thats his name rob i have bein tryin to find this guy for a few years now he used to have a show and then they stop showing it on animal plant, awesome guy
@mechan9 Yes brown snakes bites, like with human deaths are the leading killers of pets by snake bite in Australia. Mainly because the animals usually cats and dogs try to kill the snake that bites them.
I have a query about an experience I had with a western brown snake. I chased after the speedy snake across the sand to identify it and eventually caught up and ran alongside eight meters away. Suddenly it turned around and started heading toward me. I thought the snake was going to attack so I froze and let it slither between my feet. Is this behavior part of the snake’s defense to warn me or is it possible it hadn’t noticed me?
I know you were saying that it's a myth that baby browns are more deadlier than adult browns, but the reason I heard for this myth was that the baby brown is more likely to inject all of it's venom, where as an adult was less likely to inject as much venom. Could this be true?
hey Rob how many times have you been bitten in your entire life ? and have you been injected with venom ? also what is the most painful bite ? cheers !
Their fucking deadly haha, where i grew up one time my parents were playing music in the kitchen and a 5 foot long brown snake came in and just chilled in there feeling the vibrations from the music then just left again, their only dangerous if you pretty much step on them. If you see one just let it be it's not hard.
@porkchop2705 Yep, they sure do... males actually have two penii (penisis?) unfortunately God wasn't too kind, as he only lets them use one at a time... lol.
hey Rob , i live in proserpine just up the road from you . Are you open to the public anymore mate ? , I heard you were down near exmoor but werent sure if youd started another park .Cheers Mat Lucas
@marlsmat Hi Matt, No we havent opened another park, we still have a few critters including the crocs on a 175 acre property near Midge Point / Bloomsbury
Rob, you and those like you are an immense influence on this humble chap. John Cann, Eric Worrel, Steve Irwin, Rodney Fox, Malcom Douglas, Alby Mangels, Michael Cermack, Neville Burns..... I could go on forever with a who's who of Aussie true blue, fair dinkum top blokes!! Many humble thanks to you for the continued inspiration and may our paths meet favourably one day!
were i originated from.. cohuna district vic, a family lost a 14MONTH OLD BABY GIRL 2002 ?..the grandparents were babysitting, they put her to bed..shortly after they heard her cry ..been BITTEN by a BROWN SNAKE.
1/ i don't believe the snake came into her bed..but was already in there.
2/ when you find snakes inside..always brown,s & old run_down houses
3/ so much for, the online snakebite deaths in Australia since white settlement..she's not even recorded..her grave is opposite my old mans.
G'day mate, I had a terrifying experience with one of these this week, I was walking my dog and she dropped her tennis ball, I picked the tennis ball up when a 2 metre Eastern whipped it's head around a metre from my hand, I've sh@% myself and jumped back, but my dog just stood there with the snake in it's S shape and flaring it neck like a cobra 2 feet from my dog's face, I screamed frantically for my dog, she just leisurely strolled away from it, and I needed a change underwear.
@chuckthebong As you have just experienced the snake did not attack, it stood in self defence and did nothing as you and the dog, "liesurely" well the dog anyway, walked away.
once again as i always say the snakes dont want to bite us, both you and the dog were in striking range but unless either of you physically touched the snake there was really no danger.
@RobBredl Yeah mate, cheers, I still have a fear of snakes and I just like to keep my distance and let them be, but I do understand it just felt threatened and reacted in it's natural manner.
Chasing a calf through a paddoc the other day and I went to pick up a rock. Low and behold a bloody 6 foot long brow 2 feet away from my hand. Needless to say I have never screamed so much like a girl!
@LordBob1234 After all the rain with plenty of food there are lots of snakes around, so be a bit careful. Once again a close encounter with a large brown snake within striking range only gave you a big fright, the snake did not attack, when it very well could have, IF snakes were at all in any way aggressive which they are often portrayed to be. If you are very close to a snake, stand still make like a tree dont move and you will be safe.
never forget when i was a kid i went to my uncles farm and we jumped into his old kb5 inter truck , and we jumped out , we had a guest he he never forget that , old mr browny he he
Stand still?? Stuff that, if your in long grass or places littered with clutter, wear gumboots, and if you disturb one just back away and leave it be..
@RandomMcJagger Brown snakes aren't the type of snake to go out of its way to attack a human. If it feels threatened by you then yes, start worrying. But just as long as you don't piss it off you should hopefully be fine. :) welcome to Australia
Rob, your a bloody champ bloke... I love all my aussie reptiles to death and it kills me to see other people bring harm to em.. Conservation and awareness through videos like yours are the key to the survival of the many species we have... Top vid!!!
he handles it so well because he knows its there , its when you pick up a piece of tin , or walikng in the grass and they see you first , and you dont see them woops
I remember when i lived in north queensland, i had a pet duck called charlie and we made a cage for him in the greenhouse, i went to get him out and there was a king brown snake right next to my foot, i grabbed the duck and ran lol it chased after me lol
@power0000 They go into a semi hibernation, they dont feed but still come out and sun themselves on good sunny winter days. Infact its a good time to go snake hunting they are less active and more sedentary. CHeers Rob
Rob, a serious question. How do you gain confidence to handle deadliest snakes like this? Ofcourse, there is going to be a first step, but you just do them so simply!. hats off!
It comes from experience, don't worry I have my moments about a week ago while getting Koala leaves I stumbled upon the biggest brown snake i have ever caught, about 2 meters long and about as thick as my wrist he got my adrenaline going. I also had to capture him with no equipment just a piece of stick I broke from a branch of a nearby tree. I actually caught my first deadly snake solo on my way to primary school at 10 yrs of age a "tiger snake".
Living in Australia is quite a dangerous life, you guys have some of the most venomous snakes on earth. You're my idol, the way you treat them like they're harmless. Great video!
I love your vids Rob, but I don't like the modified rake you're using to pin their heads. I guess you're only using moderate pressure, but it still looks like it could injure the animal if you happen to push too hard. Just an observation. Cheers
@Socked22 As far as I am aware it’s produced in a modified saliva gland, and I have it on reasonable authority that the makeup of snake venom is not much different to the makeup of human or for that matter any other animal saliva.
It’s just simply that the concentrations of the varying components differs from us and between the species to give rise to the myriad of toxic effects each has on different species.
I do love watching these nature shows,but is it just me or do the Aussie ones act a bit nutty? Whats in the water there? These guys are brave but a bit crazy.
@FaithChick1 More like just ignorant/somewhat stupid....Their so called "dangerous animals" are mostly overrated compared to the animals in other continents
Rob, you are an absolute legend. Love that line "kill ya dead". Im from Sunshine Coast. Where can we see ya? Do you have marketing items, dvds tshirts etc?
@MrMdove To MICE..Their is ZERO proof that it is the most venomous to humans or to any other animal but a mouse... Of course it could be #1 but it could also be #40 to humans for all we know.
@yobro250 Watch the steve irwin documentary about top 10 venemous and dangerous snakes taipan can grow to 3-4 meters they are #1 most toxic and most likely to strike
@MrMdove Nah mate. you are wrong. The taipan (or coastal taipan) is completely different species from the fierce snake (inland taipan) the taipan is found in sugar cane country in Queensland and northern nsw. The fierce snake is found way out in the Aussie outback where there is nothing but cracks in the ground for them 2 hide from the sun in. inland taipan is far more venomous then the taipan, but alot less dangerous because of where it lives.
I'd also argue the inland taipan is less dangerous because it's smaller, has shorter fangs, and the coastal taipan has a fatality rate w/o antivenom matched only by the black mamba. If i had to restrain one for any reason, I'd rather deal with an inland taipan.
I can't speak for Australian snakes but it has been noted that baby snakes do have more of a punch. Not because they are more venomous but larger snakes in defense may not release venom or very little because they want it for feeding not defense. The babies have not developed control of the muscles for the venom thus inject more venom as a result. Moccasins are very common to do dry bites as adults.
Baby snakes are so tiny compared to their adult counterparts that this notion defies any kind of logic.
If a large snake injects a “little venom” one would imagine that it would be equal to or more than that of a full bite from a baby snake ?? As I understand the venom gland is a modified salivary gland so there is no reason for a snake to conserve its venom supply for so called hunting purposes?
Hope this is of use as there are so many fairy tales out there. Cheers Rob
@RobBredl Here in the US I always used to hear that young rattlesnakes (one of our three pit vipers the other two being the copperhead and the watter moccasin AKA cottonmouth) were more dangerous than full grown ones, but I have no idea if that's actually true or not. Is there much research there into medical uses of snake venom? Here clinical trials have shown that copperhead venom contains some substances that have been highly effective in killing cells in breast cancer.
Utter nonsense. If you'd rather be bit by an adult diamond back rattlesnake weighing 6kg with 1.5 inch fangs than a baby, I'd say you take old wives tales like that a bit too seriously.
@RobBredl Also there is currently a drug on the market (don't recall the name of it) that was developed from rattlesnake venom and current research has had some promissing results with some types of cancers responded to other trial drugs devolped from rattlesnake venom.
Snakes controll the amout of venom injected, so unless the adult injects all of their venom, then a young snake is just as dangerous.
Yes, venom is produced in a modified saliva gland. However, they don't have the ability to just create more venom when they feel like it. It takes time for them to replace 'wasted' venom. If they bite everything that threatens them, then when that long overdue mouse runs by, they'll be low on venom.
Having been bitten over one hundred times by baby Brown snakes ,Tiger snakes, and Black snakes, I stand by my assertions. Having been involved with people who milk snakes for a living over the last 50 years, I know about snakes and their habits etc. The dry bite I believe comes from “fright bites” where the snake generally reacts in fear and instinct, where as the full blown bites usually occur from direct injury or grasping of the snake, standing on, trying to kill or capture etc.
@DemonLDR ??? Then if an inland Taipan has the capability to kill 250,000 mice with a single bite, then when THAT LONG OVERDUE MOUSE runs by I guess he won’t need much venom to dispatch it??
@RobBredl True. It won't need much venom to kill the unlucky mouse. However, the amount of venom caried, doesn't mean its ok for it to waste it. Thats like emptying a full magazine of bullets on one person. Thats overkill, and not 'cost effective'.
@chiconspiracy No. I would be happy to do either one of them, as I know what im doing. Some smaller snakes can be harder to work with, as theyre often much faster, harder to get hold of, and more unpredictable.
@martenfisher1 I have been bitten by a baby snake and it did not hurt it left a mark for a while but did not hurt but it was not poisonous but was a watersnake in delaware with anti-coagullants but that snake barely made me bleed.
@martenfisher1 You have been given false info. The age of the snake has little to do with the amount of venom released by the snake. In fact, a smaller snake = smaller venom glands, which in return, = less venom.
@DemonLDR People keep telling me I am wrong yet they never explain why adults snakes dry bite. I personaly have been dry bit handling a copperhead as a child. I also know of moccasin bites they were dry and on the croc hunter a worker got bit by an adult snake and it was also dry. Taipan i think but not sure.
I have heard that venomous snake adults try to reserve the venom for food. This may not be true. One thing is true is that dry bites from adult snakes do occur. I know this as a fact.
@martenfisher1 All snakes are capable of giving a dry bite. The reason they do this, is that the venom they use is costly for them to make. They don't have an unlimited suply. If they use their venom on everything that causes them distress, they will not have any left when a prey item passes it. Adult snakes have more experience than young ones, so they're more clued up on what is a true threat. A dry bite would make most people leave the snake alone. If not, then a fully loaded one deffo will.
@DemonLDR That is all what I said and here is a quote from you "Adult snakes have more experience than young ones, so they're more clued up on what is a true threat." So in other words I was not given fale information.
@martenfisher1 Yes, I did say that. But, this doesn't mean they're more dangerous than adults. It all depends on species, and personallity. Some snakes are well known for dry bites, some are known for injecting lots of venom. Every snake is an individual.
Imagine it as a person with a gun. Some people may shoot before they think, where as others may just use the gun as a threat. The threat of violence is often enough to make someone think twice before they attack. Most snakes count on this
@DemonLDR People keep telling me I am wrong yet they never explain why adults snakes dry bite. I personaly have been dry bit handling a copperhead as a child. I also know of moccasin bites they were dry and on the croc hunter a worker got bit by an adult snake and it was also dry. Taipan i think but not sure.

you told me you met steve irwin!!!! i would like to know why, where and when you guys caught up???!!!! (sorry for my silly questions over and over again...but somehow, i am really interrested in that fact!).
PS: i would like to come to australia and work in your park!!! would that be possilbe????
This seems a little cruel to me... tormenting the poor snake. Sure, not a lot of people have sympathy for Brown Snakes, but that doesn't mean we should treat them poorly.
RobBredl was one of my heroes when I was a teen and Killer Instinct was on TV in my area. I wish I could go outside bare footed but I'd be knee deep in snow right now. Cheers reptiles!
@yobro250 no one is interrested in what you are disturbed from or whatever!!!! robs information is correct!!!! try to read some books about LD50 or ask BGF.....i think he will be laughing about you mate! go and look for an other youtube channel to go people on their nerves please!!!!! cheers!
@snakehuntermarc91 His information is very wrong.The brown snake isnt anywhere near the 2nd deadliest snake.. Not even close. And australia is not even remotely close to being "the land of the deadlies". Many continents have more dangerous animals and Asia and maybe even Africa have more dangerous snakes
I've read plenty of books on the ld50.. It is a joke/has no credibility on anything other than a mouse. OZ has 6 of the top 10 drop for drop potency to mice.. Humans are a whole different story
One good thing in the end of it they both survived. Snake was just defending it's self as dad trud on it mistaking it for a stick....dads property is full of them as well as red bellys tigers...personally I love em all.
He could hardly breath and nearly went into a coma..and would have been very little drop of venom...he would not go to the hostpital or seek any medical help what so ever as he is stubborn old man..
My dad got bitten by one last week Bathurst white rock visiting his fathers grave site...he is ok though it took a couple of days to get over it.one fang only panatrated the skin through tough work pants with venom drenched on the out side of his pants
G´day Rob!!!! who is yobro250?? i think he is very disturbing!!! hehe. i am really looking forward for your new show mate!!! why don´t you run the park in airlie beach anymore?? i hope to meet you and tim very soon!!!
P.S.: what do you mean with you didn´t mind steve irwin???
I don’t know who yobro is but obviously he is a bit confused,
I didn’t mind Steve as a person he was ok, just a bit over the top with enthusiasm at times.
Unfortunately the information he put over in his programs was a bit misleading for the sake of ratings I suppose. As they say never let the truth get in the way of a good story!
@RobBredl No unfortunately you are the one who is confused/wrong. Or maybe your just stupidly biased towards you native animals???? Because anyone who has studied the subject knows that the ld50 is a joke and has no bearing for humans. Not to say that the brown isnt extremely venomous to humans... it is, just that I dont believe it is the 2nd most venomous to humans.
@snakehuntermarc91 So being educated and knowledgeable on snakes makes me disturbed... Lmao no wrong clown... I just call it like I see it and while I should not have insulted him... he is over hyping aussie snakes[ which is understandable considering he is australian] but they arent as deadly as he is claiming they are..
@ yobro250: In response to Australia being the land of the deadlies.Cont:
How can you blatantly say that Australia is NOT the land of the deadlies?
You suggest that you are correct based on "studies" that you have read. Please show me these studies that compare Asain and Australian snakes in relation to human death, and where they are not biased. You do not even make mention to the Inland Tiapan, are you suggesting that it is harmless to humans because there are no documented human fatalities?
@ yobro250: In response to Australia being the land of the deadlies.
You admit in your comments that population density and chance of encountering a snake are important factors. You also suggest that you have taken into account snake bite treatment availability, however i fail to see any of this when you preach your comparisons between bite symptoms and fatalities between the different countries. Australian treatment includes air transportation from rural areas, anywhere, anytime. Does Asia?
@ yobro250: In regard to Australian snakes NOT being the most venomous snakes in the world.
To say that the LD50 tests on mice has ZERO relavance, is ridiculous. As far as it having the same exact results if tested on humans, agreed that that would not be the case. But im sure that if tests were somehow tested on fatalities to humans, that there would probably be a relative correlation between the two. To say that the LD50 tests are completely irrelavent to how deadily the snake is is ignorant.
@ yobro250: In regard to "aggressive" venomous snakes. Please inform us on which snakes these are...? Bearing in mind that aggression when defined means:
- In psychology, as well as other social and behavioral sciences, aggression (also called combativeness) refers to behavior between members of the same species that is intended to cause pain or harm.
- violent action that is hostile and usually unprovoked.
@ yobro250: Your comments not only entail very little common sense, you have a tendancy to contradict yourself an awful lot. If you were simply asking a question or asking out of curiosity, then that would be different, or for that matter if you were just creating discussion for aspects that you do not agree w/ then that would be fine, actually something that we would encourage. But you insist on attacking Rob is a joke, has no credibility or like has no idea what he is talking about.
@ themullettiscool, 5Fathom5, cuontv2: Thank you for your support of the old man (Rob). For everyone else that has left comments or is just interested, thank you also for tuning in :)
@RobBredl Wrong my dear aussie snake fan boy. Their are aggressive venomous snakes. Just because the overrated australian snakes are timid doesnt mean the rest of the world only has timid non aggressive snakes. Sure most venomous snakes are timid but to say that a snake like the russells viper isnt aggressive is just foolish. "The Thai cobra most dangerous Asian snake" lmao you clearly have never read any reports on bites from snakes in Asia and just talk out of your ass
i enjoy your shows Rob! im glad its you playing with that brown girl and not me! i feel pretty safe here drinking a stubbie behind this computer screen. You need to do a few shows on collecting bait for fishing such as Barbi grubs and scrub worms.. cheers mate. All the best......
@fnsicq He seems like a nice guy and is probably entertaining but some of his comments lead me to believe that he has absolutely no idea what he is talking about and has never even read any study on bites from venomous snakes nor done any researchon venoms of different snakes and the symptoms that these venoms cause on humans. His thai cobra comment alone makes himlose all credibility when their are many other types of asian cobras and other asian snakes that are more deadly than the thai cobra
@chiconspiricy Thats because the ld50 test is a joke and has no bearing on how toxic snakes are to humans as humans react way differently to toxins than do mice...
But you are actually wrong.The common cobra[ naja naja] scored a ranking on the ld50 of .53
This makes it a very toxic snake and one of the most toxic on the ld50. The russells viper scored .70 which makes it the 2nd most toxic viper[ behind the mojave rattlesnake] and it scores very highly aswell. The saw scaled didnt score highly
@yobro250 So the common cobra and the russells viper do score as being very toxic to mice on the ld50 test.... and of course we know from studies and articles on bites that they are extremely potent to humans.. The most toxic snakes to humans based on studies and the research that I have done are the Bungarus snakes especially Bungarus Candidus, Bungarus Multicinctus and Bungarus Caeruleus.. Then comes the Taipans which are 2nd and then probably the Mambas and an assortment of other snakes.
No Killer Instinct has finished production, although we do have proposals for a new TV show. Glad you liked the KIller Instinct series we did enjoy making it.
Snakes can pop up anywhere in Australia but you rarely come into contact with them. You shouldn’t worry because the most dangerous part of your immigration will be the drive to and from the respective airports, rather than snakes..
Snakes are deaf almost blind and reasonably slow and will not bite unless you pretty well physically touch them, try to catch or kill them, so they will be the least of your worries I can guarantee you that.
i love snakes and not afraid of them but i fear the mamba the most because of their aggressive reputation. anyway i have a question: have you ever met steve irwin and what was your opinion of him?
Firstly there are no aggressive animals on the planet they either react in self defence, protecting their young, nests etc or hunger and you happen to be in their kitchen at dinner time!
Personally I didn’t mind the guy and yes I had met him.
@RobBredl Australian snakes are NOT the most deadly snakes in the world.... That is a complete myth pushed out by australian herpetologists like yourself based on a ridiculous and irrelevant test done on mice. The most dangerous snakes to humans are Asian snakes...Australia has 1 of the top 10 deadliest snakes to humans[ the taipan] all the others are highly overrated and dont even compare to many deadly Asian snakes. The mice test has ZERO relevance to humans and Asian snakes are the deadliest
Hey Yobro250, I’ve got a small 80cm brown snake here, with fangs you can hardly see, would you be willing to take a few bites, just to be sure it injects some venom and sit it out just to prove your assumption.
Funny, if what you say is true, all our Australian venomous elapids are evolved from migrant Asian snakes, why then are they so inferior in the venom department?
@RobBredl Obviously I'm not going to volunteer myself to get bitten by a brown snake lol.. But would I prefer a brown snake bite over say a common krait or a russells viper bite? Yes most likely I would..
The evolution part makes no sense.. Their is cross evolution between African and Asian venomous snakes as well yet you still have more severe bites coming from asian snakes[ based on the studies that I have read] than you do from African snakes.
@yobro250 anti venom is not as readily available and the quality of hospital care is alot poorer in most of the affected areas you are referring to. Russells viper has a mortality ratio of 50%, Fierce snake is 92%, Taipan is 90%, even the black snake which as far as Australian snakes go is one of the weaker venomous species its mortality rate is 45% higher in children of course. Why is everyone debating the fact. If Asia had the same species as Australia, it would be much worse than u say it is
@themullettiscool That's actullay not true, Anti venom is pretty widely available in Asia but Asian snakes have such nasty venoms that sometimes people receive antivenom and then die anyway from compilations.
And ur wrong on ur %'s..Yes the taipans are arguably the most venomous snake to humans in the world... but the eastern brown and tiger snake and most of the other aussie snakes are incredibly overrated and dont even come close to causing the severity of bites that some asian snakes cause
@yobro250 Average bite yield for Cobra is 60mg, for Russell’s V. is 63mg, Saw scaled V. is 13mg and Krait is 20mg. Fatal dose at 12mg cobra, 15mg Russell viper, 8 mg saw scaled viper and 6mg for krait, considering the average yield per bite from a brown snake is 4mg, the average yield not the fatal dose! Even if it was the fatal dose it takes 6mg of krait venom to kill a human, the brown kill at 4 mg so it shouldn’t take a genius to see that the brown must be somewhat deadlier to humans.
@RobBredl Also it should be noted that brown snakes are responsible for 60% of fatalities from snake bite in Australia.
It is therefore quite easy to imagine the browns lethal dose could be as low as 1mg or less, this to me is quite evident that its venom is much more potent if compared to the krait bite of 20 mg with a lethal dose of 6mg! , considering that 60% of deaths in Aus are to browns.
@RobBredl So I stand by my assumption that the common brown is still considered at the present the second most “deadly” but not “most dangerous”: known snake on the earth.
@themullettiscool or to read studies on bites from humans and then after factoring everything in[ like quality of hospitals, access to antivenom, transportation] come to a conclusion about how toxic a snake is to humans... I have read many studies and frankly alot of australian snakes[ with the exception of the taipans] dont cause all that severe symptoms
The phillipine cobra is highly toxic,but actullay the kraits[ with the exception of the banded krait] are the most toxic land snakes in asia
@yobro250 then id say you didnt read carefully enough. Im not sure why you would even want to debate this, but while you are educating yourself, may want to take a look at the LD50 regarding snake venom. You are I am right, i have seen how snakes are treated in Asia as i was there for myself. I stand by what i said get a snake charmer to charm a Mulga and see how that pans out for them. You are wrong, most people from Sri Lanka and Philippines etc dont seek medical help
@yobro250 they actually go to a herbal alternative guide as you must pay for hospital treatment and people there have little money. So dont talk garbage based on some crap you read on google. Buy appropriate reading materials on toxicology and see the real information. Taipan aguably most venomous, firstly Fierce snake and Taipan are related but not the same. Anyone that knows about snakes knows that the name Inland Taipan is a second name. Please name me a terrestial snake more toxic?
@themullettiscool Sure I could name a few... The ld50 tests are done on MICE and mice do not react to venoms in the same way as humans, dogs, cats, hippos, horses, etc react to venoms... Every animal has a different ld50 for different snakes and to say that because a brown snake is more potent to a mouse than say a type of krait... that it automatically is more potent to humans to is wrong/stupid.. Especially when you read studies on bites on humans between the two.. Mice aren't humans!
@yobro250 I’m glad you stated from “based on the studies that I have read” as I have had first hand experience with my father and his many colleagues that have been bitten by our venomous snakes and have been privy to information on deaths to our snakes even with the excellent treatment available I feel you are missing the point.
@yobro250 I ask this of you if our brown snake is so much less “deadly” than the Asian snakes how is it a relative baby brown with fangs that can just penetrate the skin with an amount of venom almost invisible to the naked eye kills a man?
In Asia and Africa treatment for most snake bites for the vast majority of people is almost non-existent with a huge population in rural areas so a general snake bite injecting a lethal amount results in a death.
I miss seeing him on tv.

1/ i don't believe the snake came into her bed..but was already in there.
2/ when you find snakes inside..always brown,s & old run_down houses
3/ so much for, the online snakebite deaths in Australia since white settlement..she's not even recorded..her grave is opposite my old mans.

G'day mate, I had a terrifying experience with one of these this week, I was walking my dog and she dropped her tennis ball, I picked the tennis ball up when a 2 metre Eastern whipped it's head around a metre from my hand, I've sh@% myself and jumped back, but my dog just stood there with the snake in it's S shape and flaring it neck like a cobra 2 feet from my dog's face, I screamed frantically for my dog, she just leisurely strolled away from it, and I needed a change underwear.
chuckthebong 5 months ago
@chuckthebong As you have just experienced the snake did not attack, it stood in self defence and did nothing as you and the dog, "liesurely" well the dog anyway, walked away.
once again as i always say the snakes dont want to bite us, both you and the dog were in striking range but unless either of you physically touched the snake there was really no danger.

@LordBob1234 After all the rain with plenty of food there are lots of snakes around, so be a bit careful. Once again a close encounter with a large brown snake within striking range only gave you a big fright, the snake did not attack, when it very well could have, IF snakes were at all in any way aggressive which they are often portrayed to be. If you are very close to a snake, stand still make like a tree dont move and you will be safe.

How is venom produced?
Socked22 9 months ago
@Socked22 As far as I am aware it’s produced in a modified saliva gland, and I have it on reasonable authority that the makeup of snake venom is not much different to the makeup of human or for that matter any other animal saliva.
It’s just simply that the concentrations of the varying components differs from us and between the species to give rise to the myriad of toxic effects each has on different species.
Hope this answers your question.

@MrMdove Nah mate. you are wrong. The taipan (or coastal taipan) is completely different species from the fierce snake (inland taipan) the taipan is found in sugar cane country in Queensland and northern nsw. The fierce snake is found way out in the Aussie outback where there is nothing but cracks in the ground for them 2 hide from the sun in. inland taipan is far more venomous then the taipan, but alot less dangerous because of where it lives.
cambaman33 9 months ago
@cambaman33
I'd also argue the inland taipan is less dangerous because it's smaller, has shorter fangs, and the coastal taipan has a fatality rate w/o antivenom matched only by the black mamba. If i had to restrain one for any reason, I'd rather deal with an inland taipan.
chiconspiracy 8 months ago
I can't speak for Australian snakes but it has been noted that baby snakes do have more of a punch. Not because they are more venomous but larger snakes in defense may not release venom or very little because they want it for feeding not defense. The babies have not developed control of the muscles for the venom thus inject more venom as a result. Moccasins are very common to do dry bites as adults.
martenfisher1 1 year ago
More of a punch?
Baby snakes are so tiny compared to their adult counterparts that this notion defies any kind of logic.
If a large snake injects a “little venom” one would imagine that it would be equal to or more than that of a full bite from a baby snake ?? As I understand the venom gland is a modified salivary gland so there is no reason for a snake to conserve its venom supply for so called hunting purposes?
Hope this is of use as there are so many fairy tales out there. Cheers Rob
RobBredl 1 year ago
@RobBredl Here in the US I always used to hear that young rattlesnakes (one of our three pit vipers the other two being the copperhead and the watter moccasin AKA cottonmouth) were more dangerous than full grown ones, but I have no idea if that's actually true or not. Is there much research there into medical uses of snake venom? Here clinical trials have shown that copperhead venom contains some substances that have been highly effective in killing cells in breast cancer.

@RobBredl Also there is currently a drug on the market (don't recall the name of it) that was developed from rattlesnake venom and current research has had some promissing results with some types of cancers responded to other trial drugs devolped from rattlesnake venom.
xexixk 10 months ago
@RobBredl This info is misleading,
Snakes controll the amout of venom injected, so unless the adult injects all of their venom, then a young snake is just as dangerous.
Yes, venom is produced in a modified saliva gland. However, they don't have the ability to just create more venom when they feel like it. It takes time for them to replace 'wasted' venom. If they bite everything that threatens them, then when that long overdue mouse runs by, they'll be low on venom.
DemonLDR 9 months ago
Having been bitten over one hundred times by baby Brown snakes ,Tiger snakes, and Black snakes, I stand by my assertions. Having been involved with people who milk snakes for a living over the last 50 years, I know about snakes and their habits etc. The dry bite I believe comes from “fright bites” where the snake generally reacts in fear and instinct, where as the full blown bites usually occur from direct injury or grasping of the snake, standing on, trying to kill or capture etc.
Rob
RobBredl 9 months ago
@DemonLDR ??? Then if an inland Taipan has the capability to kill 250,000 mice with a single bite, then when THAT LONG OVERDUE MOUSE runs by I guess he won’t need much venom to dispatch it??

@RobBredl True. It won't need much venom to kill the unlucky mouse. However, the amount of venom caried, doesn't mean its ok for it to waste it. Thats like emptying a full magazine of bullets on one person. Thats overkill, and not 'cost effective'.

valstar1000 10 months ago
@martenfisher1 You have been given false info. The age of the snake has little to do with the amount of venom released by the snake. In fact, a smaller snake = smaller venom glands, which in return, = less venom.

@DemonLDR People keep telling me I am wrong yet they never explain why adults snakes dry bite. I personaly have been dry bit handling a copperhead as a child. I also know of moccasin bites they were dry and on the croc hunter a worker got bit by an adult snake and it was also dry. Taipan i think but not sure.
I have heard that venomous snake adults try to reserve the venom for food. This may not be true. One thing is true is that dry bites from adult snakes do occur. I know this as a fact.
martenfisher1 9 months ago
@martenfisher1 All snakes are capable of giving a dry bite. The reason they do this, is that the venom they use is costly for them to make. They don't have an unlimited suply. If they use their venom on everything that causes them distress, they will not have any left when a prey item passes it. Adult snakes have more experience than young ones, so they're more clued up on what is a true threat. A dry bite would make most people leave the snake alone. If not, then a fully loaded one deffo will.
DemonLDR 9 months ago
@DemonLDR That is all what I said and here is a quote from you "Adult snakes have more experience than young ones, so they're more clued up on what is a true threat." So in other words I was not given fale information.
martenfisher1 9 months ago
@martenfisher1 Yes, I did say that. But, this doesn't mean they're more dangerous than adults. It all depends on species, and personallity. Some snakes are well known for dry bites, some are known for injecting lots of venom. Every snake is an individual.
Imagine it as a person with a gun. Some people may shoot before they think, where as others may just use the gun as a threat. The threat of violence is often enough to make someone think twice before they attack. Most snakes count on this

You suggest that you are correct based on "studies" that you have read.

You do not even make mention to the Inland Tiapan, are you suggesting that it is harmless to humans because there are no documented human fatalities?

@ yobro250: In response to Australia being the land of the deadlies.
You admit in your comments that population density and chance of encountering a snake are important factors. You also suggest that you have taken into account snake bite treatment availability, however i fail to see any of this when you preach your comparisons between bite symptoms and fatalities between the different countries. Australian treatment includes air transportation from rural areas, anywhere, anytime. Does Asia?
TimBredl 1 year ago
@ yobro250: In regard to Australian snakes NOT being the most venomous snakes in the world.
To say that the LD50 tests on mice has ZERO relavance, is ridiculous. As far as it having the same exact results if tested on humans, agreed that that would not be the case. But im sure that if tests were somehow tested on fatalities to humans, that there would probably be a relative correlation between the two. To say that the LD50 tests are completely irrelavent to how deadily the snake is is ignorant.

@ yobro250: In regard to "aggressive" venomous snakes. Please inform us on which snakes these are...? Bearing in mind that aggression when defined means:

His thai cobra comment alone makes himlose all credibility when their are many other types of asian cobras and other asian snakes that are more deadly than the thai cobra
yobro250 1 year ago
@chiconspiricy Thats because the ld50 test is a joke and has no bearing on how toxic snakes are to humans as humans react way differently to toxins than do mice...
But you are actually wrong.The common cobra[ naja naja] scored a ranking on the ld50 of .53
This makes it a very toxic snake and one of the most toxic on the ld50. The russells viper scored .70 which makes it the 2nd most toxic viper[ behind the mojave rattlesnake] and it scores very highly aswell. The saw scaled didnt score highly
yobro250 1 year ago
@yobro250 So the common cobra and the russells viper do score as being very toxic to mice on the ld50 test.... and of course we know from studies and articles on bites that they are extremely potent to humans.. The most toxic snakes to humans based on studies and the research that I have done are the Bungarus snakes especially Bungarus Candidus, Bungarus Multicinctus and Bungarus Caeruleus.. Then comes the Taipans which are 2nd and then probably the Mambas and an assortment of other snakes.

I'm immagrating from the UK to Perth, WA, Should I worry about snakes or are they a rare sight in the suburbs?

Snakes can pop up anywhere in Australia but you rarely come into contact with them. You shouldn’t worry because the most dangerous part of your immigration will be the drive to and from the respective airports, rather than snakes..
Snakes are deaf almost blind and reasonably slow and will not bite unless you pretty well physically touch them, try to catch or kill them, so they will be the least of your worries I can guarantee you that.
Cheers and welcome to the land down under. Rob.

i love snakes and not afraid of them but i fear the mamba the most because of their aggressive reputation. anyway i have a question: have you ever met steve irwin and what was your opinion of him?

Firstly there are no aggressive animals on the planet they either react in self defence, protecting their young, nests etc or hunger and you happen to be in their kitchen at dinner time!
Personally I didn’t mind the guy and yes I had met him.
Cheers Rob.

@RobBredl Australian snakes are NOT the most deadly snakes in the world.... That is a complete myth pushed out by australian herpetologists like yourself based on a ridiculous and irrelevant test done on mice. The most dangerous snakes to humans are Asian snakes...Australia has 1 of the top 10 deadliest snakes to humans[ the taipan] all the others are highly overrated and dont even compare to many deadly Asian snakes. The mice test has ZERO relevance to humans and Asian snakes are the deadliest

Hey Yobro250, I’ve got a small 80cm brown snake here, with fangs you can hardly see, would you be willing to take a few bites, just to be sure it injects some venom and sit it out just to prove your assumption.
Funny, if what you say is true, all our Australian venomous elapids are evolved from migrant Asian snakes, why then are they so inferior in the venom department?

@RobBredl Obviously I'm not going to volunteer myself to get bitten by a brown snake lol.. But would I prefer a brown snake bite over say a common krait or a russells viper bite? Yes most likely I would..
The evolution part makes no sense.. Their is cross evolution between African and Asian venomous snakes as well yet you still have more severe bites coming from asian snakes[ based on the studies that I have read] than you do from African snakes.
yobro250 1 year ago
@yobro250 anti venom is not as readily available and the quality of hospital care is alot poorer in most of the affected areas you are referring to. Russells viper has a mortality ratio of 50%, Fierce snake is 92%, Taipan is 90%, even the black snake which as far as Australian snakes go is one of the weaker venomous species its mortality rate is 45% higher in children of course. Why is everyone debating the fact. If Asia had the same species as Australia, it would be much worse than u say it is

@themullettiscool That's actullay not true, Anti venom is pretty widely available in Asia but Asian snakes have such nasty venoms that sometimes people receive antivenom and then die anyway from compilations.
And ur wrong on ur %'s..Yes the taipans are arguably the most venomous snake to humans in the world... but the eastern brown and tiger snake and most of the other aussie snakes are incredibly overrated and dont even come close to causing the severity of bites that some asian snakes cause
yobro250 1 year ago
@yobro250 Average bite yield for Cobra is 60mg, for Russell’s V. is 63mg, Saw scaled V. is 13mg and Krait is 20mg. Fatal dose at 12mg cobra, 15mg Russell viper, 8 mg saw scaled viper and 6mg for krait, considering the average yield per bite from a brown snake is 4mg, the average yield not the fatal dose! Even if it was the fatal dose it takes 6mg of krait venom to kill a human, the brown kill at 4 mg so it shouldn’t take a genius to see that the brown must be somewhat deadlier to humans.

@RobBredl Also it should be noted that brown snakes are responsible for 60% of fatalities from snake bite in Australia.
It is therefore quite easy to imagine the browns lethal dose could be as low as 1mg or less, this to me is quite evident that its venom is much more potent if compared to the krait bite of 20 mg with a lethal dose of 6mg! , considering that 60% of deaths in Aus are to browns.

@RobBredl So I stand by my assumption that the common brown is still considered at the present the second most “deadly” but not “most dangerous”: known snake on the earth.

@themullettiscool or to read studies on bites from humans and then after factoring everything in[ like quality of hospitals, access to antivenom, transportation] come to a conclusion about how toxic a snake is to humans... I have read many studies and frankly alot of australian snakes[ with the exception of the taipans] dont cause all that severe symptoms
The phillipine cobra is highly toxic,but actullay the kraits[ with the exception of the banded krait] are the most toxic land snakes in asia
yobro250 1 year ago
@yobro250 then id say you didnt read carefully enough. Im not sure why you would even want to debate this, but while you are educating yourself, may want to take a look at the LD50 regarding snake venom. You are I am right, i have seen how snakes are treated in Asia as i was there for myself. I stand by what i said get a snake charmer to charm a Mulga and see how that pans out for them. You are wrong, most people from Sri Lanka and Philippines etc dont seek medical help
themullettiscool 1 year ago
@yobro250 they actually go to a herbal alternative guide as you must pay for hospital treatment and people there have little money. So dont talk garbage based on some crap you read on google. Buy appropriate reading materials on toxicology and see the real information. Taipan aguably most venomous, firstly Fierce snake and Taipan are related but not the same. Anyone that knows about snakes knows that the name Inland Taipan is a second name. Please name me a terrestial snake more toxic?
themullettiscool 1 year ago
@themullettiscool Sure I could name a few... The ld50 tests are done on MICE and mice do not react to venoms in the same way as humans, dogs, cats, hippos, horses, etc react to venoms... Every animal has a different ld50 for different snakes and to say that because a brown snake is more potent to a mouse than say a type of krait... that it automatically is more potent to humans to is wrong/stupid.. Especially when you read studies on bites on humans between the two.. Mice aren't humans!

@yobro250 I’m glad you stated from “based on the studies that I have read” as I have had first hand experience with my father and his many colleagues that have been bitten by our venomous snakes and have been privy to information on deaths to our snakes even with the excellent treatment available I feel you are missing the point.
RobBredl 1 year ago
@yobro250 I ask this of you if our brown snake is so much less “deadly” than the Asian snakes how is it a relative baby brown with fangs that can just penetrate the skin with an amount of venom almost invisible to the naked eye kills a man?
In Asia and Africa treatment for most snake bites for the vast majority of people is almost non-existent with a huge population in rural areas so a general snake bite injecting a lethal amount results in a death.
