😂😂😂

Chicken thieves 🐥

the turlinjah guy who got bitten by a black and didnt seek medical attention or the moruya woman who picked up a tiny baby black snake, tell them black snakes are harmless - if you can find their headstones

@@garrymercer757 you just answered your own question - they didn't seek medical attention...

That's is so true, they are definitely the most dangerous.

I 100% agree with this statement. I have never been attacked by any animal other than a human. And the funny part is, people who have never even seen a shark can fear them people say that's understandable. People who would not know one end of a snake from another can fear them, people say that's quite right. I have been bullied, bashed, and broken by people, but my dislike of them is anti-social. Go figure, lol.

Drops bears 🐻 are the most dangerous

Totally wrong, the most deadly animal in Australia is the "horse"

Everything is Dangerous on this Planet replies people animals I love watching these videos about snakes❤❤ thanks for sharing👍👍👌👌❤❤

Hahaha thanks mate. That's because leeches are just downright creepy. LOL 😅😅😅

@@robbiefishingl have woken up covered in the little f$&king camping.

@@robbiefishing i'm with you.. leeches are disgusting and as an aussie yes I can cope with the snakes and spiders much easier than a leech.

Thanks so much mate. 👍👍

Thanks so much mate.

​@@robbiefishingred belly black snakes are harmless

Yeah, right

Thank you so much Catherine.

@@robbiefishing they are my favourite type of snake they and tiger snakes but I been told to not pick them up seens my health is no good n they could kill me any health person would get sick from a black snake but me I’d die

Thanks Geoff.👍👍

I hate snakes (once got a warning (dry) strike from a deadly Tiger Snake, which hospitalised me for a day) but I grudgingly admit the red-belly blacks are an aesthetically pretty snake. Dangerous, but kinda nice.

Met a red belly black when I was 11 cutting through the bush going home. He reared up at me and scared the absolute crap out of me, but never lunged or really showed any aggression, I probably gave him a fright. Over 50 yrs ago but that fear has never left me. I’m fine with huge huntsman but not snakes.

Thanks mate. 👍👍

Thanks mate. They sure were beauty's.

Thanks Bruce. That is so awesome. Are they black snakes or tiger snakes over there?

@@robbiefishing Robbie I'm pretty sure they are actually tiger snakes on KI. They are very dark in colour though.

Ran into a few tigers over the years over KI and you're right they tend to stand their ground like cobras when they sit right up and flatten their throat .

Yes very well done !!

Thanks so much mate.

Thanks mate. 👍

Thanks so much mate. I am forever grateful for where I live. I love Wangaratta and love the Winton Wetlands.

Thanks mate, and I agree. 👍👍

Thanks Robert. Yes mate, they sure are introduced. They'e not as much of a problem as the rabbits are though. They don't dih big burrows and make a mess, and they don't overpopulate areas like rabbits. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling that pair up and mate for life... Also unlike rabbits. LOL

Good eating though if cleaned properly Add some pheasant, woodcocks potatoes carrots onions they make a great game stew😊

@@robertcotton9091 Plenty of hares in Canberra. My dogs occasionally take off after the local ones when at the park, but they have not caught one yet. They do seem to have increased in number in recent years, I put it down the the wet seasons we have been having and more food for them available. They are spreading into areas I have not seen them, in numbers well above what they were, and displacing rabbits as they move, it seems. I have seen a couple of old rabbit warrens abandoned and hares now have lies and scrape in the areas. Not sure if the warrens were poisoned or not, but the hares are definitely moving in on rabbit run areas.

@@AndrewFishmanthanks mate I was unaware of them All the best mate and thanks again Cheers Rob

@@robertcotton9091 Cheers mate. Aveagoodun.

Thanks so much mate.

Thanks so much mate.

Thank you so much for your amazing feedback. It makes me feel so good knowing that I am helping people to understand snakes better. I use to be really scared of them when I was younger. Then I learnt to understand them. 👍

Thanks mate. 👍👍

Thanks so much Dave. 👍👍

Thanks mate. What a shame about losing the big fish. Oh well, now you will have the issue and want to go back. Haha

Thanks Dmac, they don't scare me if I see them in advance, but when they're next to my foot it's a different story. LOL 🤣🤣

Thanks Pete, they are pretty cool snakes aren't they.

Thanks so much mate. 👍👍

Thanks mate, I agree. It's all about trying to prove to people that snakes are not out to hurt us.

@@robbiefishing exactly .

Thanks so much mate. 👍

Thanks so much mate.

Thanks mate. I have a few videos with browns in them, but not a lot of tigers. They appear in a few of my fishing videos but I don't see them as often. If you search "robbiefishing brown snake" you will find quite a few of my brown snake videos.

Thanks mate. 👍👍

Thanks so much mate.

Thank you so much for your kind comment and support. 👍👍

Welcome to the crew, mate. i love the South Coast. Was down at Burrill Lake a couple of weeks ago. My parents lived in Ulladulla for many years. From Nowra to Eden are my old stomping grounds, great to see you here. May your stay be long and wonderfully entertaining. It is a great community Robbie has gathered together, I hope you find it so.

Eastern Brown snakes sure do get going mate.

Thanks so much mate. 👍👍

Mate, the biggest thing you have to fear from a snake while fishing, unless you go messing with them, is them taking a nice keeper. I have lost a few fish, trout to a tiger and a couple of reddies to blacks, in the past. The way I figure it, while they have a mouthful of fish, they are not gonna bite you 😂

Thanks mate. I was using my GoPro Hero10. It's the camera that I usually use for snakes and for underwater footage. I filmed this at 2.7k resolution, and 120 frames per second. I rarely ever film in such high quality because it's a nightmare to edit. Usually I film at 2.7/30, 1080/60 and occasionally 2.7/60, which is about the same as 4k/30 to edit. 2.7/120 is beautiful to view but a nightmare to edit. This video took me a long time to edit because my computer kept getting bogged down. Haha The other reason that I don't film at such high resolutions often is because the cameras get very hot and shut down. Even at 1080/60 they shut down when filming fishing videos on a hot day.

Thanks so much mate.

Thanks Deb, and spot on. Make lots of noise and they will disappear, well most will anyway.

Hahaha thanks mate. I know where there is a dam that I have caught a lot of Leeches in, I could give that I go. LOL 🤣🤣

Thanks mate. Blacks are certainly much more approachable thats for sure.

😂 They do have a way of making you rethink your choices, but you did well to remember the lesson, do not fear them, respect them.

Hoop snakes. LOL 😂 Thanks Cam. I tend not to get as close to browns as I do blacks. LOL

The hoop snakes like hilly country mate, this area was too flat. They like to have a nice steep hill to get rolling down. Wrong habitat, right area.

Thanks Dane. Its the leeches that freak me out the most. Haha

@@robbiefishing 🤣 You are both wusses. Neither leeches or spiders are problems. It is people that freak me out most. Them I fear.

Haha 👍👍

Thanks for watching mate.

Haha I use to be too, and that is why I love making videos like this one to try and help people understand them.

Don't be. More snakes are killed by people each week than people by snakes each year. Do not be fooled by the stories. There are very, very few cases of people being bitten when they were not actively trying to remove, capture or kill a snake. You can tread on them and startle them enough to strike, but that is very rare. I do know a guy who had the misfortune of whipping his hand back to start a whipper-snipper, right next to where a huge brown was lying in the garden. He got bitten on the hand, but never held it against the snake. The combination of the movement and the engine noise suddenly starting was more than enough to elicit a bite. It did take him months to recover, he lost about half his weight. So, the moral of the story, be careful, not afraid.

Thanks mate. I'm not sure why. They are usually at their most vibrant straight after shedding their skin, and if you don't get the angle right you may not see the red at all.

Thanks so much mate.

Thank you so much for your kind words mate.

Thank you so much Felix. Good luck mate, I hope that you can catch some trout soon..

G'day mate, I sure was mate. It was a bit of a grind. Was that you in the boat with a couple of other blokes?

Yeah mate

Did you have much luck

By the way I got a 53 cm murray cod on a zerek slickback

@@sloppyjoeoutdoors2980 It was very slow. I only caught 4 redfin. None very big. How about you blokes?

Thanks Alan. There's certainly a lot of other snakes along the Goulburn River for some reason..

Thanks so much mate, they are such amazing looking snakes aren't they.

Thanks so much Barry. I see a few eastern Brown snakes at this spot, but surprisingly I have never seen a single tiger snake. I probably see 15 blacks for every 1 brown I would say. Browns tend to hang out more in areas with lots of mice, such as hay sheds and chook pens.

Thank you so much. 👍

Thanks mate.

Hahaha as much as I love them, that still scares the crap out of me. LOL

Generally, they will move before you get to tread on them. I did step on the tail of one as a kid, it wanted to get out of there so fast that I hardly realised. It was in no mind to try and argue the toss. I just felt it move under my bare foot and saw it shoot off around the corner of the house. Dad got it and moved it out to the rabbit warren a few hundred metres away. A red belly black I ran over on the motorbike was interesting though. I saw it coming and yelled a warning to my sister who I was dinking. We were on a dam wall and had no where to turn, so hit it straight across. I had my feet around petrol tank level, my little sister had her feet up at my hip level and the snake hit the seat where her thigh would have been, got dragged, dropped off and headed straight into the dam. THAT could have been interesting if my sister had copped a whack. Mum would not have been impressed at all. It left fang holes with venom dribbles on the seat. Her thigh would have been a pincushion. EXPLAIN that to your mum...

Thanks mate. I say much the same thing. I spend huge amounts of time in dense scrub and some very sneaky places, and in my time I have never once had a snake try and bite me. I've seen literally hundreds, probably thousands of them, but none have ever tagged me..

Nah thanks u can keep ur your venomous spiders..I know I’d get bitten by the things .

@@robbiefishing I guess the whole country has 3 or 4 snakebite casualties each year whereas I read that India had 58,000 deaths per annum as a result of snakebite. That might give some perspective on the danger here compared to other places. This is a good video as it put things in perspective. I’m not aware of anyone dying from a Red Belly Black bite, and as they eat the young of the more dangerous Browns and Tigers, I’m always happy to have them on our property,

Thanks Wayne. Oh that's not good. All animals need to be super careful around snakes, especially dogs.

Thanks so much mate. 👍👍

WOW Toby that is super awesome mate, well done legend. 👍👍👍

Spot on mate. Once you take the time to admire them you really behind to appreciate them.

Thank you so much. I agree 100% with most people having no idea just how many are around. Haha

Thanks so much mate. Yeah I am not getting to close that's for sure. I'm trying to show people how snakes behave, not how brave and amazing I am. LOL I'm more than happy to stand back and use a selfie stick, and then encourage other people not to get too close. They're beautiful creatures, they don't randomly chase people, but they are still highly venomous.

@robbiefishing no dramas at all mate. Not that it looks like you need it either but there's herping groups (here in nsw) that go out on trips too and they travel around finding all sorts. Yeh thats good mate, i see to many people either trying to get too close or just trying to kill them and its a shame, so I ended up doing a relocation course with them to allow me to work with them a bit more hands on and hopefully get some of my own collection one day. That's the biggest misconception I here too lol they chased me 😂 no mate, it was getting away from you. Browns will come at you, but that's a stand off to make you pull away so they can get away too lol

Haha They have a habit of scaring people. LOL

WIW that is amazing. I would absolutely love to have a big python living in my ceiling. How fascinating. There are a small number of Murray Darling Carpet Pythons in my area, and they turn up in ceilings occasionally as well, but they're not in town, they're 10 minutes out of town at the base of the hills..

"Watch out for snakes on the ground, smoke on the horizon and be back for dinner" was what mum said every day as she kicked us out the back door at stupid hour to go and play in the paddocks. How we were meant to watch for snakes and smoke, I never figured out, but we managed. I swear Aussie kids have dislocated eyes watching the ground and the horizon at the same time.

Oh, and do you think a carpet snake might be a good solution to the bloody possums I have in my ceiling?

@@AndrewFishman I haven't seen a rat or ringtail in years here. There are some brushtails that stick to the back fence and the mango trees but they're not coming in

@@krissteel4074 🤔 I wonder what the landlord would say? 😂

There sure are. 👍👍

Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣

Haha I bet it did. It would have had the same effect on me. LOL They're very good at that.

Is that Highland Copperhead, tiger snake and yellow faced whip snake? I saw a dead snake on the road over there near Leven Canyon when I was there in 2020.

@@robbiefishing Its the White lipped Whip snake and they are so fast you can rarely get a glimpse of them. Ive seen them on top of Hobarts Mt Wellington, and they differ in coulour to the ones that inhabit hill tops which may mean two distinct types. The copperhead loves coastal marshes and lowlands that contain permanent habitat for frogs. There may well be a highland variety on the central plateau lake ridden terrain. Tigersnakes have so many colour vaiations and habitat range they can range from jet black to brown with yellow stripes. Im not familiar with the critters that inhabit the lime stone areas like Leven Canyon, but the wettnass of that environment may make it ideal for a copperhead to exploit the natural depressions that limestone areas typically have and often flatter more vegetation friendly high altitude pockets that could quite well host copperheads at higher altitudes in theory. I wont google my snake facts so my info might not be up to date, but I had to google Leven Canyon as I never heard of it. I spent some time at Lake St Claire many years ago (Central highlands) in the height of summer, and I saw more snakes in the first hour than I ever saw ever anywhere. All black Tigersnakes on the rocks hanging near the water to keep cool in the semi shade on a scorching day, Great video and up close footage of those Red Bellys, they are so liquid they seem to pour down those holes into the ground like water. Cheers mate !

Thanks mate. I have seen videos of them. They're jet black and 6 foot long. LOL 😂 I've never seen a tiger snake in the Winton Wetlands believe it or not.

Awesome. I always stand a bit further back when I photograph Brown snakes. LOL

Make all the noise you want. Snakes are deaf.

Haha I reckon I would have bailed from that kayak very quickly. LOL 😅😅

Thanks mate. My experiences have been much the same.

Haha poor wife. Please tell here that I sad Sorry....not really sorry. 🤣🤣🤣

Haha I use to be scared of them too, but then I learnt to respect them.

Hi mate, it's the Victoria one. 👍

@@robbiefishing Ned Kelly country

Thanks Donna. 👍👍

PS, thanks for posting the vid. Appreciated.

Thank you so much. That is correct. And, King Brown snakes are also a member of the black snake family. Their venom is not nearly as toxic as an eastern Brown Snake, but they can deliver an absolute motherload of it.

@@robbiefishing That's it, I'm officially out of date re snake classification. I thought King Browns were members of the Brown family. Most of my books are from the 90s or 00s. Love your vids.

@@indiathylane2158 thank you so much. 👍

Haha that's funny. I don't have him any more mate. I have him away to a young fella where he will get a lot more TLC.

Thanks David, I agree with everything that you just said. Browns are certainly more cranky than blacks, and most other snakes for that matter. Haha
