Snake Handler with Snake Hooks and copperhead snakes

[XxAmayaSanxX]

I want to learn to properly use a snake hook.

the deadliest snake in the world is actually the inland taipan also known as the "fierce" snake made famous by steve irwin the crocodile hunter.

@MudDobber247 You are incorrect.

The subfamily and genera of the Elapidae family that live in the ocean (seas snakes), are the most toxic, drop-for-drop, to almost all animals. This is because they eat fish, which are very fast-moving. They need a venom that will immobilize them instantly.

Oxyuranus microlepidotus. the Inland Taipan, is the most toxin neurotoxic snake (mg for mg of venom) on LAND, as in terrestrial snakes.

@MudDobber247 BUT, arguing the "most toxic" is pointless, as toxicity is measured on rodents in LD50 scales, which don't translate equally to humans. Take Care,

OK I'm pretty sure copperheads don't shoot their venom. That's all I'm gonna say on this.....

[Snakeman418]

If the snakes head is pinned and the fangs are out it might squirt a little venom but it will not shoot it at people like a spittin cobra.

they dont spit venom

[ladybloodrose]

when you open a venomous snake smouth an apply pressure to the glands at the back of the head with the fangs extended in a forwar dposition it will cause them to spit or spray the venom ;)

[ballpython32]

thats when you apply pressur they might spite, when i open my snakes mouth they dont do that the venom just dripps

[ladybloodrose]

I have a cotton that will shoot venom, and a cane that will.

I have also seen a 4 foot Eastern Cottonmouth hit the screan guard of a cage hard enough to squirt venom into the eyes of the keeper who was tending it.

i have northerns and a cobra and i have never seen them spit venom. my friends have coperheads and they never shot venom

We handle these kinds of poisonous snakes in our church every service. Ratlers to. We dance holding them or place them on our heads
