The Death Adder was originally called a "Deaf" Adder because it seemed to the pioneers that the reptile would not react to approaching footsteps from people and horses. In the early days they did not know that the snake doesn't have hearing anyways and sometime later the name evolved to 'Death Adder"
Timothy Cook have you seen our other video called “are snakes deaf” we talk about the death adders name again in that as well as how snakes detect sound
Where I live we have a abundance of common Death Adders, as well as Red Bellies and Eastern Browns. Out of all three I fear the Death Adder the most because of it's stealth. When you walk up on a Black or Brown snake, even if you can't see them they know you are there and they will move and make their presence known. The Death Adder will keep perfectly still and rely on it's brilliant camouflage to protect it, which makes it infinitely more likely that it will be stepped on. This couple with a super fast strike speed, long fangs, and their toxicity all make this beautiful snake the one I fear the most.
"An abundance of Adders, Red Bellies and Browns?" Pray tell, where to you live? I'll be sure NOT to book passage, anytime soon. Good luck on you and yours staying healthy....blessings...
Death adder is an elapid that has many viperid qualities and the Russel's viper is a viperid that appears to be an elapid. Death adder is convergent evolution at its finest, taking the vipers behaviors and appearance.
Beautiful species of snake my friend :) Every time I see the Viper Boas I see such strong resemblances to the Death Adder especially the keeled scales and coloring !! Great information on these beauties :o)
Absolutely gorgeous snake, I love seeing all the different species of snakes they are definitely my favourite animal. It's amazing how many venomous snakes there are in Australia definitely completely different than where I live.
i believe we are the only country where venomous snake species outnumber non venomouse snakes. Largely because we are an island our snakes likely came from a handful of common ancestors and the venomous snakes managed to get here and diverge very successfully, mind you we still have 23 (or so) species of pythons, plus tree snakes, file snakes, blind snakes ect
They're actually a pretty chill species, almost all bites are from someone stepping on one not seeing it. I would never recommend it but I've seen people picking them up, mistaking it for a different animal and not getting bitten. Like most Australian snakes you REALLY have to try and get bitten unless you've accidentally stepped on one.
Saw a nice green death adder down near Araluen N.S.W which was a bit bigger than that one. He'd be gone now as all that country was burnt to ash in the 2019-20 bushfires.
A very interesting snake I hope I see first if I come anywhere near one. I noticed how your eyes where on. the snake as it came closer , you guys must have some stories and thanks for this one. Scott (Qld)
Love your work mate. I had a good old chuckle when the snake started looking at you. Your personality and passion remind me of Steve Irwin. What I like about you is, that you dont antagonise the animal to get people passionate about them. Might be harder but could you do a piece about wacky egg laying mammals?
Rowan Sheppard wow mate to be compared to Steve Irwin is the highest honor one can get I reckon I do my best never to antagonise an animal, although sometimes it seems that’s what UA-cam viewers want these days! I really want to do a video on monotremes just waiting for a local carer to have anything come in
Love these amazing snakes, had a friend find one in her garden, not knowing what it was she picked it up, but her husband very calmly told her to put it down, then the why, that's when she screamed. Lol. Must have been asleep.
Magnetic Island seems to have an inordinant number of these things. Plenty of encounters with them but fortunately I spotted them first. You need to keep a good look out for them, and they have excellent camoflage!
I’ve heard this, although of the three death adder bite victims I know two said they certianly didn’t feel this, and one said they “maybe” did I don’t plan on getting bitten to confirm or deny it 😂
I stumbled upon one of these 20 years ago in the bush, it was just quietly curled up and didn’t move, I could have easily stood on it if I wasn’t looking where I was going. I haven’t seen one since.
Hey mate, great videos - thank you. Have you, or can you, do one about how to easily identify different snakes? (Snake ID for dummies😂) With such variations in colouring in certain species, there must be some key features to look for in different snakes. Maybe things like eye size & placement? Or shape & size of scales on the head?
A few years back down on the south coast at a camp ground a bloke who had been drinking heavily got bitten by a death adder multiple times when He picked it up thinking it was a blue tongue lizard.
hes a good looking snake, but didn't want to be in the video - I noticed the cuts when he tried to disappear off the table etc. The bloke behing him talking about him is quite smart too! haha Great video mate. People just need to pay a little more respect to vens :)
An advice due to the quality of your videos you need more of them in 1080 HD. The death adder is fantastic because it seems to be the second evolutionary phase of luring preys. The first is snakes using their tails without any modifications or tiny modifications (wiggling like certain colubrids or juveniles of Bothrops asper what shows yellow tails), death adders shows a little more modified tail especially with a great mobility (of their final part of spinal column) and coloration and the final stage is one of my favorite snake the Pseudocerastes urarachnoides what shows a tail with lure constituted by scales expansions. The tail looks like really like a spider or a centipede to attract the birds. I heard that Iran place their mountains where she lives in a conservation project, good news. If you don't know this snake check on internet it is one of the most advanced snake of the world. All the best.
@@WickedWildlife Thanks. It seems that the death adder have modification in his skeleton to allow the mobility of the extremity of his tail. I remember when I have studied the locomotion of the snake body that their vertebrae don't allow an angulation of more that 15° lateraly due to the dorsal junction (pre and postzygapophysis) but if I remember in the Acantophis genera the skeleton is modified at the end. They have a lot of vertebrae and the dorsal process are shorter what allow a perfect wiggling movement what is not possible in other genera like colubrids and vipers (crotalinae) what do so. The only other example is the P. urarachnoides with have not so mobile tail but the tail is completely modified in his aspect because it is a true imitation of a spider or centipede. If you want to see these guys in action see this it is a fantastic film 'unfortunately in low res: ua-cam.com/video/BmW334PwwfA/v-deo.html we sees the luring technique. It is so incredible and efficient that a bird (what is a smart animal) returns two times and he was almost hit at the first. It is the principle of if a predator see a prey he is less alert of what he sees around and he is so focus on his meal that he don't see the trap very well. But what is fantastic is that the all aspect of the snake had been modified , because their scales are really keeled and have the aspect and colours of gypsum mountains. The herpetologist talk about the pinnacle of snake evolution. Here is another film in high resolution: ua-cam.com/video/Nk6r_WDZPso/v-deo.html . All the best. As you a snake and in general nature lover.
ReptileMountain.TV I've only got to work with urocoan rattlers And I used to describe them to other Australian keepers as a heat seeking death adder haha This snake is also in the video I've just (like five mins ago) published
Back in the 1970's, Johnny (tractor) Ferguson, the current Mayor of Thargomindah Queensland, killed a death Adder measuring 9' 3 1/2". At the time, the longest one recorded.
@@WickedWildlife I know it to be true because my Uncle, Glenn Thomson, was the publican of Nocundra Hotel back in the 70's and he had one in a jar of metho behind the bar. I'd seen it many times, it measured 3' 9". He phoned, I think he said the Queensland University, or someone like that, it was too long ago to remember, and reported his find. They informed him that Tractor Ferguson had killed one in a similar area just recently. The next time my uncle saw Tractor, he asked him about his find and he confirmed that the one he killed was 3' 9 1/2". If you phoned Tractor, The mayor of Thargomindah, I'm sure he'd confirm it and may still have the snake. He would definitely remember the one my uncle had behind the bar. If he does still have the snake he killed, it would be interesting to have it officially recorded.
@@charliebrown4624 no worries! That makes a lot more sence! Would be a very impressive added for sure! I’m sorry, as you can imagine I get a lot of “big fish” stories so wouldn’t be surprised if people pull out stories of 9 ft adders 😂
Well I can't say I actually like them, but I do respect them. I'm not one of these people that pretend something is cute and adorable, when they are not. As long as I don't accidentally step to closely or step on one, then I have no issues with Death Adders. I just returned from a remote region in Northern NSW where there are plenty of Death Adders. So I thought I would do a bit of research. Thanks for your informative videos.
Awesome video mate. Im going to start my own UA-cam channel around Christmas about Aussie wildlife and i would love to feature the pilbra deathadder. Any tips on finding them?
All Things Wildlife thanks mate :) I've never actually been to WA but Brian Bush would be the man to contact No one knows western Australian reptiles better
Wicked Wildlife noted. I will ask him about pilbra deathadders. Just came across your channel today and i love your content and I instently hit the subscribe button. Keep up the great work. Any tips on wildlife presentation/filmmaking.
All Things Wildlife glad you like the channel mate! I've only just started myself and arnt great at editing or anything The advice I can give is just start, and film everything you can haha. Easier to film something and throw it out then to go "bugger I wish I'd done a video on that"
Wicked Wildlife yeah lol. Videos will be uploaded around Christmas and my first video will be about the perentie. They will be uploaded once a week. Filmed on the weekends and edited through out the week.
All Things Wildlife good luck mate I look forward to seeing your videos I wish I could get out bush more, but with so many animals I don't get away much which is why most of the animals in my videos are captive
There are two types of people: 1) People telling you how fast a snake can bite and compare that number with the time it takes a human to blink 2) People telling you how fast a snake can bite, compare that number to to a human blink while being face to face with it XD
Just discovered your channel. I must say that your snakes appear to be In flawless condition. Great to see someone who obviously cares a great deal about their welfare. Venomous snakes in particular get such a bad rap in the media and pop culture. People need to be better informed about all the good they do in controlling vermin and some invasive species.
Thanks! I have a pretty keen interest in the venomous snakes in particular but I also borrow some snakes to use in videos since I can’t keep everything at once!
It keeps taking me off-guard how they keep referring to Death Adders as male. I guess it's probably because the Death Adder in my screenplay is female.
I notice that, unlike most snakes, you do not actually handle this one. I appreciate that you need to know what you are doing when handling dangerous snakes, but of course you can handle most snakes. Is there any reason, other than, ''just how we filmed it'', that you don't handle this one?
Purlee100 sure mate Basicly the death adder is able to strike back to any part of its own body faster then any human reaction, so it’s never really safe to hook and tail them like you see me do with other snakes
I like snakes, but they worry me. They're usually pretty peaceful, but when they get narky they're a problem. I've had a few in my bush hut. They were only pigging out on the mice, but they didn't really make great neighbours! Getting them to leave was a bit of a chore, and just a little dangerous. I still like the little guys even if they freak me out some.
Tame as these serpents may be, you did inform us of the adder's speed in striking its victim. Yet, the adder (and brown snakes etc) edge their way perilously to your chest and neck on different youtube programs. Is it prudent to allow them such close quarters to your person?

“You see this snake hear it can bite you in twice the time it takes you to blink lemme got real close”
dehubb200
Half the time it takes you to blink, it bites you twice in one blink.
It’s just perspective. The snake is closer to the camera and the rock its on is hiding how far away he actually is
I had to laugh about this guy.😂😂Look how close he is to ‘ the death adder’. Knowing how fast this snake strikes he films close to it.😂😂
Death adder is an elapid that has many viperid qualities and the Russel's viper is a viperid that appears to be an elapid. Death adder is convergent evolution at its finest, taking the vipers behaviors and appearance.
I, myself, was backing away in my chair while Adder was moving closer and closer to his face. Very uncomfy!

*speaks loudly with it 20cm from his face*
Snakes are deaf mate. They can't hear humans talk. They sense with vibrations

I would never recommend it but I've seen people picking them up, mistaking it for a different animal and not getting bitten. Like most Australian snakes you REALLY have to try and get bitten unless you've accidentally stepped on one.
One of my favourite snakes (although I say that about most snakes). As Australians, we are very lucky to have such an array of fauna.
But we also have a terrible track record when it comes to native species conservation
great video! death adders are truly wicked!
Coop's Reptiles yeah I certianly love them! This one belongs to a friend of mine
Working in the Pilbara, we came across many of these little buggers sitting on the door step of our accommodation regularly

Is adder just another term for viper because I hear gaboon vipers be called adders
