The Red Bellied Black Snake

[@cherylemaybury2540]

We had a red belly black snake living on our property south of BEGA. We left him alone and taught the kiddos how to respect him and stay out of his way. We would sometimes see him out by the chicken coop. I preferred to have him there because I hoped he would keep the brown snakes away. They are such calm, docile snakes and will try to get out of your way. No one was ever bitten by him and we never felt threatened by him either.

[@bluebird802]

Similar story.i used to get home well after dark during winter. My first kid I'd run up the back in the freezing cold to get the fire wood. Some nights I would hear a rustling as I gathered the wood, not knowing if it was me lifting the logs and disturbing the grass or something else. Either way I was always too bold and tired to care. At the end of winter I'd look forward to running the mower over the long grass tidying up that messy part of the yard . This time I picked up the remaining 2 logs and there he was a 1 m red belly black. Wow, I pulled away at first then I sat back on the mower and we just looked at each other for probably 10 minutes or so. I think I was quickly over my shock but he was just saying " how's ya day mate, bloody cold winter ," Well I heard the familiar rustling the next winter but no more after that. He must have moved on. So many people I've told that story to and no one believes me. Me and me mate know it's true.

I agree, I have had two up close encounters with them and they weren't aggressive at all, The first one was several years ago I looked down and had a rather large one slither right between my feet he never tried to bite me. I was able to get him bagged and relocated. Not a bad critter at all, but yeah give them some space and things will be alright.

[@jayocearmada3482]

I think I saw one of these today, I saw a rather thick, jet black tail slide gracefully into the dense ground cover plants alongside the path I was walking on, near to a river. I don't think it could have been anything else, it looked like it belonged to a large snake. It seems really cute on the video, I wasn't sure if it was dangerous or not when I saw it. Soon as I spotted it my heart jumped and I turned back the other way, but it seems I probably didn't need to do that. I respect snakes, I had one rescued last month after I spotted it swimming around in water down a drain, I think it was a tiger snake. Great video, snakes are another one of our beautiful Australian fauna and part of the ecosystem, everyone should respect them

Question, I have come across many red bellies in my time. I have almost trod on 2 luckily I saw and was able to stop myself. One day I came across one that was amongst long grass beside my sons place I wouldn't of noticed but it let out a really weird noise that I couldn't even describe other than it was almost a growl. People laugh at me but is that normal? It was rather large I couldn't see the length but it was very round.

How bad is the bite if u left untreated

[@Firebird894]

between our place and the neighbours, we have 4 acres they have a dam I have a few big ponds and we have a lot of these guys around and the occasional eastern small eyed which can be tricky to tell apart from baby red bellies but I understand are more nocturnal though on hot days have seen them seeking out the water for a swim, The red bellies go for swims in my pond when its hot I sit and watch them they look like an eel in the water, excellent swimmers. We will often see them in groups of 2-3 snakes in the dam together basking half in half out of the water and hunting frogs, we have seen 3 of them rounding up and flushing frogs out it's pretty interesting. We have also seen them hanging out with Diamond pythons in the national park most people walk past and don't even see them but if your quiet and calm and just sit for a while you get to see them and what they get up to, deffinately not as dumb as people think.

[@naomihoughtaling5731]

I have never seen anyone holding a venomous snake this way- only ever by the head. I was so nervous for him at first and then amazed by how calm this snake was. Any venomous snake I have ever seen caught is always in defensive mode.

[@WickedWildlife]

Naomi Houghtaling obviously I wouldn't recommend handling any venomous snake this way I know this animal very well mind you most snakes with correct handeling and some time relax very well

[@snells-window]

"Any venomous snake I have ever seen caught is always in defensive mode" and I'm sure you would be defensive as well if someone tried to catch/grab you! Snakes have no interest in attacking people, they will usually do their best to get out of your way. They only "attack" - or perhaps defend is a much better word - if they feel threatened. This snake was probably captive and used to being handled, but it's surprising that often even wild animals can be very calm if you don't present yourself as a threat to them.

[@WickedWildlife]

yes this animal is a first generation captive i believe and has been handled daily (other then during winter) most of his life

[@susangardiner]

Just learned of these snakes existence. Click on video for more info and shocked to see a venomous snake being free handled. But thank you for educating people on this snake. He or she was gorgeous.

SuperBowl XVIII Gday mate Red bellies are reasonably common amounts venomous keepers but I’d never assume any snake will end up friendly like this one, I handle all my snakes the same yet some are no where near this placid, also he could still put a pretty bad bite on me if he wanted to!

[@andycondlin872]

Question, I'm a yank here in Australia, been here eleven years. The Mrs and I are on a small farm West Of Brisbane, and as with most areas in Australia yup surprise, surprise we got snakes lol. Now I have encountered red bellies as well as several carpet Pythons and no I don't kill them. But my question is, When do they go into hibernation? I noticed a shed skin just yesterday on the side of the house that wasn't there the day before, and not being a professional snake handler couldn't id what species it was. I'm assuming it to be a red Belly but that's just a guess. It's the middle of May and I thought they would be in hibernation by now. Can you enlighten the yank a bit on whether or not I might encounter this guy I'm not afraid for myself but I am for our dogs and cat. Thanks.

[@calliefinck6275]

How is that snake staying so calm?!

[@roflcopterkklol]

Also god you are good with reptiles to get that red belly that calm, how long did you handle it before it calmed down like that? I am guessing it is a pet red belly.

[@WickedWildlife]

roflcopterkklol yes this is a captive snake, I’ve had him for about six months before filming this, some days you can work with him like this and others you can’t, but I’m lucky to have him for sure!

[@Gottalovecarpetpythons]

They are one of my favorite within the venomous snakes. Certainly, your guy was extremely calm and relaxed but l feel most of the Red Bellies are docile. l have run into a few living on a farm and not a snake that shows any defensive behavior in your presence, just don't poke with a stick though.

[@sethextremefishingadventur1991]

Hey I just don't understand why it's so come around you I really wont some one to come down and help me pick up one I love snakes I want to be a snake catcher my mum has a Python but it hasn't been hold for about 4 years but I been mucking around with it but it bit me once but I can't get him out hes so big what do I do

[@thebluewolf2472]

Sometimes snakes are only defensive inside their enclosures, so if you use a snake hook to get him out, you might have better luck and he might be less likely to bite. Don't worry too much about getting bitten by him as he's just a python and can't do much damage. They have an anti-coagulant in their saliva that causes you to bleed a lot more, but as long as you clean the wound and cover it, nothing bad will come of it. The only way to get him to calm down is to handle him daily for about an hour and show him that you aren't a threat. Sometimes that won't work and you'll just have a snake that occasionally bites, I've had one of my pythons for about 2 years, and even with daily handling she's just a bitch and likes to bite me, but I'm so used to it now that I don't flinch and it hasn't bothered me for a long time. A python bite is not something to worry about, work with him and he might stop biting, but you cannot give up halfway through, when he bites DO NOT put him away, as this teaches him that if he bites, he gets put away. Just keep him out, don't make sudden movements in front of his face and all should be fine. Put him away when he's calm.

[@alantaylor6691]

I don't find the red belly that aesthetically pleasing, but it's my favourite snake in terms of disposition. It is super tough, eating eastern browns etc, but also somehow nice lol. The red belly would be the snake I'd get if I wanted a snake friend. My most aesthetically pleasing snake is the Manghan Viper, and one of the sexes in particular, I forget but it might be the female. From afar It looks like an ancient magical mossy forest from the sands of time, but from close up it's this extremely complex, sophisticated and precise geometric pattern that variates on the level of individual scales. By far it beats all those really outwardly stunning pythons, as unlike those other pretty snakes, the Manghan Viper has layers of aesthetics about it, as well as each of those layers in themselves is more subtling incredible. And get this, it only exists I think on one mountain in China. And it's a viper, venomous. And it's got snake wings and can fly, kidding!

[@panchoverde5078]

Do they not bite???

[@CactusSkeleton]

The way they give birth sounds similar to that of a slow worm, I bet they have to be careful more than most breeds as I can imagine it would be easier for predators to get to the babies because of the soft membrane...

[@WickedWildlife]

Cactus Skeleton luckily they break out of the membrane either during the birthing process or within minutes of being born So are Probobly safer from predation then a species like the eastern brown snake which is left in an egg in an Undefended nest

I have hot and cold running black snakes at my place. I call them the "gentlemen of snakes". I have seen visitors walking next to the river in long grass with black snakes around their legs in an accidental encounter. I have seen this more than once. I have also had the honour to see males coiling together and rising up off the ground all twisted around each other, until they overbalance and fall over. I have seen this possible territorial behavior two or three times also. Or maybe this is a male and female courting, I'm not sure about which it is. But lately, within a few months I have found two blackies dying. They were comatose, and they looked flaccid. The next day they were dead. The deaths were several weeks apart. Do the males ever fight and kill each other? I am concerned because I haven't seen a single goanna for at least three years, and there used to be many of them and they were around scavenging every day in the warm times of the year.
