@judoisoww Yes well after working with an expert at Snakes Downunder in Childers for some time to get those close up pics I will let you test the theory of the dry bite.
-
@Gotcha29 also in the case of the inland taipan, brown snake and tiger snake they often dry bite as a warning before biting with venom unlike vipers and black mambas which almost always use their venom in their bite. all of these snakes have lethal venom regardless of how they rank in toxicity which is why in my oppinnion the behaviour the snake can sometimes be more important than it's venom australian snakes put venom in our lymphatic system which is far slower than our blood stream.
-
@Gotcha29 to clarify i meant the inland taipan hasn't killed anyone for various reasons which i think were well stated and implicit in the video- docile nature and the fact they live in one of the least densely populated places on earth. also i would like to correct what i said in saying that they aren't dangerous; i meant to say they aren't that dangerous when put next to vipers as vipers are capable of injecting venom far deeper than ausie snakes and arguably are more adapted to kill us.

@judoisoww that is not entirely correct the east coast taipan has killed people. You are thinking of the inland taipan which is called the fierce snake. You should never say Australian snakes aren't dangerous because they certainly are. The eastern taipan, the eastern brown snake are extremely aggressive when confronted and that fact needs to be well known so people know what to do if they see one. Tiger snake and other brown snakes are also dangerous.
-
@4E047RHH You are allowed to kill snakes here in certain circumstances also Australian snakes may be venomous but they aren't dangerous there is less than 2 snake related deaths a year in the whole country also the taipan has never been responsible for a single death in recorded history so you have to take everything with a grain of salt

Stay out of their way and they stay out of yours. I live in a semi rural area and have almost stepped on hundreds of snakes, never once have I been bitten. I'm in THEIR domain so what right do I have to go killing them?

I'm Australian and grew up around Black Snakes and Browns ... but that bloke handling those snakes is bloody game I tell ya ... bugger that for a joke.
-
@Gotcha29 Yeah taxed on an unproven media hyped scam.
-
@Gotcha29 Yeah they are pretty bloody fast, my mum kept checking him because she would'nt beleive me when i said he wasnt biten, He was very very lucky, and so was i because i should'nt have moved at all. And it wasnt unusual to go into the backyard to find a dead snake he oviously killed, because i live about 300m away from the murray and a forrest.
-
@Gotcha29 No problem.
For the second snake you state to stand completely still and it won't see you, but can't it sense you're there with their tongue? I'm just curious.
Oh and why am I watching venomous snakes? lol

@YhwhKhai Ian Jenkins the guy handling the snakes in my vids shows people how snakes react to movement so I have to believe him because I've seen what happens, he stands completely still and the snake goes about it's business around him, when he moves, the snake reacts.
