Sometimes, I wonder how people in Australia are still alive considering nearly all life forms there seem to be deadly.

Inland taipans very rarely, if ever, bite people because they live in the Australian "outback" and rarely come in contact with humans and are quite reclusive.

The black mamba,with it’s speed and the amount of venom,that it can inject with one bite is absolutely terrifying!! But very fascinating 🧐

Boomslangs are rear-fanged; inland taipans have front fangs.

As an Australian, I've never seen a taipan. King brown snakes and red belly black snakes are the ones that usually end up in your backyard/house

Fun Fact: Boomslangs actually have rear fangs. Have a nice day :)

My dad encountered two-step vipers in Vietnam. They called it two-step vipers because when they bite you, you will take two steps backwards and then die.

As an Australian person, I think that I am somewhat qualified to say: good video, but some of the facts aren’t quite right. The part where it says how to survive is pretty much right, but the bit about how inland taipans will bite you and then go off to find another victim isn’t right at all. This video fails to tell you that nobody has EVER been killed by an inland taipan because they are terrified of people. If you are going to central australia or any place with snakes, make sure to know exactly how to deal with the wildlife because it might save your life. Stay safe!

I love how the snake is all over Australia in the beginning but not in the other places

Love your channel!!

What I'm not hearing from yourselves constantly through this video is, if given the chance of fight or flight, the snake will always try to choose flight! It gains nothing injecting humans with venom, so if they show it no interest, it will quietly get away if it can. Yes, Boomslangs & Inland Taipans have extremely potent venom, but are also highly unlikely to use it on something they cannot eat wherever possible. I wanted to get it out there, as know some people will see this and think snakes are out there preying on them, which is just not true! They are not only amazing to watch, but also to work with.

If you get bitten just stay completely still, a paramedic told me it travels through the lymphatic system which moves with your arms and legs. Stay still wait for help you can survive all snakes for over 12 hours, if you have to.

Well the moral of this story is. If your traveling in snake country be very aware of where you step and where a snake can possibly be.

From what i know,though inland taipan is the most venomous snake on earth,there's no record of being beaten by it or a rare record because it only lives in the most remote area in australia

Being from Alabama, many of us are taught to always look down when walking through grass and woods, not just because of snakes, but because of sink holes as well, but mostly snakes

They really had homeboy waiting that long at the emergency room that’s crazy😂

The most venomous snake would be on Snake Island as the snakes eat each other and breed creating even more deadlier snakes each generation.

Such a rhetorical question... Without help you wouldnt survive a normal venomous snake. Let alone a more venomous snake

I live in Guyana and I've had 2 very close interactions with snakes one time I was outside doing stuff when I was distracted by something then a snake began slowly slithering towards me from behind, if it wasn't for my sister I would have probably got bitten by a very venomous snake the second time I was coming home from school and my older sister was alone with her baby and I saw a massive snake at the front door so I had to take the back door route and we had to lock the doors and just wait inside till my dad came home and that was till like midnight Edit:what are the chances another snake pulled up on me a few minutes ago 😭

"If only the well being of human could be prioritized over the profits of pharmaceuticals " I felt that💔

Surprising that you guys made such an articulate mistake......boomslang snakes are rear fanged, not front.

Congratulations!!! I always had a phobia for snakes and now I am even scareder of snakes...

interesting fact, as a south african who speaks afrikaans, the Boomslang literally translates to “Tree Snake” in afrikaans

This was very interesting. I'm wondering what the worse spiders do

Inland Taipans spend most of their life underground in burrows to avoid the intense outback sun. So its extremely rare to be bitten by one unless you decided to go looking for one and mess with it

One of those bit me once. After five long agonizing days, the snake died....

Wow, this guy went to the worst hospital he could find

Great video 😊

Ok so everything wrong in this video: the boomslang is rear fanged and the taipan is front fanged not the other way around. Also it is pronounced the same as "crate". Nothing in this video is "poisonous". It's not a good idea to cut off blood flow they don't do that anymore because you can go into shock once they release it. Antivenin is your only option. Other than that good video. :) I would have used a fer-de-lance as an example of hemot

Thanks for the information

At 2:11 Two reasons for snake venom.... Actually there is three reasons. The one you missed is to aid in digestion. Yes they start eating their food before they get it in their mouth....

I always look down around my bed when I watch snake videos

So you telling me I didn’t have to chop my friends arm?

“This will be the last mistake you will ever make.” The way that was said, it sounded similar to what, “Congratulations, you’ll never make another mistake in your life, because you won’t have one soon!” would sound like.

It's unlikely the emts would have brought the antivenom with them, most ambulances are not just sitting at the hospital waiting for calls. They are there own entity. Atleast in the US

My favorite venomous snake is the Gaboon Viper. Beautiful creature!

I have to laugh at the irony with the interlude between the stages of venomous snake bites showing what is either a green tree python or an emerald tree boa, which are both non-venomous

Fun fact, the boomslang actually is rear fanged. In fact its probably the most toxic rear fanged snake in the world.

The Inland Taipan snake escalated SO FAST!! 😱

This seems like a good challenge guy episode idea

Boomslangs have rear fangs, not forward ones, but they do stand apart from other rear-fanged venomous snakes in that they are as deadly as the forward-fanged ones.

Welp, thanks for refreshing that fear 😆

Makes me thankful to live in the UK. We only have 2 native snakes, the common grass snake (non venomous) and the Adder (venomous) but they’re rarely seen and rarely bite unless highly provoked.

Another reason why anti-venomes aren't a long-term solution is because in many cases the body will recognize it as a weaker venom, and herpetologist who are bitten often sometimes develop allergies to Anti-Venom

Thank goodness I live in the UK where the most venomous snake is the Adder, which would only give you a light rash if one bit you... :P

A tourniquet does not “stabilize,” it prevents blood flow. A splint stabilizes.

Boomslang are rear fanged snake, not front. There is a very good documented death in a boomslang bite by a herpatologist.

Would think the reason they dont carry the anti venom is because like most medical liquids it has an experation date and its not popular enough to outweigh the expense of making it only to have 5 vials expire because only 1 person needed it.

Boomslangs have rear fangs, not forward ones, but they do stand apart from other rear-fanged venomous snakes in that they are as deadly as the forward-fanged ones. Taipans are forward-fanged.

This channel will make you know more than you need to know!

SNAKES 🐍 ARE AWESOME

Nice vid

6:15 Unexpected symptom of a snakebite: On the hospital bed you still carry your backpack.

1 slight problem with this video - Boomslangs are rear fanged! haha

Thanks for adding fodder for my nightmares, Infographics. :|

Black Mamba might be less toxic than the Inland Taipan, but what the Mamba lacks in toxicity, it makes up for with fast acting venom.

I’ve actually had to administer first aid for an inland taipan bite, and cutting off blood flow is not recommended, you want to apply a compression bandage to stop lymphatic movement, more like treating a sprained ankle then using a tourniquet

The word Boom means a tree in the language of Afrikaans & slang means snake. So boomslang, simply translates to a “tree snake”.

Option A: Deamputate the area you got bit at. Option B: Deamputate the area you got bit at. Option C: Head to a hospital and find out that they dont have anti-snake venom.

The problem with going to the hospital is your going to be in the waiting room for hours… often 5 to 8 hours… Doesn’t matter how much pain your in or what’s going on. If you’re not passing out, severally bleeding, need to be quarantined or screaming from pain they will make you wait. They say they care but they clearly don’t… If you don’t believe me I’ve been in the ER vomiting blood, passing out, in extreme pain to the point where I couldn’t move and showing clear signs of a head injury (which should be treated immediately to prevent and minimize brain damage!) all on separate occasions and they did nothing. After many hours of waiting they completely ignored me and sent me home. Almost every time I had to come back or go to another hospital just to get the medical care needed. Hospitals don’t care if you die. They just want money.

Anyone else have issues watching this. It's like I was feeling light headed dizzy and tired and I only made it halfway before pausing lol

12:42, That depends on exactly where the bite is...lol

Boomslangs aren't front fangled snakes as far as I know

Epic love

The Olive Green Sea Snake is in the top 3 most deadly. They just never bite Humans.

The inland taipan i like to think as a shy introvert who has a knife for when someone gets to close and makes them uncomfortable

If a potato bites you there is nothing you can do

I would like to point out that boom slang’s snakes actually Rear fand therefore it’s harder for boom slang to bite a person that would be a cobra or a inland taipan

Respect to people of Australia.. They have snakes everywhere like we have street dogs in Asian countries

Nice

New fear unlocked.

In the wilderness it can even come worse. To be more or less paralyzed by a snakebite will make you attractive as a free lunch for almost every hungry predator around.

Cool!

The most venomous snake I know is the Inland Taipan but there is a cure for it.

I think the overall argument is the choice between being able to reach medical help or not. All these experts say this or that in the confidence knowing they could treat the bite if you make it to them. Not considering, some trailblazers get out there so far and it could easily be a day or 2 before they could reach help. Its often left to intense debate, and kind of also faults the explorers hiking so far out there not being prepared for the possibility. If i was dropped like bear grills or les shroud out into the crazy wilderness with no lifelines, id probably risk the craziness that comes from slaughtering your own flesh and veins to reduce the venom over trying to stay calm despite knowing your easily 1 to 2days from help. Theres no easy choice Minus actually, you know, Not being bold to explore the wilderness alone and too far from help? Goodness

*And that my friends is how the furious five required viper*

Unfortunately, the Inland Taipan only lives in remote outback areas of Australia. So if you get bit by one, unless you have anti venom on hand, you are certain to die. No EMT can reach you in time.

I wonder what the infographics shows search history looks like?

Soo many inaccuracies in this. Snake venom DOES NOT travel through the blood stream. It is transported by the lymphatic system.

The movie "Snakes on a Plane" is much more terrifying after looking at this video.

I dont like to the hospital unless the pain is screaming in my face but with snakes any bite is a hospital visit their venom randomness scares me.

Awesome possum

And that's why... I never go hiking... 😅😅😅

No human has ever died because of being bitten by an Inland Taipan (fierce snake). In fact, Inland Taipans are quite docile, not aggressive. See Steve Irwin Plays With Inland Taipan (Fierce Snake) - KZfaq.

The Inland Taipan only has 1 reported snake bite ever, not a single death reported and yes it is the most venomous snake in the world but its lives in rural Australia near no civilization. Also, snakes don't have poison they have venom.

Um, NO. DO NOT cut off the blood flow to and from the wound. That can and will have serious consequences - possibly life threatening ones, such as gangrene. Instead, wrap the area of the wound and the area towards the body with a tight pressure bandage. This will slow the progress of the venom and give you the maximum time to get help.

Fun fact the boomslang translates to tree snake

u actually dont want to tie something around your wound because the venom will just stay in that part of the body and you will most likely have to get it amputate that limb

cool beans!

"You should live in the forests, its nice!" also the forests:

first. love this show!

it makes me happy to live in the uk because there is 2 dangerous animals

I was face to face with a giant snake before.

I just got done watching cave diving accidents and then I come to this... I think I'm done with the internet tonight

Note: keep phone with you

Note to self.... Dont get bitten by a boomslang snake

I love these videos because I love learning but I happen to be obsessed with snakes and study them a good part of each day and in the infographics videos about snakes I'm always disappointed about the misinformation I hear. It makes me question the information in their other videos that I just assumed was true because I didn't have any previous knowledge on the subject

Doc: I have the antidote! Patient: Sorry doc, I'm anti vax... *dies*

Boomslangs are rear fanged snakes please depict as that

Actually , the boomslang is back-fanged , and the inland taipan is a front fanged elapid
