  • how do u kill it

  • The venom is highly potent and their danger shouldn't be underestimated.

  • How much bigger the adult would be?

  • Awesome man - you packed even MORE information into this video than the last one I watched! Very helpful videos, thanks much! 

  • Where do these guys operate?

  • @LoneWolfofAlaska Our nonprofit is based in the US, but the focus of our project is Sri Lanka.

  • @scrotumup As for the mambas bite being "worse overall".... Its hard to say... The mamba has longer fangs and a larger venom yield... but I dont know if it causes worse symptoms.. Krait bites during the day dont cause as severe symptoms as krait bites at night[ which constitutes 85 percent of krait bites]...But its hard to say which causes more severe symptoms...a krait bite at night or a mamba bite

  • @yobro250 From what I researched Black Mamba bite symptoms typically manifest very rapidly compared to Krait bites and with both snakes the symptoms are difficult to reverse once established. Also, there have been a few cases a Black Mamba bites causing acute renal failure on top of their neuro/cardiotoxic venom. I can't say which snake is more toxic to humans as tests are not done on humans. Taipan bites also have a complex venom mixture that can be difficult to treat if left too long.

  • @scrotumup More toxic to humans??? I dont think so... Maybe the taipan but the brown/tiger/black mamba arent as toxic as kraits are to humans

  • @bigclown187 Yeah it is insanely venomous...For humans... I think that the krait family[ Bungarus] have the most toxic venom drop for drop.. The banded krait is said to be much less toxic than the other kraits but with the exception of the banded krait.... the krait family is the most venomous to humans out of any snake family.

  • Note to Self: Don't grab any snake in Sri Lanka with the intention of discovering if they have undivided subcaudal scales or not.
