Meet the Snake with America’s DEADLIEST Venom
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- You probably knew rattlesnakes were dangerous, but out of 32 species in the US, the tiger rattlesnake stands out as the most venomous rattlesnake of them all. To find out if the tiger rattlesnake is the snake bite to worry about, I'm heading out in search of one of North America's most deadly reptiles!

Here at MyWildBackyard we investigate the secrets of the natural world- secrets that can be hidden in our very own backyards! I want to share the incredible world of insects, spiders and other wildlife with you and inspire you to explore your curiosity. Get out there, and find your adventure!
For those who read the description- we've updated the channel! I'm working on adding more features to videos to better expand our conversations about the secrets we find in the natural world! Introducing the Creature Tier System! There are four rankings:
1. Staple - These are the lowest tier creatures. They are the most common species in a given habitat, and while they're not boring, they're really only exciting when you're exploring a new habitat and you haven't seen them before. Not something to write home about.
2. Neat - These are a step up from Staple. They don't make your entire day, but they are worth taking a closer look at when found. Definitely can be exciting to have a productive day finding many Neat species.
3. Wild - These are exciting to find. Whether they have interesting defensive features that offer a nice challenge in the field, are particularly cool looking, or maybe a little bit rare, Wild species aren't necessarily the MOST memorable of encounters, but they definitely make your day when you see them. An adventure featuring many Wild species will truly be memorable.
4. Gem - These are special. Usually involving extremely interesting biology and significant rarity, Gem species are animals that you really do not see every day. These species can make your whole adventure, and will be very memorable.

What other snakes should we go after?
Eastern diamond backs
Western diamond back
@@ryansarachnids4778 I’ve been looking! No luck yet
@@Markus42-81 check out my Texas vids! Got a HUGE one in a video I put out back in January!
@@MyWildBackyard sounds like a skill issue if you ask me 🤣
"He is not happy-" I mean, he's nocturnal and being bothered. I too rattle and hiss at anyone bothering me after sundown. xD
What you do in your bedroom is your business
I mean truly they respond that way out of suspicion and fear, tho I feel you haha
True.
@@PetraKanntell that to all the people with "alternative lifestyles" who seem to think it's supposed to be part of their personality.
Your fearlessness in the face of these animals is so inspiring, you’ve done wonders in helping me to not feel as much fear around venomous animals like snakes and spiders, your videos are amazing and it’s always so fascinating seeing all the wonderful animals that I’ve never even heard of!! Keep up the great work man ❤️
Thanks so much! I’ll keep them coming for ya
I found a bright pink tiger rattler in the Sonoran near Sells on the Tohono reservation.
Man, I learn so much from your videos, Spencer. You've got an exceptional talent at explaining things with crystal clarity in layman terms, in a really affable way, without making us viewers feel like dumbos! Seriously man, you're ace! I wish you every success. I can't think of another UA-camr that deserves it more. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Oh, and by the way, your camera work and production just gets better and better too. Keep up the stellar work, my friend! 👍
Thanks so much! It really means a lot, I do try my best. Truth be told, I wasn’t always the best student in school because I found it boring sifting though all the technical wording. With these videos I do my best to make it more interesting, which in turn makes it easier to understand without making it seem like I’m dumbing it down. Thanks so much for the feedback, this really helps a ton
@@MyWildBackyardI enjoy your videos so much that I wish they were longer. Maybe someday……..😄💙🐬🐊🐍🫶🏼
i thought the mojave was the most besides the coral????????????????@@MyWildBackyard
AGREE !!!
Poking my head up out of an editing frenzy to watch another MWB vid. Another Spencer classic. Really enjoyed hanging out with everyone, glad the Tiger "spot" paid off. Boots on the ground, lots of them, and the snakes turned up.
Love the patern on that guy. His eyes looked different than most rattlesnakes. Almost calming. This was almost in my backyard, yet I've never heard of this snake. Thanks Spencer!
They’re super awesome. My first exposure to them was actually a Steve Irwin documentary when we went looking for sidewinders in the desert! Highly recommend.
Awesome video Spencer, love that you also featured the Mojave! The tiger is so beautiful, they are truly perfectly adapted for the desert microhabitats where they thrive.
Why does it seem like UA-cam doesn’t want you to get bigger? Why are you not at 1million subscribers? Stay golden Spencer! I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. You are the ABSOLUTE MOST UNDERRATED CHANNEL ON HERE!
Thank you so much! UA-cam has been quite weird this year in terms of recommending/not recommending videos to people who are interested in them. I think there’s a little bit of decline in viewership around the adventure style wildlife stuff but I’ll keep it up either way!
I thought the Mohave Green rattlesnake was one to worry about. Very aggressive and both neurotoxin and hemotoxin. No?
me too and the coral
Mojave green rattlesnake LD 50 0.18mgkg sc hemotoxic and neurotoxic venom is the most toxic venomous rattlesnake more toxic than the Tiger rattlesnake LD 50 0.21 mgkg sc hemotoxic and myotoxic venom .
Defensive not aggressive, but yes Mojave green is definitely worse to get bit by the tiger just has a more potent, venom and much smaller yield
Ir depends on the population. Some populations have both hemotoxin and neurotoxin. Others just have the hemotoxin.
Very Pretty Snake Spencer, Thank you for the video. I don't think I had ever even heard of the Tiger Rattler before this video. Thank you for Educating us, enjoyed watching as always. Have a Happy Thanksgiving buddy.
Happy thanksgiving to you as well! Hope you have a nice relaxing one
That was a beautiful snake . Great video not a lot of videos about this type of snake thank you
Excellent video Spencer. I really liked learning about the venom of this baby snake and how it has to be more potent to kill the prey faster. No one has ever taught that in all of the videos I have watched. Longer videos would be awesome! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 buddy! 😄💙🐬🐊🐍🫶🏼
Happy thanksgiving!
Mojave Green Rattlesnake bit a border agent and required 9 doses of anti venom having become more toxic.
The vet said that if it were a diamond back rattlesnake that bite Lovey (the horse), she wasn't too worried. But if it has been a Mojave, we may find the horse down in the morning. Next morning I looked out my window to see my other neighbor standing over a downed horse. We tried all day in 120 degree heat (with no shade) to get the horse on her feet. We were unsuccessful and had to call the vet back to euthenize the horse. Very scary experience.
I caught two of those in Tucson a long time ago. Very cool snakes.
Right venom yield is more important than toxicity. Which why you don't want to be bitten by a King Cobra. Venom is not that toxic compared to other elapid like snakes but it will inject up to an ounce of venom which means you're dead from the amount not the toxicity. Neat finds!🐍🐍🐍
It's been fun to see another snake video from you! You've provided us with yet another great video, Spencer. Thank you! I look forward to your videos every Saturday. Thank you for enlightening me about spiders to the point where I don't kill them on sight when spotted in my house. I now let all of them just go on their own way, and I'm thankful to them for their role in helping the house remain pest-free. Again, thank you!
A great tip that could help your channel is UA-cam shorts,they can attracts people to your channel if you follow the steps correctly
You start it off with something strong to keep the audience hooked and loop the video so the viewers don’t predict when the video Is gonna end
A Mojave rattlesnake killed my neighbor's horse (years ago). That is another rattlesnake that I would not want a bite from!
Oof yeah never knew they could take anything that big down, but definitely a bad bite! Wanted to actually use the title for this video with a Mojave, but couldn’t find any big enough adults
That boa eating the iguana on the wildlife brothers channel was insane. I love how all you guys share your footage and knowledge with each other.
They got some insane shots! Always a good time working with them, they’re great guys
Living here in Southeast GA.. and we have a lot of Pygmy Rattlesnake.. and its said that they have a really potent venom.. but with such a small venom yield, they are not really dangerous to most people.
The Eastern Diamondback is the deadliest snake in North America, because of the venom yielded.
Once again you bring something I've never heard of. This is awesome!!
Do you have a script planned for your videos before you go out in the field, or are you able to remember all of this info and present it so well on the fly?
With a lot of animals i study them pretty hard if I think there’s a chance we’ll find them. That, combined with surrounding myself with experts smarter than I am, and just being an all around nerd, the info becomes second nature 😂
I do script the video in post-production to make the story flow better
I was thinking the Mojave Rattlesnake was... different type of venom maybe?
Got to get it out of my system; you have a great channel and I wish I lived somewhere where I could experience the same creatures close up, but not too close OFC.
Keep up the good work!
Actually heard the coral snake is no joke as well, supposedly kend to the cobra family
Coral snakes elapid family of snakes with neurotoxins and front fixed fangs just like all other elapids Cobras, Mambas,Taipans and Kraits.
I always enjoy your vids Spencer 😊 another great job 😁
Thanks so much!
Hey Spencer, I was wondering if you could find out about the cardinal spider because I’m on the hunt for it,but I’m in the UK and idk if the cardinal spider is in the US
We have a jumping spider called the cardinal spider here, it’s one of the red backed jumping spiders, could that be what you mean?
@@MyWildBackyard its scientific name is the Tegenaria parietina and it can grow up to 12cm with quite long thin legs,thanks for replying btw,enjoy your day!
@@MauTheMau oh gotcha! One of the house spiders then. Tegenaria and Eratigena are pretty hard to find by me, but they’re big on my list to find one day!
@@MyWildBackyard thanks 🙏 and If you have trouble finding that one it’s ok, a second recommendation would be the banded garden spider I find it really interesting
Another great content brotha ❤
Thank you!
I never heard of a tiger snake until now. Was it a recent discovery? I thought the Mojave was the most potent rattler.
What does a distressed spider look/act like? I know Spencer has shown us a bunch of times, but I still can't wrap my mind around it.
Erratic, frantic movements, some species even have threat displays.
My brother is no stranger to snakes. He was drunk, and camping. I think it was a Mojave Green. He caught it. It got his thumb with a fang. It took over a week, and 6 vials of antivenin to save his thumb.
Ouch. Yeah those guys are no joke
Another awesome video, Spencer! All of these Sonoran animals have been so cool! Loved the part where you got "chased" by the snake 😂 thanks for explaining why the snake moved towards you instead of just making the joke and moving on. I know they don't really chase, but it's still good to learn about the reasons behind their behaviors 🙂
Thanks so much! I do love to lighten the mood a bit when these sorts of things happen in presentations, but you’re right- it’s so important to show what’s actually going on! Loved showing off all the creatures from the Sonoran desert, but soon we’re goin to the pine flatwoods of Florida as well! (Gonna be hybrid Florida and Arizona for the rest of the year, probably even into February or March depending on how my video lineup evolves)
Timbers would be another one you don't wanna get bit by (especially if it's around the Virginia area)
Oh yeah that’s a gnarly one. I’m working on a video breaking down the most venomous snakes in the US real soon, timbers definitely make that list
@@MyWildBackyard luckily timbers can be pretty chill! Also look into batwing rattlesnakes lol!
Also please add something about the national snake bite support please!
OHhh I love that little Mohave rattler ! I do have a fascination with snakes ..... a 'cautious' fascination though. I Have seen rattlers, here in the NY mountains, that a friend had caught and sold for medical purposes. We've got lots of huge black snakes and some milk snakes.... some have found their way into our home. (surprise surprise!). Glad to
learn more about these super interesting wildlife forest animals. Thanks for all the info!
Mojave Green has venom comparable to many elapids such as Black Mambas and King Cobras much more potent than a Tiger Rattlesnake. Majority of experts consider the Tiger Rattlesnake to be second most toxic (Mojave Green being first).
I can totally understand snakes biting us, I wouldn't want a huge monkey the size of a skyscraper compared to me, picking me up and just messing with me, I'd be like, "it's gonna eat me!!!!" And I'd bite the heck out of ya. So I can understand snakes. I still don't get why ppl are so afraid of any snake though, I have always thought they were the coolest animals. They've always been my favs. Dinosaurs are my main interest, but when it comes to animals alive today, it's snakes.
Egyptian Cobra and Gaboon Vipers are really fascinating but both are really deadly. The Egyptian Cobra is what killed Cleopatra. Probably wouldn't want to free-handle them, but maybe examine them from a distance.
So he went from his home state of North Carolina, where I live now, to my home state of Arizona?
I probably could have saved him a trip and told him what he wanted to know. Lol.
are you sure it`s the most toxic in the world,taipans,browns,krates cobra and the mambas are seriously deadly,but the banded or green or olive sea snake i have read pound for pound is the most deadly,theres no hope if one tags you,many many recorded deaths in the south seas each year,if your lucky you get a dry bite....great vid thanx,loved your coral snake vid too,safe hunting my friend
I read that the Mojave Green Rattlesnake is the most venomous rattlesnake
I appreciate your view. However…just to be clear……fuck that. Lol
Because you messed with him, he is going to bite the next person he comes across before he is noticed.
These Mojaves or tiger rattlers have shown up with venom containing myotoxin along with the blood and nerve toxin, so your heart starts to lose its ability to maintain your electric rhythmic beats.
What are the ethics of handling a snake that you acknowledge is feeling very unhappy and distressed?
I almost stepped on a rattle snake once but I heard the rattling and walked away from it casually. I wasn't bitten
Most venomous rattlesnake is the Mojave green 10 times more deadlier than a diamondback
Did any one else notice 6:45 min in the vedio when they fine the first little tiger rattle snake. There's a frog about 2ft above the snake.
Great one Spence, beautiful snake!
Knew a vid was coming soon, thanks for great Saturday night cap ✊🏻
🫡
What was the other guy I'm talking about You pay nine ninetynine and this is what you get ?
So the first tiger rattlesnake was rabid? I didn't think snakes could get rabies?
Most say the mohave rattle snake is the most venomous. I THINK you got it wrong
Those Yucatans are pretty hot too, and they're also larger than the Tiger or the Mojave.
Great finds. I love this channel
When I was young; me and my family would go to this house my grandparents owned during the summer. Me and my sibling would actually go and look for reptiles there. There was this reptile called “the slow worm” or in my language “kopparödla”. The appearance of the kopparödla is like a snake. Elongated body with a tail and no limbs. They don’t really have fangs so that’s why they are pretty much harmless to us humans. Why I am so interested and like them a lot though is that they aren’t actually a snake. It’s a type of lizard with no legs. Very cute as well🥺
Your channel has really taken me back to my childhood and I am fascinated with the animals you discover. I also love how you make it so clear that almost every single animal you handle aren’t villains or really that mean. Of course a person needs to take precautions when having an encounter though. Which you also are very good at mentioning in your videos 👍🏻😊
Man I think the rattlesnake that you just got bitten by is the one to worry about. Lol. Just saying.
So, both the Mojave and the Tiger have neuro & hemotoxins?
Any guesses or theories why neurotoxins evolved? What biological trigger would have initiated the development of the cells that produced neurotoxins in the vipers ancestors?🤔🤨 (grew up NW of Tucson; Rancho Vistoso & Rail N Ranch 1957-67 Many miles of desert exploring, climbing, spelunking.......}
Not sure. We think venoms evolved from toxins of bacteria that naturally occurred in the mouths of these animals (at least a few of the hypotheses), and then the toxins were “stolen” from the bacteria. Either through horizontal gene transfer or the bacteria were sequestered into the salivary glands. From there, the presence of toxins that helped to kill their preferred prey was more advantageous, and allowed populations of snakes with said toxins to outcompete those without, at least for those prey types. Over millennia, we see toxins get more and more potent as prey develops tolerance for the venom, almost like an evolutionary arms race. That’s our best understanding of it to my knowledge
To be honest I like Western movies as well. Not so much into the TV shows but movies I like better. Great video as always. and most importantly. Stay safe on your adventures.
Background music a bit lower Spencer
I always thought the mojavi was more potent then the tiger! Guess thats why im not a willdlife biologist lol
Mojave green has 2 different vinum
Mojave, tiger and timber rattlers have similar variations with 2 venom types
I have been bite many times never been sick!
The ontogenetic venom mutation in rattlesnakes is not seen in type A Mojave rattlesnakes and the adults remain purely neurotoxic. Adults are every bit as toxic as newborns. You’re correct though that there are several rattlesnake species that do endure that ontogenetic mutation wherein neonates are comparatively more toxic. That said, even with the hotter venom, you’d still be better off being bitten by a little 8” neurotoxic worm than a 5ft adult pumping in a couple of tablespoons of venom into your bloodstream.
It’s really cool stuff
Great video by the way. I work closely with many, many rattlesnake species and I’ve always had a soft spot for Tigris. They’re just such a unique and interesting species. They’re just built different
I want to hire those guides you had fo you have contact info
I have never heard of a tiger rsttlesnake...Great vid
I never worked with tigers, but no rattlesnake I ever saw comes close to a durissus durissus in potency. They would hit a food animal, and the animal would jump away, land in the midst of convulsions and be dead in a few seconds.
Having worked with both Tigris and durissus, I can attest that tigers absolutely nuke their prey items. And you’re right, durissus do as well. Honestly, I’ve found that the super hot neurotoxic crotalids like tigers, durissus ssp., mojave, concolor, canebrakes, etc, they kill prey faster than any other snakes that I’ve worked with.
_tigris_ has such a cute stubby little face.
Not sure if you're aware, or checked , however in Arizona, only certain populations of the Mohave rattlesnakes have the neurotoxic component to their venom.
I lived in Tucson, Arizona from 1976 until I retired in 2015 and moved to the Philippines.
I grew up in S. Florida and worked at the Miami Serpentarium from 1967 until 1969 and again from 1971 for a couple of years.
In Arizona I had a bite from a Tiger in the early 1980's and received anti-venin at the hospital (Wythe at that time), and outside of swelling and pain, the bite was relatively uneventful. I had a pretty bad case of delayed serum sickness (from the anti-venin which I had before for a previous bite) a few days later and that put me back in the hospital for 1 1/2 days.
Yup if you were bitten probably go to the hospital for perhaps ventilation maybe but probably not. Probably just go home with a bandage after words.
Yep all depends on yield of bite
I thought there were different types of venom in Mojave .The type a is neurotoxic and from what I read its strength rivals the old world elapids . There is venom type B that has what you described and I think it is a most recent discovery . On that show Venom ER , Dr Sean Bush the expert observed a Mojave bite victim and he was stunned at the bruising . He said “ I have never seen bruising on a Mojave victim before ! “
Think you can spot a crotalus cerberus or the Arizona black rattlesnake? They range in color/patterning a lot from one snake to the other with only adults having the distinct black patterning that gives them their name. They might be primarily in the opposite side of the sonoran from you for all I know though lol.
I understand these gentlemen handle a lot of venomous snakes but why would you test the snakes by not wearing hi-top snake boots and thick pants? I seen a snake handler assume a western diamondback had scurried fully under the boulder he was standing on. So he hops off the boulder right in front of the boulder and bam…the WDB strikes his leg. Thankfully he wad his friend with him who quickly took him to the hospital. I also heard he ha a bill almost $200K
Arizona is Americas Australia. 😂
The more unforgiving the environment, the more unforgiving the wildlife!
What brand model flashlight are you using in the video?
I don’t remember tbh, I have a bunch and sometimes I’m borrowing one from a buddy in the field 😂 my friend Jack uses Olight though
Out in Arizona my grandpa used to talk about the stick lizard the use sticks to put down when it's to hot for them to walk did you come across any of them.
I've seen plenty of these.. the green Mojave has a nasty bite..
I heard the coral snake was the most venomous.
Misinformed the majove is the most venomous in the southwest
We need to get you some new microphones
Just subscribed today native from Clayton Nc 💯
Evolve my a$$.... So tired of hearing evolve
Eophis underwoodi was a small four legged snake discovered 165 million years ago but the gene for venom dates back over 2 hundred million years ago. Paleontologist who study all forms of fossilized life can give accurate dates going back over 3 hundred million years ago. Boa constictors and Anacondas still have spurs on their skeletons where legs used to be.
I never really thought about the fact that snakes can't bite, not it the conventional sense anyway
Evening from England Spencer 😀 hope your well loving your content mate keep up the amazing work 💪 never heard of the tiger rattlesnake 😮 you do teach me so much it's amazing
Hope you’re doing well! Tiger rattlers are awesome, one of my favorites for sure! How’s your UA-cam journey going?
@@MyWildBackyard I'm good thankyou how are you? Been working alot got so busy have done some content we grown to 358 subscribers but got a long way to go loving your progress is amazing so very happy for you 👏
Whewie, purdy but not happy!
Definitely not happy! Never really struck though, not mean snakes for sure
I thought the coral snake was “America’s most toxic snake” ?
Its an oversimplification but sorta. So tiger rattlesnake is the most toxic rattlesnake, and by LD50 it’s the most toxic individual species in North America. That being said, coral snakes are strictly neurotoxic and lack antivenom so it’s a much more serious bite if it happens
@@MyWildBackyard II was just busting your chops 😉 It’s a different type of venom and works differently. I guess sarcasm doesn’t come over here very well. Enjoy your videos a lot and never miss a new on. Just be careful and don’t end up like chandler and lose part if a finger.
This is a really good channel. Thanks!
Thank you! So glad you’re enjoying
Great video. Friends, they were designed. God bless.
This guy is one of the most genuine, unique, and enthusiastic guys on the internet.
"Boots on the ground" none of you urbanite suburboids even wear boots💀
Hi, Thanks for this great video. I am gonna spend 3 weeks in FL. My dream would be to take a pic of cottonmouth, rattlers in the wild. Would you have advices for a poor lonesome Frenchman away from home :). BTW, I am staying in Tampa .Thanks
Rattlers in Florida are SUPER rare. You’ll probably find pygmy rattlesnakes, but the big diamondbacks are next to impossible. Cottonmouths and pygmy rattlers are gonna be fairly easy to find on warm nights right around sunset, particularly in marshy habitats. If you can find good habitat with intercrossing canals, you should have no problem seeing em, and as long as you keep your distance there should be no danger of being bit
I've always thought rattlesnakes were cool. Thanks for showing us this cute little guy.
Rattlesnakes are too cool. Can’t get enough of them
What kind of spider is that at the 55 second mark? That things going to give me nightmares for a month
Brazilian wandering spider- one of the deadliest in the world!
@@MyWildBackyardthanks for the quick reply, I actually just found it in your 5 deadliest playlist. That's what I thought it was, the light coloring threw me off. Seeing you handle that thing, you're definitely braver than me 💯👍
This evolution thinking is hard to accept!
Bro it would be so cool if youd do a canadian tour, in B.C (kamloops/interior) we have rattlensakes and tarantuloids (never seen one) would just be so cool to see what you might find north of the border
Would love to see the massasaugas up there! I’m assuming the tarantuloids are pursewebs? That’s the only thing I can think of that can withstand the winters up there
Mojave
interesting video and interesting info. nonetheless I'm not sure if tiger rattlesnake is most toxic snake in North America. some believe its LD50 is 0.6mg/kg while some believe its as low 0.07 or even 0.06mg/kg. but in my opinion the lower number is unlikely because if it was so it would make it 3rd most venomous snake in the world among land snakes and in top 10 or even top 5 if you include sea snakes which is improbable. because this would make him ahead of coastal taipan and behind only inland taipan and eastern brown snake as far as venom potency and I find it hard to believe. that said I do believe that it has one of the most potent venom out of rattlesnakes and snakes of north America in general. I don't know which venom is more potent that of tiger rattlesnake or Mojave rattlesnake with pure type A toxin (the neurotoxic type) but while both of their venoms are very potent neither is in top 3 most venomous snakes in the world (although they might be in top 10 I'm not sure) the reason why those two snakes are special is because they combine neurotic and hemotoxic venom as you mentioned and they have very good delivery system just like vipers in general but their venom includes or is in some cases entirely composed of neurotoxin and this combination is rare. and since rattlesnakes also have pits something that not even most old world vipers have combination of all those 3 things make tiger rattlesnake and Mojave rattlesnake special. but Mojave rattlesnake also has pretty high venom yield as you mentioned and this is not the case with tiger rattlesnake. and while there are other vipers that also have neurotoxin the ones I have heard of don't have very high venom yield so really while both of two snakes discussed are unique its Mojave rattlesnake that is truly unique. perhaps even one of a kind in some ways
By LD50 alone tiger rattlers are indeed the fifth most toxic snake in the world. Mojaves are up there too (this is including the type A venom) but the reason the bite is worse is venom yield. Tiger rattlesnakes rarely kill due to the fact that they almost never inject large quantities of venom, in fact there aren't any confirmed kills to Crotalus tigris in the medical record based on any sources I was able to find. Mojaves though are no joke. Hoping to dive deeper on them soon, heading back to Arizona to try and find an adult.
Mojave Green rattlesnake ld 50 0.18 mgkg SC hemotoxins and neurotoxins
Tiger Rattlesnake ld 50 0.21 mgkg SC hemotoxins and myotoxins are the 16th and 17th most toxic venomous snakes in the world tested subcutaneous.

5.Western Desert Taipan aka Central Ranges Taipan ld 50 0.075 mgkg SC
Top 5 most toxic venomous snakes land and sea tested subcutaneous for venom toxicity in the world University of Queensland Australia Microbiology and Biochemistry.
Tiger Rattlesnake ld 50 0.06 mgkg IP is not the same testing process as the ld 50 0.21 mgkg SC of the Tiger Rattlesnakes venom toxicity.
Some regions of Australia have Eastern Brown snakes ld 50 0.041 mgkg SC which makes it the second most toxic venomous snake tested subcutaneous on earth .
@@richardhincemon 0.21mg/kg sounds about right for Tiger rattlesnake I agree, but while IP might be 0.06 the IV is not that low either only IP as you mentioned. I do believe that eastern brown is second most venomous snake in the world. at least if you only take land snakes. there might be some sea snakes that are as toxic as he is but I'm not sure. but since none of them is as toxic as inland taipan there is a good chance that eastern brown is second just after inland taipan even if you do take sea snakes into consideration but to be honest I'm not really sure off the top of my head.
Been waiting for this since the thumbnail reveal on discord.
Yep! Love doin the sneak peeks 😂
Not spoiling some of the Florida stuff tho 😉
@@MyWildBackyard you’ve been hinting very cryptically, I’m on the edge of my seat!
