I several PNG Taipans in the 90's. The female was surprisingly docile. The male was one of the most aggressive elapids I have owned. Also, a very brightly marked juvenile.
If I were you i'd stick him in a glass sliding container like the green mamba, because he's a mega taipan, and he could easily push open that lid if you dont put it on well.
Why feed during shedding! that is not proper snake keeping! and u probably have to dry habitat for New guinney tropical/sub tropical speices, otherwise skin would be of easily, nice video though!
@superawsomething11 the inland taipan is the first most venomouse snake in the world, its also only in Australia so this cannot be that snake, also the inland taipan is a more borwn color i think
@MegaLaidback It's because they're really interesting and beautiful animals. Part of it is the challenge. Maybe for some it is a thrillseeking thing, or showing off (a lot of people who get mega-pythons as pets are show-offs), but viperkeeper does not strike me as that sort. He's a real pro.
Amazing snakes man.Love when new videos by you come out gives me the chills as to what will happen in this video.You should do a feeding video or Feeding day? Any Snakes such as Colubrid,Boa,Ball Python etc?.Or you should do a video of all your HOTS. :D Thumbs up man.
@viperkeeper He was walking it into his mouth, wasn't he? I didn't know elapids did that.
Do you know if the name of the snake is related to the term used for really rich guys in Hong Kong?
You mentioned being dead if you got bitten...I'd think if you were bitten by a taipan they could put you on a respirator until they could get some Aussie antivenom.
Were you able to get him vet treatment for the cyst? That looked pretty awful.
@DaboiaRusselli Taipan venom composition is NOT just pre & post synaptic neurotoxins but a whole host of other nasty fractions.
Myotoxins
Hemolytic & Hemorragins
Keeping you on a respirator while bleed out of every pore & into every space within your body, is not helped by being kept on a respirator.
You need A/V quickly or your done. CSL Taipan or Polyvalent does not work very well on O.canni, this is why David Williams pushed to manufacture a species specific PNG Taipan Monovalent.
so you feed it dead mice or was it just unconscious? I had a rattle snake we caught up in the mountains of San Jose CA and it would only eat live mice. something about the way the body heat signature. It wasn't interested in anything else.
Also, I couldn't agree more about people being the greater threat. However, we r the top of the food chain & as a result we have law & order. We make laws 2 protect people first, animals 2nd. Again, I will admit I watch your videos, & find them educational. However, I wished u lived in Asia somewhere, not in the US. I don't feel the risk/reward is worth it- bringing such potentially dangerous creatures into N. America. I guess we will see what the political will is on the subject.
While I appreciate the education that can be found in your video's; there is no way snakes that are not indigenous to North America should be allowed to own as "pets" in North America. At least not potentially dangerous ones. It is an unnecessary risk to the general public. Not to say you would ever irresponsibly release a snake, many people do release them after they realize they don't want a snake for a "pet." Some states have banned this, I hope the rest follow suit ASAP.
@chadley6916 People are a far greater therat to North America and it's wild life than any non-native species. BTW...Who died and made you GOD? Nobody including the govenment should be involved with what I have for a "pet'
I'm not acting as GOD. It is just that society has laws to protect it's people. That's like saying nobody should b allowed 2 tell u 2 obey the speed limit. If u had little kids that played in your yard, & your neighbor had a lion as a pet, maybe u would see things differently. What if there was fire @ ur house/storage facility; I would not want 2b a fireman coming 2 your house. Also, what if you got bit, & a snake escaped? How would u feel if an innocent person then got bit?
@chadley6916 Where do you see a "pet"? I see a research facility that harnesses chemical from animals (with no harm to the animal). These animals are not ball pythons, They are not wrapped around someones arm or hand, These animals have a purpose to help find cures for diseases and making anti-venom.
Viperkeepers snakes are in no way "pets". They are zoological specimens and for all intensive purposes, wild animals and behave as such. However viperkeeper has been doing this for a very long time and his expertise is second to none and he is very responsible as to how he keeps his animals. His animals are in no way a threat to the general public and If escaped they would not survive long outside of their natural habitat.
@chadley6916 Viper keeper,as I,and other hot keepers I know,do not keep these kind of animals as "pets" and as responsible keepers,,all measers are taken to keep an escape into the generl public are used and strictly followed and we police our own,when we know of an irresponsible people keeping them,were the first to come down hard on them.Also,some of the only sucessful breeding of rare species is done by private keepers who practice good hubandry skills,AND, if you dont have the experence,DONT
@chadley6916 so, other non-native animals, such as, oh idk, large housecats or dogs, should be banned? even if a tiapan got loose in the N america woods, what are the odds of a pair getting loose and breeding? honestly, I think it is people like you who get the government to try to make ridiculous laws to further hinder our right as citizens to live how we want to live.
Papua New Guinea represent!!!! this Taipan spieces is foun in my homeland!!! have massive respect 4 the snake!! as I come across a few in my time...beautifull creatures they are!
Its ok mate. I understand the Taipan Better than most people. I'm Australian. I understand the difference between the inland, coastal and Papuan (Black) Taipan. Growing up in the country, and living here, your taught from an early age that if you go into the bush (like most of us do), you really have to be on your toes. Especially in hot weather. Nothing a good compression bandage and violently ill rush to the hospital cant fix!!!!!!!!
Certainly is a large Taipan ...... That snake definitely has it's fangs, it looks like it's shedding skin as all snakes do & like the owner says they are always fed dead mice or rats because it's safer for snake & owner & if you can't work out why you're thick as 2 short planks. As he said it also appeases the rabid animal activists. It doesn't look anything like an Australian Inland Taipan aka Fierce Snake.
beautiful snake, but as far as i know, it's considered bad practice to feed venomous snakes with dead prey.
now, i own a non-venomous boa constrictor and i feed it prekilled (except once) to avoid suffering for the mice and injuries for the snake
a few venomous snake keepers I know told me that the venom does some of the digesting (kinda like with spiders) and if the prey is dead already, the venom can't spread inside the body and begin dissolving it effectively
i am in awe, these creatures take my breath away, at least the snakes in captivity are safe from assholes that kill them for no reason and just because they come across one, they were put on this earth for a reason not for killing practice
some people are stupid look at steve irwin dumbass you will be bitten someday.but they say ignorance is bliss. i dont feel sorry for stupid people you are asking to get your ass bitten and most dumb people are smarter than you.what if your damned snakes escape into the neighborhood to bite children but i guess youll be able to handle his speed when his venom is coursing through your veins. good luck dumbass adam learned quickly about snakes you shouldnt play with things that are cursed by god.
@loweonej The tell-tail sign that's it's another person from the shallow end of the gene pool is how they form their sentence. This "dumb-ass" in no exception. "Cursed by God" is a novel tact. Snakes being far more sucessful a species than humans will ever be, I'll say they've done quite well for being cursed. Humans are the cursed species on the planet, as they exploit the environment at the expense of the other species.
@loweonej Implying Steve Irwin was stupid says much about your own intelligence. If you don't have any thing constructive to say shut your mouth goof.
@loweonej WOW cursed by god. That is deep. this shows me 1 you have the IQ of around 60 and 2 you believe the world is only 6000 years old. learn what you are talking about and Listen to the experts. Go suck on a MICROPHALLUS
@loweonej For someone who's real god like, you have quite a foul mouth. For a god who forgives all, he sure has a hard time with snakes. So either you don't know what you're talking about, or your god's a hypocritical jack ass.
@loweonej Oh ya, god said snakes had to crawl on their bellies, huh? He showed them. As Ricky Gervais said, I bet they wish they could fly like normal. Ass.
@loweonej what you think in the wild and the regions these snakes come from dont have people there ? someone goes round making a fence to keep them out . from what you have writen you clearly are the stupid one .
@loweonej God created good, evil, temptation and sin. Even the devil is an angel of god. God does not curse god forgives, humans curse themselves with sin. I don't feel sorry for stupid people who pass ignorant judgement. Let me also throw out that without people who keep these animals anti-venom would have never been developed stupid cumbucket.
@loweonej Dear waste of time, if you don't like the content stay off the channel. Those of us who regularly watch VK videos (in spite of the poor quality of your writing) are completely and painfully aware that you are not a fan. I too am cursed by God, because I have to suffer through your posts. Do us both a favor and in the words of Tom Petty, "Don't come around here no more!" No one wants to read your verbal barf!
@loweonej Well with you saying that, I will say I hope you get cancer. Or go on vacation to another country and get bit by a venomous snake. Then you will see it in a different way. But sense you want to ignorant. I wish only the worst on you to see how it helps and how you are part of the reason society is falling off the intelligence ladder. Good day.
@loweonej no one, but no one should be deciding what this educated sir should keep or not for a pet if he meets the requirements to keep them. your backyard dog would more probably go after kids and kill them, snakes don't attack unprovoked. if people decide to do drogs, to commit suicide, it's their choice, this is just like it, people like us admit the risk. but like you said, ignorance is bliss, and you are blessed by ignorance in this subject, cheers. good video btw, i wouldn't keep one :)
@loweonej your a total dick head. this bloke clearly knows what he is doing otherwise he wouldnt be keeping a wide variety of venomous snakes would he? and steve irwin you stupid disrespectful cunt died from a stingrays barb through his heart and it was a complete accident. no-one is ever stabbed in the heart by a stingray unless they are very very unlucky. so before you go giving shit to someone that actually knows what theyre doing think about it first you stupid fuck.
@lhoso OMG! I'm now aware you're a moron! Who knew!
1) None of my animals as mistreated by being subjected to "venomoiding" It's venom apparatus is completely intact and functional. Don't believe me, come over and stick your arm in it's cage.
2) Of course it being fed F/T mice, safer for me and the Taipan. Also humane for the mice and it keeps the animal activists at bay.
3) Please don't post again unless you're successful in extracting your head from your rectum.
@Technebrous On course is not in the best of health. I just arrived from Indonesia. Next time I get some in you can come over an let it out of the plastic box, I'll just wait outside for the screaming to stop.
@viperkeeper hahahha i mean they shouldnt be in captivity, with the proper training i will be more than glad to take out that snake for sure... those are killing loves you know? but i love the way you treat snakes though...
why do you import and deadly snake into a habitat where none of his kind are nor are wanted.....its not right........the laws should be more stringent....no animals from other countries.......look at the snake head fish infestation....and then all the pythons n such dumped in the florida swamps....it should be outlawed
I image that should include dogs, cats, hamsters most spices of rabits, most fish and white people (only the indians are native, rest are an imported pestilence) ???
Yes, this is the Papua New Guinea Taipan. Very Different from the Inland Taipan. Not quite as venomous, however the PNG taipan is much more aggressive and is a significant killer in the region making the PNG taipan more of a threat than the Inland Taipan or Fierce Snake. It is argued that the PNGT is just as venomous as Inland T.
OOps thought this was a new vid... 2007!!!! crikey, thought i'd watched them all... Excellent vid of a snake i haven't seen very much of in video... If any!
I stayed wondering how it doesn't bite its own tong while swallowing the rat.
It is interesting too to note it becames so helpless while eating. it is really a special moment when even a snake keeps 'uncovered' and suscetible to anything else attack.
Wow, I don't remember watching this. What a monster! May I ask you about the cyst?
I had cysts on an individual before, I removed them and noticed the thing I was taking out was a little sack with an unusual hard piece of stringy tissue like object that seemed to be fossilized. I had removed 7 of them, few months later the snake died and days afterwards the others in the species died too.
@viperkeeper I get what you´re saying. It´s just that I regard all of these snakes highly venomous, so I don´t understand the difference in your behaviour when treating a, let´s say a Cobra, and this snake. I mean, both could kill a man within minutes. This is just a question, I don´t mean to be arrogant, provocative or anything else. Cheers.
@sanremo2009 Agreed, they could both kill someone in mere minutes, however, the Cobra is far-less likely because of it generally clumsy attack method. There are not many things quicker and more capable of killing on the planet than a Taipan.
@viperkeeper hmm ok, the cobra was a bad example. bud consider the kingbrown or the mambas. I´ve seen you pretty relaxed when treatin them, as far as one can be relaxed treatin mambas. I mean, I remember when you put one of the mambas on the stick, doing mamba cam etc.
@sanremo2009 Taipans are 'reactionary' in nature. Mambas are 'caculating' they think about the situation and act accordingly. That's why I can do 'Mamba on a stick'. My mate David Williams say's it the best," Taipans don't start fights, they end them."
That is one MEEEAAAAAN motherfucker. I've been to the Australian Zoo in Sydney & saw one taipan they had on display and it was the meanest little bastard I've ever seen aside from a copperhead or other American "moccasin" snake. But then again, I live in Tennessee so they're a bit more commonplace than taips, he-he.
I had three taipans in one enclosure at one stage. Went away and asked a mate to feed them for me. While I was away I receive and email saying that 5 of the taips were ganging up on the larger one.
When I got back I sat up one night to watch what was happening.
End result. the five smaller ones ate the Largest one (only 1m long)
@nootaramus Seriously? Did you just call Viperkeeper ugly with a pockmarked face? If you don't like the vids, quit watching. There is no reason to call ugly names and attack his character. Be nice and don't say anything if you can't say anything positive.
And talking about a "gasoline bath" in regards to his beautiful snakes is just sick. You really don't need to be posting here.
I several PNG Taipans in the 90's. The female was surprisingly docile. The male was one of the most aggressive elapids I have owned. Also, a very brightly marked juvenile.

@loweonej no one, but no one should be deciding what this educated sir should keep or not for a pet if he meets the requirements to keep them. your backyard dog would more probably go after kids and kill them, snakes don't attack unprovoked. if people decide to do drogs, to commit suicide, it's their choice, this is just like it, people like us admit the risk. but like you said, ignorance is bliss, and you are blessed by ignorance in this subject, cheers. good video btw, i wouldn't keep one :)

@loweonej your a total dick head. this bloke clearly knows what he is doing otherwise he wouldnt be keeping a wide variety of venomous snakes would he? and steve irwin you stupid disrespectful cunt died from a stingrays barb through his heart and it was a complete accident. no-one is ever stabbed in the heart by a stingray unless they are very very unlucky. so before you go giving shit to someone that actually knows what theyre doing think about it first you stupid fuck.

Omg something is realli not right in this video.
1.) I think its fangs have been removed and
2.) its being fed dead mice!
And im aware that this is one of the most deadliest venomous snake in the world!
lhoso 1 year ago
@lhoso OMG! I'm now aware you're a moron! Who knew!
1) None of my animals as mistreated by being subjected to "venomoiding" It's venom apparatus is completely intact and functional. Don't believe me, come over and stick your arm in it's cage.
2) Of course it being fed F/T mice, safer for me and the Taipan. Also humane for the mice and it keeps the animal activists at bay.
3) Please don't post again unless you're successful in extracting your head from your rectum.

viperkeeper 1 year ago
Yes, this is the Papua New Guinea Taipan. Very Different from the Inland Taipan. Not quite as venomous, however the PNG taipan is much more aggressive and is a significant killer in the region making the PNG taipan more of a threat than the Inland Taipan or Fierce Snake. It is argued that the PNGT is just as venomous as Inland T.

I stayed wondering how it doesn't bite its own tong while swallowing the rat.
It is interesting too to note it becames so helpless while eating. it is really a special moment when even a snake keeps 'uncovered' and suscetible to anything else attack.

Wow, I don't remember watching this. What a monster! May I ask you about the cyst?
I had cysts on an individual before, I removed them and noticed the thing I was taking out was a little sack with an unusual hard piece of stringy tissue like object that seemed to be fossilized. I had removed 7 of them, few months later the snake died and days afterwards the others in the species died too.
Any idea as to what the parasites name is??

@sanremo2009 That's a WC 7 ft plus Taipan. Could kill 20 + in quick succession. I would not like to be fisrt in line.
viperkeeper 1 year ago
@viperkeeper I get what you´re saying. It´s just that I regard all of these snakes highly venomous, so I don´t understand the difference in your behaviour when treating a, let´s say a Cobra, and this snake. I mean, both could kill a man within minutes. This is just a question, I don´t mean to be arrogant, provocative or anything else. Cheers.
sanremo2009 1 year ago
@sanremo2009 Agreed, they could both kill someone in mere minutes, however, the Cobra is far-less likely because of it generally clumsy attack method. There are not many things quicker and more capable of killing on the planet than a Taipan.
viperkeeper 1 year ago
@viperkeeper hmm ok, the cobra was a bad example. bud consider the kingbrown or the mambas. I´ve seen you pretty relaxed when treatin them, as far as one can be relaxed treatin mambas. I mean, I remember when you put one of the mambas on the stick, doing mamba cam etc.
sanremo2009 1 year ago
@sanremo2009 Taipans are 'reactionary' in nature. Mambas are 'caculating' they think about the situation and act accordingly. That's why I can do 'Mamba on a stick'. My mate David Williams say's it the best," Taipans don't start fights, they end them."

That is one MEEEAAAAAN motherfucker. I've been to the Australian Zoo in Sydney & saw one taipan they had on display and it was the meanest little bastard I've ever seen aside from a copperhead or other American "moccasin" snake. But then again, I live in Tennessee so they're a bit more commonplace than taips, he-he.

I had three taipans in one enclosure at one stage. Went away and asked a mate to feed them for me. While I was away I receive and email saying that 5 of the taips were ganging up on the larger one.
When I got back I sat up one night to watch what was happening.
End result. the five smaller ones ate the Largest one (only 1m long)

And talking about a "gasoline bath" in regards to his beautiful snakes is just sick. You really don't need to be posting here.
