Exactly right. They've got super venom because their pray have long claws, teeth that could kill or permanently injure the snake. We aren't on their diet
It’s the ones I accidentally come across and don’t see that are the ones that scare me! I’ve had a red bellied black snake swim past me in a friends pool. I’m from the country so I checked the pool before I entered but it was actually in the filter basket. Funnel web spiders also lay on the bottom of pools.
Me too. In the military on exercise with the Australian army, inland Northern Territory, had a black headed Taipan slither past me about one foot away. I was frozen and couldn't even speak.
I'd be buggered then cos I'm on blood-thinning meds so my blood would be more like coloured water. I hate snakes and I'm glad I don't live in Aussie land‼️
Where am I likely to see this guy? I live in coastal rural cairns nearby cane fields, I would like to understand more about how to avoid his favourite spots. Will they be around my house, under wood piles, in the garden, in the rafters? If I were to go for a walk in the jungle/forest should I tap ahead of me with a stick while I walk? What do coastal taipans eat? Inland taipans venom is particularly effective against mammals, is it the same for coastal taipans, or do they prefer frogs and lizards? I'm trying to learn more about the snakes in my area, so that I know how to best live along side them, how to stay out of their way and also not encourage them to come to close to where my actual living space is.
Yes I have knee high gators because I am usually struck below the knee and sometimes jeans can be all is needed against eastern browns and most snakes. I live in the country so I have many accidental altercations with snakes. The point I'm getting at is the strikes below my knee I think are mostly warning strikes. Because they will likely hit the thermal imaging if going at you I believe but not positive, now I found this out at a young age as a kid growing up in the bush my father drove past a red bellied black snake with the window down on our side of the car it struck just inside the window, so not believing he tried again and again struck just inside the window so weather it was visually or thermally identifying me am unsure. Now I have trained my dog to notify me when a snake is around for I had a couple of green tree snakes in my letter box eating the frogs, moth balls stopped them in future because it's confined. But I brought them close to my living quarters to about 10 meters away from me for about 1 weak. I would verbally teach him danger danger and be careful when near the snakes and would always keep him away. Now he comes to me whimpering when a snake is around, the only problem is by the time it takes him to get to me and go back he usually overshoots the mark and the snake is behind us. But he has found in 1 week around my living quarters say area 15 mtrs x 15 mtrs 6 snakes 1 green tree snake, 1 carpet python, 1 red bellied black, 2 baby black snakes one a kookabara took and one very large inland typan now it is very rare or un heard of to have an inland tiapan so close to the coast but true. I took my dog to the vet for his yearly shots and she confirmed inland tiapans are in the area and other farmers have confirmed this. These farms are on the east coast.
@ John Stath I have seen a video on UA-cam with this Aussie guy standing perfectly still while this huge Coastal Taipan slithered between his legs. I think he was trying to convey these snakes are not out to get you. I'd like to assure him had he moved that snake would have gone psycho.
That was me as well, my mate Ross filmed that after he'd taken some photos of it. Taipans are more visually responsive than eastern browns so we interact with them differently. But if a snake isn't scared or being hurt, it has no reason to bite you.
@@jimjimo653 Because of the size of its fangs, it's the amount of venom delivered via multiple strikes that makes it the deadliest. A phenomenal creature to be admired from a distance. Best left the f--k alone.
The snake has beautiful coloring. But it is upsetting to me that you deliberately provoked it and made it feel threatened and ruined its day, sticking your boot in front of its delicate body. Shame on you! No video is worth harassing a wild animal. Leave them alone and show some respect. Do not disturb nature.
I disagree. We have saved 1000s of snakes lives by relocation and moving off roads. 2 of these animals could have been run over. Also displaying their behaviour to an audience has a massive impact. Coastal taipans in particular are generally killed on site by farmers as they are believed to be highly aggressive when in fact they are very shy. The aim of this video is to change people's mind on these animals.
@@stevetuckey Well done. Don't listen to the haters who aren't willing to do the work you are. Thanks for all you do for our cold-blooded friends and for your warm-blooded education. 😁
Even today you'll be lucky to survive.
Stands up like a black mamba
Awesome video! That footage is insane & you make a good point re. them just wanting to get out of there
Beautiful creatures, just shows they're not out to get you unless threatened, good clip mate

Hi mr Steve Tuckey.
Do you have antivenom in your pocket?.
That was a healthy and very dark coastal.
The inland is hands down the deadliest snake on the planet bar none.
Its my favourite species too.
Venom wise yes coastal taipan still deadlier. You really have to piss off an Inland get to bite you.
Love your stuff
And lucky😬

The coastal taipan venom has neurotoxin and destroys clotting factor, causing multiple bleeds through old wounds and internally

@@annie482000 if you weren't far from a medical centre with a good supply of antivenom then you could make it, but out bush you'd be in trouble

Someone's got a death wish.
Judging by the height it can raise it's head, it seems that snake boots would be useless, even knee high gators.

Nice snake.
It totally is. Found another one recently
they do chase you I got chased by one on my electric dirtbike
Amazing...
Thanks a lot 😊
@@stevetuckey Thanks🌹🌹
So unlike the eastern brown, is standing still not a good idea?

I enjoy your videos, but wasn't that a touch reckless?
No more reckless than driving down a busy highway to be honest.
Its more venomous than a viper?
Yes much more. One of the most toxic venoms out there.
@@stevetuckey It looks an amazing snake,venom snakes are pretty amazing i can say..

Bernie8330 i don’t wanna have venomous snakes,i prefer my balls and boas but i admires venomous snakes,specially vipers
Is it more venomous than a black mamba

@@stevetuckey Ok, thanks!
take a chill pill lass . If it was me i would of hit it on the head with a stick . and then wrapped it around my stick and cooked it and ate it .

I just love Killing..snakes
😭😭
Takes a real man to have the balls to leave them alone, or relocate them himself
Not beautiful.
Why do you say that?
