give it to him because a) they needed it incase one of their staff got bit, and b) he was irresponsible.

[@CaptBrightside89]

A great lesson for everyone... Do. Not. Mess. With. Australian. Wildlife. Our cool little creatures do not mess around and play for keeps.

[@jtclark877]

Chandler, you're always a good sport with the finger loss. You remind me of a coworker at McAlisters Deli (like the 3rd one ever opened heh)...he lost a finger slicing ham. And they'd always ask for 4 of something in the kitchen but show three fingers and a nub. Hang in there, brother. Also, did you ever learn any Hungarian??? If you did, my respects. My month in Budapest almost drove me insane.

[@rickmumford9837]

With permits here in Australia, each state has its own licencing/permit system. Every animal has to be licensed.

[@liyinchong4493]

Chandler ❤❤❤

[@sheryljohnson6602]

Here's the thing, though. The police report, which was publicized, said that when they entered the house. they found huge numbers of flies around the windows, rotting meat, garbage everywhere, feces and urine soaked cat beds, and all the snakes in Tupperware containers- some with holes drilled in them large enough that the snakes could have gotten through them. They did reach out to zoos, reptile rescues, etc... but no one wanted these snakes because of the gross conditions under which they were kept. They didn't want to risk bringing in parasites or disease to their own facilities. That's why the agreement was finally made to euthanize them. this guy was hugely irresponsible about everything, and now that he's regained consciousness, he's blaming everyone but himself for everything that has happened.

[@lapepitadeorooficial]

My conflict is (and im not a Chandler Hater) this comes from a wreckless handler... this is how stupid this ordeal is

[@dakupenndragon810]

Guy got bit by a Cobra and still free handles them. Definitely isn't leading by example.

[@kleepo7733]

Yeah you can tell his cobra bite didn't diminish Chandler's ego and he did it. He kind of has no right to criticize anyone else when he is doing the same thing.

[@lapepitadeorooficial]

@@kleepo7733 exactly!

[@madbioreptiles]

There is a difference between free handling & believing you have the power to control the animal & free handling expecting the worst out & plan to avoid it. (I am not a free handler but I can see the difference)

[@ModernReptile]

Thanks for the feedback! We spent the afternoon with Chandler the day of recording and I can confirm he does not have an ego.

[@Lastchanxe_exe]

The inland Taipan and the Eastern brown snake I think it is, don't have antivenin of their own. Despite being 2 of the deadliest snakes in the world let alone native to Australia, bites aren't common enough to warrant antivenin. Not sure what they use for Eastern Brown snake antivenin but I know they use Coastal Taipan antivenin for the inland Taipan.

[@karenfitch1351]

That sc dude was free handling stiletto snakes on a few posts too...he was asking to get bit

[@VIPEqTHud]

Viperkeeper’s channel said 12 hrs until antivenin. He also said there was more available but that people didn’t want to give it to someone who was so reckless

I agree North Carolina has no regulations when it comes to exotic animals. They leave it up to the individual county but most don’t have any regulations either. I’m pretty sure South Carolina is the same way. We do need more regulations and permit systems.

[@joshuastover1047]

@@l0ckmanjohn why should he be entitled to something someone else has? He could’ve stocked his own AV.

[@l0ckmanjohn]

@@joshuastover1047 having your own anti venom is ideal, however it is not a simple process and the thousands of dollars it costs to stock even one vial of Australian anti venom for a snake that has caused no recorded fatalities anywhere and only two bites. It’s easy to understand why he wouldn’t. I’m not saying that Jeff is entitled to their anti venom, I believe in personal freedom. I can’t imagine making the decision not to share it when you know it could cost someone’s life though. But that is a moral decision for them to make. I just think it makes KRZ look really like a company that doesn’t care about people at all though. Also unlike what people say, they don’t extract for anti venom there they extract for medical research.

[@joshuastover1047]

@@l0ckmanjohn I’ve been keeping venomous for 30 years and personally know Jim and Kristen from KRZ. I totally support their decision and like must of the community feel Jeff is a cancer on the reptile community

[@l0ckmanjohn]

@@joshuastover1047 they may be great people, I don’t know them I’ve seen their channel and heard them on podcasts. They seem knowledgeable and they don’t have to be friendly or make the right moral decisions. They are free to decide what they want. It just looks bad on them. Fortunately Jeff seems to be recovering without their help. To me the idea of not sharing anti venom with someone who you consider careless would be like not donating blood because a motorcyclist crashed doing a wheelie on the highway. I wouldn’t say you couldn’t make that decision, I’d just think less of you for making that decision.

So there’s no laws against venomous in Pennsylvania state but there are laws against them in local ordinances
