Snake island of Australia, the island full of deadly venomous Tiger snakes

There is an island full of deadly venomous snakes near the coast of Australia. It is called Carnac island. The snake species that lives here is the Tiger snake (Notechis scutatus). Supposedly there are about 3 snakes in every 25 square meters! That is an insane abundance of dangerous snakes. The Tiger snake is one of the most venomous snakes in the world. Only a few species of terrestrial snakes, like the Inland taipan or the Eastern brown snakes, have a more toxic venom. The origin of Tiger snakes on Carnac island is a bit of a mystery. In this video we explain why. The island is about 10 km off the coast of Western Australia. No people live here, but this area is home to other animals like skinks, birds and rare Australian sea lions.

Snake handler in Australia, '' Ben Avery'' was bitten by one of these a couple of years ago. He was bitten on the thumb, and done everything right, but still had a horrible time, with his kidney's shutting down, and he was on Renal Dialysis for a couple of weeks. Show's the potency of the Tiger's venom.

[@LivingZoology]

Yes, this species has a very potent venom!

[@mifo2000]

My uncle was bitten on the finger by a brown slowly floating past a stump in the middle of the river out fishing somewhere at the bottom of NT If it wasnt for the Royal flying doctors he would have died, all is organs were shutting down and needed all the machines hooked up too, it was months before he could be transferred back to vic because he was obviously rushed to S.A. Then more months of treatments at home.. Even if you do survive your body can be permanently damaged by either a brown or tiger and life changing

The general genetic diversity of populations around Perth is very low so scientists were not able to pinpoint the origin of Carnac island snakes. We tried to get to the island close to Sao Paulo twice, it is not easy.

I note Carnac Island is slightly south of the port city of Fremantle. A nearby popular tourist attraction is Rottnest Island. I have taken this trip. I believe we were also warned about snakes there, but didn’t see any that day. Rottnest is a fun place to visit and bicycle around! Always something to kill you in Australia, but pretty place! I’ve been there 5 times. Always something interesting to see!

They are much bigger than the mainland Tigers around Perth probably due to the abundance of food, eggs and seagull chicks.

[@tonylocke1214]

Garden island is much the same. Not far from Carnac island, but most of the tiger snakes there, have had their eyes pecked out by seagulls, to stop them from taking their chicks. Its available by land, so it would seem unlikely that the snake population is introduced.

The islands in Bass Strate have a separate “island tiger” snake growing to nearly 1800mm, six feet. These live on Muton Bird ( Shearwater) chicks. Thus they only feed once or twice a year, as they are limited in the size of chicks they can swallow.

[@LivingZoology]

Yes, there are more islands which have Tiger snakes. Thanks for watching.

[@jamesb.9155]

We have been to Rottnest Island near there, without knowing about the snake populations there.

Gorgeous camera work.

[@LivingZoology]

Glad you think so!

[@welshskies]

A fascinating story. If the tiger snake is an introduced species I wonder if the ecological equilibrium of the island has changed. Has Carnac Island's seabird population altered between 1900 and 2000 and are the tiger snakes involved? Made me think of the introduction of the brown tree snake to Guam.

[@LivingZoology]

Yes, this island has a fascinating history! We haven't found any data about the population change of nesting birds in 1900-2000. Silver gulls nest throughout almost the whole year and some nest more than once. It is possible that the arrival of snakes just caused the fact that more gulls nest more than once per year.

[@thylacine1004]

Them snakes would also eat the skinks and each other,cannibalistic etc

[@russellhanley4417]

The population of silver gulls in the metropolitan area of Perth is much larger now than it was in the past, due to the greater population of humans and their effluent streams providing a rich source of food - landfills, stormwater drains, rubbish bins etc. All of the offshore islands are utilised for breeding and I seriously doubt there would be any evidence of an impact of the snakes on the number of gulls using the island, or the population of gulls in general.

Notes on snakes: 1. They can have a venomous bite. 2. I think that they do not have eyelids, therefore, do they have problems with the glare of the sun. 3. Their "light" range is different from us, therefore do they see more of the light spectrum? 4. They use their tongue to smell. 5. They shed their skins. 6. They are cold blooded. 7. They like heat. 8. They can swim in water. 9. They eat meat, but are then satisfied for a while after a meal. 10. When they mate they lay eggs. 11. They strike fast when provoked. 12. Are they front fanged or rear fanged? 13. What kind of poison do the venemous snakes contain, for example, does the poison attack the nervous system? 14. Does it flatten its head? 15. Can its venom be milked?

[@LivingZoology]

2. They have a brille or eye cap, it evolved by fusing both eyelids. As far as we know, they don't have specific problems with the glare of sun. 3. We don't think they see a different light spectrum. Some snakes have pit organs but those are not visual organs. 11. Some snakes are ovoviviparous. 12. Many snakes don't strike at all, even if provoked. 13. Some snakes are front fanged, some rear fangs, some don't have fangs. 14. Main types of toxins are neurotoxins, myotoxins, cytotoxins, hemotoxins. 15. Some snakes flatten their neck when feeling threatened. 16. You can milk snakes for venom.

[@LivingZoology]

2. They have an ocular scale, also called the brille or the eye cap, resulting from fusion of dorsal and ventral eyelids. 3. Some snakes have pit organs which help them to sense infrared thermal radiation, but they don’t see it with their eyes. 10. Many snakes are ovoviviparous, meaning that eggs hatch inside a female and she gives birth to live young. 11. Many snakes don’t strike at all and try to escape, play dead, hide their head under their body…Snakes have many types of defensive behavior.

Venomous snakes like the climate here in Australia and the casual, relaxed lifestyle and the ample space with a veritable smorgasbord of tasty small game to eat. All good and cogent reasons for venomous snakes to settle here, mate, and make little venomous snakes.
