King Brown or Mulga Snake (Pseudechis australis)

[TheThetechnician]

fuck youtube is funny,,,,,,soooo many experts.......sooo many self opinionated cunts

[mygrpa]

Protected fuck em we see them every day out this way (bourke) that little boy shouldn't have died I pulled one out of a mates shed and hit it with a hoe about ten times and will every time

[pseudechis]

@mygrpa and every time you do that you are placing yourself and those around you in greater danger of actually being bitten. King Browns are notorious snake-eaters, they're probably doing you a favour eating things like Brown Snakes.

[pythoncasey]

I have been able to get very close to mulga snakes, dugites, western brown snakes and tigersnakes, but I have never seen any of them get angry like this even when I folllow them. some of them have even slithered between my feet without any trouble!

[justinpp100]

@pythoncasey ... on the other hand i have been chased by king browns for a short distance. they only do this if they feel threatened

[panoptes1]

Crikey mate, out my way we get king browns all the time (verified by all the locals when they see a snake over 0.8m long) this one is a King Cobra you are lucky to be alive ;)

Not mucking about those things will kill a camlel through a boot.

[MrCampkill]

you all know that a king brown isnt a brown snake yeah its not related to the eastern brown or any other brown snake for that matter its a black snake and its not as venomous as people assume it is

[pseudechis]

King Browns are a very dangerous snake! It"s true that they are members of the Black Snake family and that their venom drop for drop is not as dangerous as that of a Brown Snake, but they more than make up for this with the large amount of venom they inject( the largest yield of any Australian snake!). Their venom also causes lots of tissue damage or necrosis. They have been responsible for many deaths and are definately as venomous as people rightly assume!!

[garryscott651]

I have seen some monster brown snakes on the Yass river ,big bastards that scare the shit out of ya when you come across them .But they just wan't to get the fuck out of your way,i wouldn't try to get near them for the sake of getting one on video,they can fucken kill ya.

[pseudechis]

@garryscott651 ;;;Along the Yass river these would have been Eastern or Common Brown Snakes; the King Brown is quite different. But yes, the best policy is to leave snake alone and they wont give you any problems. It's generally idiots who try and catch, kill or video snakes that get bitten!!! Thanks for viewing and commneting.

[fleur849]

I was mowing my lawn (a bit long) and a giant King Brown snake stood up and lashed out at me and as I automatically jumped back it aimed right for the very middle of my chest. It looked as if it bit me as it was sooooo very close. Obviously only an act of God saved me that day. Excately one week later a young boy (I think he was 4 years) died in the same suburb I lived in from a King Brown snake biting him whilst playing in his own backyard. I do not believe they deserve to be protected.

[mryellow123]

@fleur849 reflex, act of santa... either way a good thing

[36Zoran]

Pressure Bandage will prolong another 6-8hr life expectancy and in that time you will have enough time to reach medical emergency.

[36Zoran]

If you do get bitten by King Brown or any other snake is most importantly to remember: keep still, don’t move because that’s what kills people quicker. Make sure you have a Pressure Bandage (apply in the first 30min) or any other clothing, towels ect to rep the area where you were bitten to proven the poison from traveling to your lymphatic system and into your blood.

[36Zoran]

King Brown snakes are very poison and fetal to human. My wife and I came across King Brown when we were fishing in high country during winter time. Yes snakes do still lurk around even in winter days when its 15C and sun is high. So yes keep your eyes open for the snakes.

[chas63]

What a beautiful snake. I am hoping to move to Aus this April- specifically to Victoria; I'm something of snake enthusiast (I don't believe in keeping them as pets); where in Vic would I go to see snakes?

[gothofic]

It beautiful. We get a few browns around here, but i think they are eastern browns? (NSW) It's a shame when people murder snakes, if they are worried about being poisoned they should ring someone to collect the snake so It can be milked to make antivenom! I love snakes, would love a pet one, but don't want to risk it until my kids are older and responsible!(I would only get a python though!)

[AussieStorms]

nearly got bitten by one of these blokes up here in north queensland today. it was a big bugger, he just came out of the grass and arced up at me i was like holy shit it looks like a cobra

[leonardoboy2]

Very cobra like!

[Ringworm1281]

The other night me and my mom had to deal with a Huntsman and tonight a centiped so that means theres only 1 thing left. my mom says at night she can here a KB because they make some strange wooping sound. If we get 1 of these things in the house what should we do without hurting it?

[rob7229]

I hope you were carrying a long handle shovel for protection. And 10 mins may be true if you go for a jog after being bitten, but all Australian snakes have venom that travels through lymph... the more you move the quicker it kills you, in fact, aborigines from some tribes would bury someone up to their head if they were bitten and they could live for days with some chance of survival if the poison moved slow enough. Best option is to not get bitten!

[5haiHulud]

If you were relocating it, fair enough, but anyone who pisses a snake off in any way deserves to be bitten.

[Farmer2492]

Just do what i do get the shot gun out and give it  both barrells to easy

[mryellow123]

@Farmer2492 a farmer who likes vermin more then snakes...... interesting.... dumb but interesting

[bikie2]

@mryellow123 I do it to vermin to give them both barrels, nothing get's away LOL snakes are dangerous when you have small children so only good snake is a dead one, ask any Farmer in Australia they all do the same thing.

[mryellow123]

@bikie2 lol whatever mate... You're not the majority. Most understand it's just a matter of keeping the jard clean and kids will be fine. Oh and teaching them not to try to pick them up etc.

[7muktar]

pseudechis australis.... cool snake :)

[12BIGBAT]

wish it bit you! your a wanker!

[MBM001]

not for this at all..but we need dickheads like this to show other dickheads why you shouldnt piss off snakes, just a shame it didnt bite him.

[j201000]

i was fucking shitting it at the end !

[cutiefl]

hahahaha you idiot there arent cobras in australia its a king brown it also happens to flatten its head idot!!

[alikkan1]

dickheads like you that are allways getting bite by a snake leave them the fuck alone dickhead

[Sablebombe]

It's not a king brown u prat it is a cobra ! Has a tail is a cobra! Get a grip on snakes twat !

[rothwellullathorne]

It's a king brown, from Australia, where there are no Cobras. And last I checked, all snakes have tails. Maybe you're confused because of the flattened appearance of the body around the head, which is done by king browns to appear bigger and more threatening.

[Davobeff]

it is a king brown, a range of snakes flatten their necks when provoked, tiger snakes also do this

[Davobeff]

king browns and cobras both fall into the elapidea family there for behave similarly.

[damoyz82]

you complete fool, its a brown and they are alot more dangerous to humans than a cobra as when they strike properly the coil up and spring at you upwards where as a cobra can only strike in a downwards direction. but well done in making a dick outta yourself

[fuckicantchoose]

Fantastic video! What a beautiful snake, and a great display threat, hope to head out west and find a few of these this summer.

[docrosko]

Amazing video. I wouldn't have the courage to do anything like this. It almost looked like it was chasing after the camera at the end. Most snakes just try to get away. This one looked seriously pissed off and wanted revenge.

[geffrod]

0:23 -- I'm going away... going away

0:34 -- F*ck that. YOU'RE DEAD! RAAAAAA.

[chiconspiricy]

ktm

They've venomous, not poisonous. Also, if you're reffering to the inland taipan, you're wrong. These mulga snakes eat inland taipans without any problems. The coastal taipan is by far the most potentially deadly australian snake.

[rothwellullathorne]

Inland is more deadly if i bites you... but more people have been bitten by coastals

[chiconspiricy]

The coastal taipan can inject far more venom, making up for it being less toxic.

[flipsy87]

lol i still cant believe u did this dude, crazy coon

[bladerunn127]

I thought at the end 'OH SHIT!! DEAD MAN VID!!!' Then i saw your comments, i was like 'damn, this is onelucky bloke!' Lol

[MelkorBauglir25]

A Brown Snake is a Cobra :-)

[cangurex]

how do ya no??

YA EVER BEEN BITTEN BY A SERPENT?

[cangurex]

serpent looking for ya

[cangurex]

Can I visit you? Please....

You should contain enough protein to keep me goin fora a while whilst I devour your children

[pseudechis]

This snake was a relocation(moved to a safer place) and was only kept for a couple of hours. Perspex...no..just the handheld video cam although I have used perspex when photographing snakes with a still camera. Beating snakes......never.....the only reason this snake was "attacking" was because I was getting too close to it and persistently following it. You got the wrong guy...if you see him again and he's beating an animal(cats excepted!).....go and belt him for me!!!

[frank6717]

I hate people who kill snakes. It mostly are fellows who live in the near of the area where this snakes live and they do it without any reason. You better make pictures and movies like this guy did. Respect this great reptiles.

[chooky12345]

ur nuts man

[fishingboytom]

your going to die lol

[Keel010]

ahahhaha

[arshaydarna]

the Inland Taipan is the most poisonous snake in the world

[Tamers111]

That's not a fact. But besides that, snakes are NOT poisonous.

[thekaizer666]

sure the correct term is VENOMOUS and not POISONOUS, but, c'mon man, LAME.

[cangurex]

lame 666 were d ya live

[guitarledgend1990]

ok to all u guys saying the king brown is the most poisonous snake it isnt it is one of them but the taipan is the western taipan will kill in around 5 mins if direct hit but no records of a human killed by it iin one bite it can kill about 130000 mice, the eastern taipan has killed people, but australia has the worlds most poisonous snakes with both taipans but also the king brown and the common browm the death adder red belly black, and the tiger snake which eats the king browns.

[homicidalmaniac21]

isnt that the most poisonous snake in the world??

[guitarledgend1990]

no it is one of them but the taipan is also native to australia australia has the top 6 deadliest snakes people can say the rattle snake and the cobra are bad not compared to the aussie bad boys lol, anyways i just killed a 7foot king brown i was working on the ute and it was under it so i chopped its head off with a shovel.

[hornsrule95]

wow. this is amazing. i couldv sworn u wer bitten. keep them comin love watchin these

[SkoobaSteve32]

Are ALL your videos of you almost getting Wtfpwned by really dangerous snakes?!

[JohnnyGoo]

I never realised how 'cobra-like' they appear when agitated! The way they flatten out looks just like a hood in some of those shots!

[thesteveus]

a lot of snakes do that, the cobras hood is just bigger

[JohnnyGoo]

Yes, a lot of snakes do flatten out.

[cs512tr]

how many chances do you want...???

damn

[skywalker115na]

that snake was lethal!

[chez301]

bite goes completely untreated i.e.you don't wrap bandages around it, or keep walking and doing activities after being bitten thinking you will shake it off, are the types the venom will attack the body's tissue more rapidly. If the correct procedures are followed after being bitten by a snake and their is a hospital within 1-2hrs you have a good chance of staying alive.

[chez301]

pseudechis ia correct in saying is very very rare to be killed in less than 8hrs from a snake bite. It all depends on the nature of the bite (i.e. how much venom the snake injected) the nature of the person getting bitten (fitter people are more at risk as their heart pumps blood around their body more quickly causing the venom to spread around the body at a rapid pase, and the type of snake that you were bitten by. Brown snakes are the worse because they tend to inject alot of venom. Unless the

[ronoman88]

Although it is rare to die, if bitten by this species depending on the human victims weight,conditions and body type and the amount of poison (full bite from an adult)injected would render the victim dead in less than 8hrs!!

A 30kilo 50lbs child would be dead in 1hr.

The degenerative enzymes in this species makes human blood esp. gel in less than 5 minutes.

[FischerFan]

"The degenerative enzymes in this species makes human blood esp. gel in less than 5 minutes."

It's my understanding that the venom of the King Brown is different from that of the other Australian venomous snakes in that the toxins attack the muscles, rather than the nervous system.

Rapid paralysis is a common result. Next to the Taipan, I believe this is the largest of Australia's venomous snakes.

[ronoman88]

One Hour! If bitten by this species you wouldn't live 10 minutes. Who told him an Hour?

[pseudechis]

It is very rare to die from snake bite in Australia....not quite 2-3 people die a year. It is also very rare to die in under 8 hours although you may loose consciousness much quicker. This is not to underestimate the danger of this snake.....just get your facts right. You're much more likely to be ripped apart by a dog than die from snakebite. Best to leave snakes alone if you don't know what you are doing.....just stand back, let them go on their way...and admire these beautiful creatures!

[bmxbilda5]

@pseudechis wrong in australia we house of of the most dangerous snakes..

[mryellow123]

@pseudechis Thanks to antivenin yes. Untreated is a different story.

Dogs.... scary stuff yes, very scary.

Stand back..... yup... unlike this video.

[marklosextremus]

@ronoman88 you live longer than 10 minutes dumbass

[MrXenophobe]

Picked pumpkins in Queensland and the farmer gave us a stark warning."If you get bitten by a king brown then just go sit in the car" Upon asking why came a chilling reply "You've got about an hour to live & the nearest hospital is three hours away.Best ya mates don't have to carry ya dead body back to the car" Came across a few but only ever had to kill one.People always said they were more scared of you than you of them.Well they musta been crapping themselves stupid then lol.

[ozzez8282]

magnificent animals. Gotta love the aussie snakes!!

[krolls187]

u deserve to be bitten...then the snake can post a vid of your body shutting down

[martydosh]

<3 haters

[Staccato26]

That was freaky! 0.0

[mistermucky17]

These creatures are useless and should be destroyed on sight. Snakes on the other hand are god's creatures and keep down the rats.

[dodgeram2500fan]

dude you deserve to be destroyed on sight.

[mistermucky17]

duuuuhhhhhhh!! Some people got no sense of humour!

[blanknot]

lol I jumped.

[Staccato26]

We get these things hiding in our garden shed in Katherine!

[pseudechis]

lucky you! Unfortunately the days of big King Browns in the Top End seem to have gone.....most have been knocked over by the Cane Toads. 2m plus King Browns used to be a regular site......what a majestic animal. Now...like goannas they seem to be rare. If they are in your shed, leave them be...or ask why they are in your shed...are there frogs, mice etc hangin around there. If you are worried I'm sure the local snake catcher will catch and relocate it for you!

[dodgeram2500fan]

great snake.

[Metals999]

@pseudechis Saw a monster King Brown about 5 years ago along the Oodnadatta Track when we were out looking at the old Ghan railway. Easily 2 metres and very VERY fat. But it was around July so I guess there's more food for them that time of the year after it rains.

[mryellow123]

@pseudechis Northern NSW we have a different issue, the red-bellied blacks are eating toads while the brown numbers increase due to lack of black snakes eating them.

[n0CharGE]

Thats just crazy... YOUR CRAZY !!! :D:D

[laurence265]

yuo got to be crazy it allmost got ya lol

[ausssiepride]

thats crazy

[Stadiumhere]

Why didn't you just leave the poor animal alone? And by the way,did you know that the King Brown can kill you? It can inject over 150 gr in one bite (the tiger snake "only" 10-20 gr). And 80% of humans bitten by it..pass away.

[letsfknrumble]

was the animal harmed at all?, no it wasnt.

and going by all this blokes vids he obviously knows what he's doing,unlike your statistics read straight from a textbook, go hug a tree.

[rondarb]

hahahar!!! great response letsfknrumble!!

[mrabbit10]

Great video! Awesome snake. Well done on the footage without getting killed :) Keep them coming!

[reckless4990]

XLNT footage, been living in South Australia for 18 months and seen about ten or eleven, all Eastern Browns so far, how did ya film this one? Mobile phone on the end of a long stick I hope haha.

[karnkunt]

watched nearly all your snake vids and loved every one of em, good to see another crazy Ozzie runnin around the traps, lol.

enjoy the bush mate!

[smetlogik]

Pretty aggressive snake, I've had bullsnakes with similar reactions here in the U.S.  Enjoyed all your tubes.

[pseudechis]

Just to set the record straight.....the snake is a King Brown Snake or Mulga Snake...and its' scientific name is Pseudechis australis. It does get confusing because it is not a member of the Brown Snake family but rather the Black Snake family.This one was filmed at Cooinda in Kakadu National Park in the Northern Terrritory.

[justcrackin]

Don't know which it is Brown or Mulga but what ever it is it aint happy. I am going with a Mulga snake doesn't look to have the brown head.

[fannikafaninkaman]

try 3rd with easter browns being 2nd and inland taipans aka small scaled snake aka fierce snake being 1st

[Jonnie868]

What kingy. King browns are members of the black snake family. Nice looking snakes, but they are around the 5th venomous snakes in the world.

[aidentalontarrat]

thats the pilbra cobra man that REALLY looks alot like a cobra at times

[dollo72]

I dont know how u filmed that. It scared me stiff jst watching it
