Whatever you're paid for that type of work, it's not enough.

Once the snakes have their venom extracted, does that mean they're harmless for a certain amount of time before they can create more venom?

Not really about the same and counts on each individual animals attitude.

i would think these are much quicker than mambas

That is one twitchy snake and have hear other herpatologists remark that the Papuan is difficult to handle. I would like to know why you concider in your opinion. The Lancehead to be more difficult to deal with or say extract venom from ?.

@2ndRCHAret Lanceheads are very accurate strikers and are very quick. The dificulty with taipans and mambas is that they are very fast, but once you have them they are not that strong. Lanceheads and other large snakes are very strong and are harder to hold on to.

they should have a video of them milking a inland taipan

@theopat1999 Have extracted from them in the past but do not have video of the extraction. We do have video of our coastal taipans. Papuan are much harder to work with then inlands. The most dangerous snake to extract from is a large Lancehead (Bothrops ssp) in my opinion.
