  • this is not a inland taipan, it is a costal taipan. he is more danger than a inland taipan. he ist more aggressive, an lives close to the peoples.

    a innland taipan is a little bit more toxic, but far away from citys and suburbs.

    a bite from a costal taipan kills you also easy, then a bitte from his brother, the inland taipan.

  • The inland taipan isn't one of the most venomous snake in the world,it is the most venomous snake in the world.

  • where is my shot gun all snakes need a good bullet

  • I one time stepped on a snake thinking it was a stick...

  • @wasaby1289 me too man !!

    i was on slip n slide when i was liek 6 or sumthin and i wa like cool a stick and i picked it up and i was slimy and i was like oh that not a stick thats a snake ...and like 5 sec later wait ... SNAKE !!!!!

  • @familyguymanful Hahahaha sounds scary!

    

  • if ya kill it you get fined if you dont kill it you die like wtf mate

  • I would have pulled my dick out and shoved it in the taipans mouth hahahahaha

  • a good aussie snake

  • Yeaaaah, i wouldn't be standing there, lol

  • coastal taipan australias longest venomous snakes record was 3.35 meters and the 3rd most venomous snake in the world nice!

  • Its ok children, pick up the little harmless fella!

  • The most toxic , as in lethal or poisonous, is the fierce snake AKA the inland taipan found near the conjunction of Qld. N.T. and NSW. Most venomous in the world

  • Whilst all snakes are protected in Australia, there is an exclusion zone where this protection does not apply. It's location varies. Right now that zone is at my address, tomorrow it will be at my workplace. This weekend it will be at the golf club and my favourite fishing hole.

  • Just wondering was this at healsvill? In melbourne?

  • you have a nice house

  • this is verty verty dangerous snake to have as a pet you can''t let run around like cats and dog. It kills peoples!!!!

  • last october i took my 3 kids to ballarat went to one of the wild life parks lookin at the reptiles, we were lookin atthe red bellie black snke with was right with to the tiger snake, taipan and brown and other deadly snakes anyways it was one of those displays were the galss at the front slides open so anyway the guy working there walks past and goes "oh shit i beter lock them" any kid could've came along and opened one!!!! ... talk about an accident waitin to happen

  • @amylouiseallison BTW sorry for all the typos was in a hurry

  • @amylouiseallison why do adults have youtube accounts? I thought it was just kids and teens and stuff that mostly have them,

  • @gunspinner101 does it really matter??? and anways my kids use youtube alot more then me

  • @amylouiseallison is sopose not, but IDK I guess the whole world uses it at any age.

  • isnt that dangerous anyway??just a little fence of glass to protect from these two dangerous snakes!? wtf - fuckin´australians :D

  • @WatWesIck Well unless you jumped the glass you're fine. The second snake is a python and not a threat at all.

  • at first i was like wtf are you doing with a taipan in your house with kids around! and you're fucking video taping this shit! then i watched farther into it and realized it was just a display at the zoo lol!

  • and australian snakes are considered among the top because of the type of venom they have. it's a necrotizing venom that causes much more dmg to the body then neurotoxic venom does, people who survive necrotic venom bites sometimes lose body parts but neurtoxic venom causes death, its a case of whats worse a lost leg or a lost life

  • there is alot of confusion about what the most deadly snake actualy is. a 2009 study done at harvard university said that after 10 years of research the black mamba's venom drop for drop is the deadliest, you have to remember you're not taking into account the amount of venom a snake injects durring envenomation. The survivability rate of a mamba bite even with anti-venom is less then 50%, the green mambas venom is almost 99% as toxic

  • I think Taipan is the 2nd or 3rd most deadliest snake, the most deadliest is the sea snake

  • that frkn sucks having that thing so close. id shit myself

  • i live in nz and we have like some small sharks that u could almost just pick up without getting bitten and aussie is just over the ditch and has the most deadly of all the animals lol

  • Comment removed

  • What are you waiting for?

    Chop that sucker in half!!!

  • I heard if you rub its belly it will go away. lol.

  • i have a 12gauge shotgun for that fuckin thing

  • That python woke up to the aroma of nice, plump little kids ...

  • Fuck i love being an australian but the fact weve got so many lethal snakes doesnt exactly make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside lol.

  • You have some of the meanest spiders too! I don't think I'd be able to leave the house!

  • Spiders here love the bedroom at night or the shower they jump off the shower screen and run across your face snakes get into everything even your car nothing is save lol.

  • Sounds lovely ... I'd have to learn to sleep with one eye open!

  • Lol or you could use a car bubble for a bedroom

  • and not to mention the killer kangaroos

  • Spiders like to live in the house and snakes outside, sharks and killer jellyfish in the ocean. Catch 22! Haha, it's not that bad. Mind the Cassowarys though.

  • Haha so true, I love living in Australia, if I see a python I'm more then happy to leave it alone but chances are if you see a snake here it isn't a python.....

  • look kids,, a snake pick it up it wont bite..lol

  • Well you couldn't find almost any zoo in America that they would let children or anyone else touch a Python, (lawsuit city)

    having goats and sheep in most American petting zoos is about as far as they go.

  • This is a Eastern Brown snake isn't it?

  • lmao,a taipan in a house with kids,the stairs and floor.

    go ahead kids,pick up the snake,mommy said its ok...

  • @veryevilnip well it's not like she let it in

  • @veryevilnip wasn't a real house and yes it was dumb for her to have her kids touch that big as snake but still im preety sure that snake log thing shouldn't be so close to the claas it might get out

  • @veryevilnip It's at Healesville Sanctary, near Melbourne, Australia. The video is being taken from behind a glass barrier so the snake isn't able to get to the punters. The python sits on the rail usually for people to touch. I've been there when they used the Tiger Snake. At least it looks like my photos of Healesville do...

  • it looks to me the Taipan is a coastal Taipan...3rd deadliest snake but considered the most dangerous snake in Australia because of its intelligence and aggression...

    awesome snakes tho...love it

  • That taipan is a deadly mofo, no matter which kind it is. It looks like a coastal to me but I can't see it close enough. In any case I'd leave it be just like you did!!

    That second snake a coastal carpet python! :) It's sweet-looking but not as pretty as my jungle carpets. :D

  • this snake kan kill up tp 20 Humans one hit =((.. Very very dangerous snake!!!

  • no not 20.. 100 men or 10.000 rats.

  • mate if i had a snake like that in my house the snake would be on the receiving end of a baseball bat or some thing im lucky i live in england :)

  • Lucky, 99.9% of deaths by snake bites occur becuase douche bags try to show how tough they are against an animal with no hands or legs, basically blind and totally deaf. If you educate yourself you'd know that all you have to do is stand still around and aussie snake and it can't pick up on your presents, all aussie snakes need movement to see.

  • Why would they pick up my presents?

  • lol

  • die

  • I'm no snake expert or anything but that looks like a black mamba. He has a black mouth if you watch closely when he's eating the mouse or whatever :)

  • Don't mambas live in Africa only?

  • Maybe it's imported from Africa, who knows :D

  • its a coastal taipan

  • Its head is a little bit differently shaped from that of a mamba. This is a coastal taipan not the inland taipan.

  • are you an idiot it says taipan

  • Yes i'm an idiot, but at least i'm an idiot smarter than you. It doesn't have to be a taipan just because the title says it is a taipan. It's like believing everything written in the Newspaper... Why am i even bothering? Good question, good fucking question.

  • you really are an idiot lol i dnt even have to say that that last message said it all

  • oh never mind it was at a zoo/exbit. sorry

  • i thought the black mamba was the deadliest in the world? what did u do to the snake?

  • yuck i bet that snakes pissed eating that mouse tail its prolly like swalloing cheeze on pizza thats still on the pizza and theres a string going down your throat lol

  • they can chase you

  • but they wont

  • at first i thought it was in ur house lol

  • come to India my dear cowgirl and unzip me. You'll see the deadliest blacksnake evva!! BTW I saw a king cobra in my back yard when I lived in India, I can't forget the day...and it was the only and hopefully last time I've seen one.

  • lol king cobras are gorgous snakes u really shouldnt fear any snake unless it just bit u give it space and respect and ull receive the same also never corner a snake its the worst thing in the world to do

  • who would live in australia :O

  • not you ya pussy

  • its not my fault u live pack full of deadly animals

  • omg maybe you sick if that snake have at home

  • she should kill it before it finish the rat.. other wise its hard to handle..

  • lol why would she kill it if its in a snake sanctuary.

  • lol let it bite u -_-

  • orga i think thats a anaconda lol

  • once there was a 1 foot thick 15 ft long water mokasine in its attack position and i didnt see it it was less than 1ft away from me

  • B.S they only get to be like 4 foot

  • look in the books the babies r 4 ft the adults can grow up to 20.5 ft which was the record most grow up to 16 ft now

  • nooooo the babies are like 12 inches

  • Dang i would be so scared.I like snakes but i hate them when they are by me.I just get scared.If that tai pan would only get to close to me even though it would be a 12 inche class would be protecting me i would be about 800 kilmometers away from in in about 5 minutes lol

  • The Inland Taipan has the most toxic venom, this is a coastal Taipan, although deadly it isn't at the top of the list. The Common Brown is know because of its aggressive behavior, there has never been a recorded death from an Inland anyway.

  • Actually according to LD 50 tests the most venomous snake in the world is the Hooked Nose Sea Snake needing only .02 mg per kg to kill a test subject. 2nd on the list is the Inland Taipan .03 mg, tied with it is the Russells Viper .03 mg, next the Dubois's Reef Snake .04 mg, Eastern Brown .05 mg those are the top five most venomous. The Russells Viper should be considered the most venomous on land because it can yield up to 250 mg of venom, the Inland Taipan only 110 mg at any one time.

  • why let him in call animal protection or whatever i feel sorry for u poor poor australians.

    and youve also got jellyfish on ur hands...

    or preferably not

  • Its a zoo.

  • keep your child away!!

  • omg that is deffinetly in somebodies lounge and they're pretty close to that if it is in thier house with kids!

  • LOL nevermind its at a zoo

  • is that ur pet??

  • Hmmm, that "sanctuary" looks alot like someone's loungeroom don't you think?

  • lol it is hehehe and you can here kids in the background lol

  • shhhh, we dont wanna get him in trouble mate ;)

  • one drop of venom can kill over 250,000 mice or 100 grown men

    inland taipan

  • Love Snakes, but fear them as well.

    Get bitten by a Taipan & one starts loosing vision.

    The Venom Paralises the major organs throughout the body

  • what type of zoo are you at lol

  • From a toxicity level of danger to humans this snake is extremely deadly. Although it lives in places no humans are usually around.

  • we have em in the bush near me house mate

  • ur will written up yet?

  • I actually laughed.

  • yea i know that there has never been a reported death from an inland, people react different to venom even though the inland is the most venomous according to the ld50 chart that doesnt mean that it would be the worse one to get bit by in every case. people are not mice and not all react the same but the LD50 is the best thing so far to give you an idea of what snakes are in the top.

  • did you know that there has never been a reported death from an inland taipan?

  • people that comment on videos like this just make numbers up. either research what you say or dont say it. venomdoc. com is a site that will give info anyone wants on venomous the guy who owns it is a venom researcher in australia names dr fry. good video tho we dont have any cool zoos like that here. tho i have my own cobras and other vipers to look at

  • neve you think thats a juenile lol. 50 cobras yea ok you obviously dont know much about snakes. why do people make numbers up? ebe your friend has a taipan that he holds yea right. they are not easy to get and if someone had them they would know better then to try and hold it. ghlover where do you get that its 650 times stronger then a diamond back you just make it up? mojaves are the most toxic rattler in the usa. most toxic rattlers in the world i believe is the neotropical.

  • I think what he means is that the venom from a inland taipan is 50x more toxic then that of a cobra which to be exact is true, but only of the indian cobra.

  • firstly its a juvenile taipan second they have more venom in one bite than 50 cobra's thirdly BERKO the dog just got hammered 6 times wet bites and 4 dry bites from a 6 n half foot inland TAIPAN..happened on the 25/10/08 n he survived so far without anti venom...closest vet is 200 k away and 330 a 6ml vial required with 10% adreneline infused with saline...

    HINT::::KEEP YA DOG STILL N COOL WITH WATER IF THEY SURVIVE THE FIRST HOUR YA GOT IT WON..MIX GLUCOSE N WATER TO RE-HYDRATE N BE PREPARED..

  • I think what you mean to say is that the venom is 50x more toxic then that of a indian cobra..It doesnt produce 50 x more then a cobra.

  • why do you have a venomous snake and small children in the room at the same time?

    and its not even in a cage!

  • Most snakes only bite if they feel threatened, so don't f*ck with them and you won't die.

  • its a celecrity snake

  • its a fucking taipain mate

  • My friend has a Taipan snake just like this and its really calm and my friend can pick it up. They seem to be shy of people. I never will pick it up. Im not going to have a death wish. One bite and you better get to a hospital quick and hope they can treat the bite

  • what snake ate

  • Why would you let it lose in you house?

  • they just come in through cracks and doors. i had a 3 metre carpet snake attack my pet lorikeets. they didnt die though

  • ohhhh ffs you they didnt let it loose, the fucking things go inside homes to keep cool

  • taipans are a stealth hunter they RARELY go inside unless its unavoidable..easy rule just dont fuk with them

  • i wonder if you just walk by would it attack you?

  • its almost unheard of, they'll try and get away from you

  • i heard children. why would you have children in the house with it. it may be in a tank but the children could open it and get bitten get rid of it

  • or as it is also known the fierce snake

  • Taipans are probably the gnarliest snake Australia has. Id consider them to be the most dangerouse easily. Theyr so quick and get pissed off really easy, and they are territorial, which mean they wont run and hide but defend what patch of earth they deem they own. And they never bite just once, but a bunch of times, pumping plenty of that super toxic shit into you, a drop of which is enough to go all Chuck Norris on your body.

  • The most deadly snake in the world is not decided by venom potency neccesarily, but many other factors as well. In my opinion, the saw scaled viper is the most deadly, because drop for drop, it has more potent venom then any viper. It is also very aggresive, and lives alongside many thousands of people. Its camouflage is very good, so people often step on it.

  • Good points. Toxicity, size of snake's venom glands, amount of venom injected, type of snake, inclination to bite, & proximity to snake species factor into "deadliest". Black mambas aren't most toxic, yet they ARE deadliest to humans. Coastal taipans, 2nd. Although Mojave green rattlers are more toxic than E. diamondbacks, you're worse off w/ a full-on bite from a large diamondback.

    SSVs, Russell's vipers, mambas and other aggr snakes are bad because they usually deliver a lot of venom.

  • thats awsome i would love 2 have a wild snake eat mice in my house but all the snakes i have r in cages cause my mom would freak out

  • Black mamba venom is a pure neurotoxin,the taipans venom has some heaomotoxic componets also,so mamba or taipan,the mamba venom works so much faster than the taipns venmom and kills faster but all in all the taipans venom is more toxic but slower working..

  • inlandtaipan is die giftigste schlange der welt

  • Are we saying deadliest due to the power of the venom or due to the amount of venom?

    There is no doubt the taipan rates up there for potency as well as large amounts of venom it delivers as well as being an extremely long snake (I am unsure but if i remember correctly taipans in excess of 1.7m have been found)

    As for the snake with the most potent venom, if we include marine snakes, it goes to a seasnake of which breed i cannot remember.

  • Due to the power.

  • The Black Mamba is ONE of the deadliest snakes in the world but not THE deadliest. That nomination does infact go to the Taipan. The Taipan is the most venomous snake in the world. Black Mambas are the fastest and most aggressive.

  • Does anyone actually do any proper research on this, i.e books. The internet is great but wikipedia is a peer moderated and submitted database. ie it is some ones opinion.

    The taipan is up there yes, but the snake with the most potent venom (land based snake) is the Small scaled snake, or Fierce Snake. If the inland taipan is another name for it so be it, but i don't think so.

    Reason why not many know this : The snake is actually come across on the rarist of occasion.

  • Small scaled snake actually is a synonym for the inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus). Microlepidotus means "small-scaled".

  • people cant just accept fact

    always blahblah 'one of whatever'

    'one of..'

  • black mamba isnt the deadliest its indefinantly the inland and coastal taipans

  • the deadliest snake i the black mambo i don't tink he lives australia so it can't be that the 7 deadliest snakes live in australia

  • nahh it is the taipan black mambo isnt even in the top ten... look it up

  • u sure becouse i watched the program 7 most deadliest snakes blck mambo was nr.1 he defeated taipan

  • nah, the taipan is the deadliest, what makes the mamba notirous is its apparent unprovoked agresion and huge amounts of venom it delivers per bite.

  • firstly its not black mambo, but mamba, secondly taipan has enough venom in one single bite to kill 100 humans. COuntry kids in schools in Oz are taught that, so stay away from snakes

  • Why is it laying on the floor and why isnt someone chopping its head off?

  • its a zoooo!!!!

  • i was wondering why they wernt freaking out when a snake was in their house. haha, just a zoo.

  • small scaled or fierce snake is another name for inland taipan

  • wow

  • THE most deadly snake in the world.

  • nah man the small scaled or fierce snake is the deadliest snake in the world they just dont live near humans so only one person has been bitten and that was by one that was only a couple of weeks old and it put the snake handler in a coma

  • shit, thats a snake not to be fked with then, i knew the most deadly one in the world was australian.

  • wtf!! a lethal taipan in the house with kids. oohh you people are nuts!!

  • time to go get the shovel!!! lol

  • o my goodness! wat's that snake doing in the house

  • lol! an 'evolution forum' created from watching a snake video! haha

  • I will go to Western Australia this year and I would freak out if I would have a taipan so close to me. I'm really fascinated by snakes but as I said, I prefer to have them at a distance. =)

  • imagine if the inland taipan lived in an area the same as the king cobra and kraits? that would be fucked up..

  • well..did anybody mention anything abt King kobra??

    king of all snakes..a Super snake..

    not the most venomous, but certainly the biggest ever venomous snake..

  • the most venomous snake is the inland taipan (fierce snake). the eastern brown is far more venomous than the king brown. the russell's viper and saw scaled viper kill the most people on a yearly basis. the black mamba is very aggressive and quite venomous. the african water cobra is absolutely nuts and will keep strinking over and over and is very venomous. the kraits and king cobras, bushmasters, also kill far more people than all australian snakes put together by 500 times.

  • ..there is also about 500 times more people in the different countries that these snakes come from then Australia

  • this is true, but also there has been an evolution that has not occurred yet in australia. Snakes that have long been close to humans (1000's of years) are far more aggressive and willing to attack. Also vegetation plays a role. In sri lanka people work in the rice field and are often bit before becoming aware that a carpet viper is there. the african cobras and mambas are seriously aggressive.

  • Egyptian Cobras in particular have a nasty disposition when disturbed.

  • I find that a rather naive comment as Australia has the known human population, dating back over 6million years, whilst the oldest known evidence of human inhabitants in Asia in its entirety dates back only 2million years.

  • And that would be wrong. Modern homo sapiens evolved some 400,000 years ago, and that occurred in africa. 6 million years ago is before australopithecus, which despite the name, also was from africa.

  • As stated correctly by you, Australopithecus is an African subspecies. The Australian subspecies of "Mungo" men and women are of a distinctly different and older lineage as shown by mtDNA extracted from remains, and a pronounced difference in the height of fossil evidence.

  • You've wandered off the track, regardless of this controversial evidence of regional origin, homo spaiens arrived in australia some 50,000 years ago. my original comment still stands and is backed up by experts on venomous snakes.

  • I never commented on your original comment.

    I'm not "off the track" - my last two replies were specifically in reply to your replies on my own comment.

    The Mungo remains prove conclusively that humans were on the present Australian continent much earlier than 50,000 years ago.

    And if you want to continue to riddle into semantics, one could argue that Australia didn't even exist until 1901 - but clearly that doesn't change that people were here before that date. Do you see my point?

  • No they weren't. We are not descended from mungo, the mungo's remains in question are about 40 to 50 k old. This represents the earliest humanoid in australia.

  • Simply because we're not direct descendants of Mungo that does not mean they magically aren't human or never existed. Don't be so naive.

    Only Mungo 3 is 60 000yrs old, and he was found years ago. There have been many human finds at Lake Mungo, and one set of remains found recently dates at 6million years.
