I really appreciate Billy's attitude. He's incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, but he's not nearly as arrogant about controlling the snakes as you'd expect someone of his experience. He's still incredibly aware of how dangerous what he's doing is.
You can see billy's hand shaking after the king brown nearly hit his face. But i will say one thing the tiger snake in Western Australia is more common along the beaches then the rest of Australia and the colour is totally different they way more tiger colour looking so more yellow and striped.
@@SumAussieCobber Yeah, he even said he still gets scared from stuff like that. A bite to the face from something that venomous is going to be pure agony.
Passion for reptiles is very real. For how dangerous they are, it's similar to the passion scientists and activists have for primates or insects, arachnids, etc. Great pay is one thing, but honestly, I will admit working with these animals seems fun and very rewarding.
Indeed, I think reptiles are awesome and love learning more about them. I personally have no issue or fear handling any snake or spider, or really any commonly feared animal as long as I have 100% assurances it poses no threat to me. Unfortunately, these snakes don’t qualify for that list.@@lordofchaos97
Having no arrogance is such an important part of many dangerous jobs. Even if you've been working the same one for 20+ years, one mistake and your life is gone or ruined.
@infinitedeath1384 Don't I know it. Even in the military did I ever go through something this dangerous. Not comparing my life to Billy, but every time I am awesome, best at something...the moment I brag or get cocky I always mess up.
@@otterwithagun1982 Haha that's karma at play. If I had a dollar for the amount of times I've seen someone brag about something, and then mess it up, I'd have like 20+ bucks lol.
Knowing how many people this helps and that the anti venom is free truly makes me proud to be an Australian, God bless this great great country and all our awesome snake handlers ❤
Wishing Billy all the best. My heart rate was accelerating watching behind the screen. These snake milkers are so important and put their lives on the line for the people.
Billy has completely the right attitude for this job. Respectful of the animals and what they can do, knowledgeable of each snake’s unique personalities and never ever putting himself at risk to show off to camera like some UA-cam personalities.
the amount of self control billy shows when the snake tries to bite him is insane, it's not only about having nerves of steel but also hours and hours of training and experience. my highest respect goes out to this guy, he's a true hero!
Huge props to Coyote and Billy, snakes are extremely muscle and STRONG, especially these kind of snakes, and the way coyote can somehow comment WHILE holding the snakes is mild blowing.
Let us all be thankful for people like Billy who put their lives on the line to help develop life saving anti-venom. Billy if you're reading this you are wonderful, sir. Thank you.
Who knew Horses were so strong with their immune systems! Hats off to the Reptile Park, and to the many horses it takes to create the antivenom!! Very well done!
Before this video I knew horses had something to do with the antivenom, but now I know and it's quite interesting. Also good that the horses aren't harmed because of this, and people get to be saved.
I couldn’t imagine being in the room while this was being done. I was on edge throughout the whole video. These people put themselves in harm’s way dozens of times every day. Their efforts save lives. Lots of respect and admiration for Bill and colleagues.
He said "I can't have an off day" and I was just imagining someone with ADHD or just an inattentive personality trying to do this work xD I think I'd die within a week ^^'
Thanks as an Australian that lives just north of Gosford we were privileged to watch one of these snake milking demos but it was by Eric Worrell. He was the man who deserves all the credit for the miking program started way back in 1951 with Tiger snakes. He died in 1987. Extra thanks and bravery award to Billy...you to Coyote.
For myself, this is the best video of this channel thus far. It was very interesting to see these snakes, their venom yield & how the anti-venom is produced. And of course the best part was seeing Billy Collett & he is indeed a brave man & I'd say a hero for all that he does to help others. Thank you for making & sharing this video!
We have a public health system where people who are injured or even bitten by one of these snakes can get treatment quickly and efficiently for free and at the most subsidised cost for something like discharge medication.
One of the best snake anti-venom harvesting documentaries ... plus covering all aspects of antivenom collection+production. Especially appreciated the snake-bite drill. Both entertaining and educational! Great job ... well done!!!
The staff at Aussie Reptile Park are ABSOLUTE LEGENDS. My family loves visiting there a couple times a year, such cool people, such cool job, such a cool place that pampers the animals they care for.
i own a snake, while i do agree that they arent living as a pet snake would, these are livestock snakes, its like how not all dogs are like your dogs, there are dog farms in asia where they're bred to be cooked and eaten, there are pet chickens and then there are chicken farms where they're born to die, though it is "abusive" it needs to happen, we cant build 130 gallon inclosures with hides, waterbowls, reptibark and humidifiers for the hundreds of snakes there, we need live stock to keep our world alive@@JohnRedcorn-yz5vb
@15:41 - It's crazy, because if you watch the snake, it basically waits for a shift in his momentum and when he stands still it launched at him. A good lesson to never think snakes are mindless creatures.
@@schneidervonhammer722 that’s what I was thinking. It seems like this job should require some sort of protective equipment not just shorts and a t shirt
@@schneidervonhammer722 yes, that snake came very very close to his legs many times!! I was surprised they didn’t use the snake hook to keep it away from his body, I wouldn’t want my fingers ( or body ) near that thing!!
Whatever Billy's getting paid is never going to be enough for what you do mate! I am not going to whine about the paychecks I receive at my deskjob anymore. Incredible stuff! Thanks Coyote for showcasing Aussie heroes on your channel! 😃
You know I’ve been watching wildlife channels since the crocodile hunter since I was 5 I’m 27 now.. I had no idea how snake antivenom was made.. thank you for that coyote and that experience with billy was insane! Love that I have been subscribed for the last 5 years to you guys. Thanks for the education
I've never known how the antivenom is created, now i know and it's tremendously interesting. I love their videos, they contain so much knowledge its insane
It's such a dangerous job they do and without the workers doing what they do alot of people would have no chance at survival. Huge respect for what they do and huge respect for you coming down here to Australia to see all theses animals we have.
I wonder what makes a person think in the morning man I want to get bit by every animal in the world. Love you coyote Peterson. Don’t think I would live without you.❤❤❤
I think we should all take some time to appreciate people like coyote and billy. What they do brings a lot of awareness for others in the wild and they put their life and health on the line for others. Truly brave peeps that deserve massive respect and support for what they are willing to do❤❤
Billy, thank you for what you do!! This was amazing and incredibly scary yet I am so grateful for what you guys do for the world we all share. Btw, Coyote’s Death Adder reaction was adorable 🥰
the reptile park also milks spiders for anti-venom! if you like watching brave wilderness, i suggest you the channel bondi vet or untamed :) if you specifically want to focus on the reptile park, there are episodes called “the wildlife of tim faulkner”.
15:43 I would’ve walked out. It would be bad enough for me to be in there with a professional and a bunch of venomous Snakes but see that, I would’ve just walked out! Interesting video, Love it
Amazing to watch this and the brilliant work that is being carried out here. This is coming from someone who lives in a country where the only venomous snakes we have work in Politics 🤣🇬🇧
Yay the Australian Reptile Park! Watched Billy in older videos on another channel and seen him handle all kinds of snakes. I can see it never gets easier 🙈
That was the most amazing task I’ve ever witnessed!!! The snake handler is nuthin but a brave courageous individual!!! I couldn’t, wouldn’t ever dream of trying something like that for the simple reason that I would definitely get bit a half a dozen times!!! Thank You for your bravery to the both of you!!!
That was very good to know how to react in the snake bite situation, also had no idea how anti-venom was made so that's very insightful. That's one hell of an important job Billy has!
I was wondering that too: *why don't they use protective gear* ? Just a speculation on my part, a material that is not pierced by those fangs restricts handlers movement and if the snake loses the venom biting the gear, very little venom can be taken afterwards, so they choose the most dangerous route to maximize yield.
The materials are prohibitively expense. The only thing they make specifically for punctures of this caliber are the company HexArmor’s Venom-Defenders. And those are just gloved
@@TangoCharlieWhiskey96 Thanks for sharing, but wouldn't metal or hard plastic strapped to the body be enough, even if custom made? Mobility would be affected though...
Good to see you back in Australia. Last time was the Funnel Web spiders I think. I always wondered how they make the antivenom didn't know they use horses that's cool. Full respect to Billy that was a massive eastern brown 🐍🐍🐎🐎🇭🇲🇭🇲
Sheesh! That Eastern Brown isn't a snake to mess with, EVEN I JUMPED BACK A LITTLE IN MY SEAT BY REFLEX! As our dearest friend Coyote Peterson says (literally!), *H O L Y M A C K A R E L !!*
Beautiful animals. Im glad they keep them in more large and normal enclosures. My favorite Aussie snakes are generally the pythons like the Water Python and Morelia etc. But all amazing snakes, including Woma Pythons! Funny little eyebrows.
Gotta give credit to Billy, after that Eastern Brown took a swipe at his face his hand was visibly shaking like a leaf, how he didn't evacuate his bowels.... amazing
I know people throw the term 'hero' out all the time, but in this case I'd absolutely agree that the people who do this are heroes. I had anxiety just watching from behind a monitor on the other side of the world from this. I cannot imagine the level of concentration, fear, stress, etc that takes place in a room with snakes like that. The people in this profession literally put their lives on the line every single day in order to provide something to save other peoples' lives. Without antivenom there would be many, many, many lost lives. Props to them for their dedication because it is insanely valuable to the greater good. And props to Coyote for even being that close to those snakes. Even if one of them was being controlled and unable to bite I would still have too much fear to help keep it still so it could be milked. Bravo.
I’m glad Billy (and hopefully the company) understands that when he said, if there’s an off day, you call it quits. Any lack of focus from sleep, emotions etc, is a major risk of getting bit. He is truly doing excellent work for humanity
Wow that was close. Almost on the face. He was shaking hardcore. He knew how lucky he got on that one. Australians are crazy breed! It's not the snakes I worry about.😂
Great job, Billy. You guys are doing a great / scary thing to help many people. And the "bitten" first aid demonstration was a nice thing to include. Stay safe, everyone. 😊👍
As an Australian who lives in the bush. I have had may of encounters with snakes. My worst one so far was going for a bike ride, hoping off my mike, and then being a millimeter from stepping on a red belly black snake. It’s really nerve racking. Brown snakes less intimidating but have more potent venom. The red belly black snake looks the scariest. The eastern brown snake is probably the snake you will see the most. I have seen a inland taipan though.
This is absolutely insane. The guts it takes to handle a snake like this, even with medical treatment "close by" I would be absolutely crapping my pants. Even the expert who is primarily handling the snakes, he seems highly anxious (smart guy). My hat is off to ANYONE doing work like this. Cheers.
I'd say it's good to have a bit of anxiety in a job like that. Keeps you on your feet so you can react quickly to a snake coming at you, or from being bitten. Complete opposite of, say, being a surgeon where you don't want anxiety causing you to shake.
4:05 you can get a sense of how fast these snake are right here. Despite being restrained this much, it was able to move an impressive amount jolting their arms. Super incredible animal
Coyote and the team are on-production right now recording the final snake milking adventure... any guesses on the snake species?
I don't know 🤔
So much snakes a type of python I guess 😐
Maybe a rattle snake or viper?
Top of the list, inland Taipan? But maybe in honour of Billy...the Collet's snake?
Coyote was asked to block the cloaca when holding the snakes. I can't find the reason online. Can you explain why?
I really appreciate Billy's attitude. He's incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, but he's not nearly as arrogant about controlling the snakes as you'd expect someone of his experience. He's still incredibly aware of how dangerous what he's doing is.
You can see billy's hand shaking after the king brown nearly hit his face. But i will say one thing the tiger snake in Western Australia is more common along the beaches then the rest of Australia and the colour is totally different they way more tiger colour looking so more yellow and striped.
I see him as a very smart and humble person.
that's because the ones that become arrogant die.
Gotta respect someone like that. He's confident, but never forgets how deadly these snakes are. What a heart pounding joke!
@@SumAussieCobber Yeah, he even said he still gets scared from stuff like that. A bite to the face from something that venomous is going to be pure agony.
I wonder what makes a person wake up in the morning and think, “I want to milk snakes for a living.”
Depending on what type of snake it is, their venom is probably worth 5 times as much as your paycheck 😂
Passion for reptiles is very real. For how dangerous they are, it's similar to the passion scientists and activists have for primates or insects, arachnids, etc. Great pay is one thing, but honestly, I will admit working with these animals seems fun and very rewarding.

He seems like an awesome lad. But then again, it's easy to stay humble when the smallest mistake could cost him his life.

As an Australian who lives in the bush. I have had may of encounters with snakes. My worst one so far was going for a bike ride, hoping off my mike, and then being a millimeter from stepping on a red belly black snake. It’s really nerve racking. Brown snakes less intimidating but have more potent venom. The red belly black snake looks the scariest. The eastern brown snake is probably the snake you will see the most. I have seen a inland taipan though.
I'd crap my pants if I saw the most toxic snake -and the taipan isn't even looking that scary ...
This is absolutely insane. The guts it takes to handle a snake like this, even with medical treatment "close by" I would be absolutely crapping my pants. Even the expert who is primarily handling the snakes, he seems highly anxious (smart guy). My hat is off to ANYONE doing work like this. Cheers.
I'd say it's good to have a bit of anxiety in a job like that. Keeps you on your feet so you can react quickly to a snake coming at you, or from being bitten. Complete opposite of, say, being a surgeon where you don't want anxiety causing you to shake.
4:05 you can get a sense of how fast these snake are right here. Despite being restrained this much, it was able to move an impressive amount jolting their arms. Super incredible animal
Billy seems like an awesome guy. Truly crazy that he handles those snakes daily but such an important job.
My son who is seven just laughed his butt off at the bee dance at the end. Fabulous job all round Guys.❤
I used to catch vipers,but this is so nerve wracking,even watching it on video.
Hats down to Billy,He's absolute beast

30 times this amount to create 1 anti venom dose, that is crazy! Those guys are heros!
Sounds like a very risky job, imagine having to milk these snakes hundreds, to thousands of times in that career.
Billy :- This snake scares me
Also Billy :- *Freely handling the snake*
Being courageous doesn't mean you're not afraid, it means you're afraid yet you do it anyways. This guy is truly a hero!
I love the video but why am I watching this in 2024 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Same ❤❤😂
