Antivenom saved my son when he was 8 after getting bitten my a rattlesnake while hiking in California. He had to have 10 vials. I thank God for antivenom!
@@lesliegriffie221 No. He was Childrens Hospital in San Diego. Great place! At the time we were a Navy family but their hospital didn't have what we needed.
I absolutely agree with Australia, it should do what it does. Such a complex and close relationship with wildlife makes this country truly unique. Thanks WATOP for another interesting video
I almost stepped on a Death Adder when I was in primary school. It was hiding under some leaf litter on the concrete stairs at my first primary school. I happened to spot it, after which I sent someone to get the teachers while I kept other students away (while maintaining a safe distance myself). Once the teachers arrived, I assume they called animal control, but the lunch bell rang a few minutes later so we all had to return to class and I never saw the final outcome.
@@bensoncheung2801 yeah nah. We Aussies are taught to respect our dangerous wildlife from toddlerhood. Most of us can identify a half dozen or more dangerous species before we even start school. I’m not an arachnophobe, but I will duck any time i see a spider hanging from a thread - at least until I’ve had a chance to try and identify it. It’s a learned behaviour, because we grow up with venomous spiders inside our homes (usually red backs). Heck, more than half of us are bitten by a venomous spider at least once in our lives. (I was bitten by a red back that came down from the ceiling when I was sitting on my couch at the age of 17. felt the tickle and pinprick on my neck, and I naturally scratched the sensation only to accidentally cut it in half. Was nauseous and had the tingling numbness of my lips but after a few hours I was ok). I was only 6 when that death adder incident occurred. And I knew what I was looking at even at that age (death adders are next to impossible to misidentify). That same year my father accidentally mowed over an Eastern Tiger Snake that was in long grass.
Thank you for the video. Question, I hear Steve but where'd he go. You do great at listening to the fans but this is your channel Ave we love you for that
Interesting video. Just not the one advertised in the thumbnail. Did not see any farm raised culinary snakes nor was the concept ever addressed at all.
A week or two ago a snake catcher down here had some kind of equipment failure and a tiger snake bit him on the finger - by the time his daughter (and fellow snake catcher, working with him on the job) had called for an ambulance he was already incapacitated. Two full courses of anti-venom treatment later and the photo of him in the hospital look like he had fallen down several flights of stairs - all blue and purple and swollen. Despite the blanket protected status of all native species in Australia, we do have a saying down here that starts with "The only good snake..."
Yeah..maybe if you are vietnamese.. My dad stopped eating "meat" and only orderedvegetable dishes at restaurants in Vietnam, after finding snake scales in his dish.
yeah boooy! The Butantan in Brazil is Great! But we do need the caring of the Australia in some places... There are a lot of cases that aren't even in the records... people that live far from cities for example.
Try mongoose blood plasma as snake bite anti venom/immunity in nature they (mongoose) combat snake and get bite plenty always tho killing the snake as food
Mongoose do die from snake venom sometimes. Immunity is not a guarantee. The evolutionary arms race means the snake wins sometimes and the mongoose wins sometimes. Whoever passes on their genetics makes the next generation stronger. Mongoose often just avoid being bitten altogether since they can often react faster than a snake can strike. Also if a mongoose was bitten by an Australian snake it would likely have no immunity at all to that snake venom since it's has not evolved along side those species like it has with African species. Large horses also can give huge yields of plasma since they're huge animals whereas a 3 pound mongoose would yield almost nothing and would need hundreds of them to give as much as a single horse.
Na, it definitely was since he developed immunity. If you're working with venomous snakes for a living better to have antibodies against that venom than just hope to never get bitten.
Good Day Eh! At 8.00 min you say that Your Horses possess higher immunity to create Aunty-Venom " But " Sharks have been Proven to Beat Injuries and Do Not Get Cancer. would it not be better to use a stronger Immunity for Combating Venom Afflictions? I am not a university Teacher but I listen when ( Proven ) Facts have been Shared and Recorded.
Lots of animals have robust immune systems. That's not the only factor. Horses are large, docile, are domesticated, are easily trained, and are mammals like us. Keeping a bunch of sharks alive in a lot of big aquariums with expensive filtration, and routinely injecting them and getting their plasma sounds like a whole lot of unnecessary work, time, and money. Besides that, I doubt sharks would actually be less susceptible to terrestrial snake venom than a horse since they don't really need to be. Horses step on snakes in the wild and get bit and survive with immunity. Sharks not so much.
I know you guys don’t eat snakes! But please send real Vegemite and real Violet Crumble bars. They’re not the same here. I’m American and I like Vegemite 😊
They are protected thats why. Its so many of them that they could eat them and make many thing from their skins but they're too important for the anti-venoms.
Easiest way for snake capture is to change out the snake hook ... for what I have found (and designed) as a snake lariat. Use any modern (solid or collapsible) walking/hiking pole. One the ground end, unscrew the plastic or metal foot of the hiking pole. Slide on a metal key chain ring of a little larger than the pole diameter (but not so big it falls off). Replace the metal foot. At the hand end of the pole, one want to tie on, and then wrap some 20 feet of 3/16th inch braided fishing (not monofilament fishing line) or such braided trapper line. You can slip the braided line through the key ring and make loop. Reach out the hiking pole and place the lariat loop around the snake's head and pull snug (not tight or choking, or cut off the snake's head). One can then safely relocate the snake, or place safely into a catch bag, loosed up the loop and withdraw the hiking pole from the closed bag neck, without having your hands anywhere in sight. The snake lariat hiking pole can reach into finger-sized crannies (the snake hook prohibits such pokings). The snake hook also likes to have the snake on the hook, but also have another hand holding the tail (while keeping the snake head away from the catcher). The hiking pole, once pulled tight, only needs to have a single hand control, while the other hand is free - and able to maneuver the catch bag underneath the controlled snake, and capture. Also the snake pole, as a non-heat object can't be detected by the snake except by direct sight, or by accidentally touching the snake and the snake bits the pole versus the human. In any condition, a coiled up snake can have the snake pole and lariat loop placed around the head - coiled head up, or coiled and head hidden - and poking the pole into the snake ball and lassoing the head from the coiled body.

What does any of this have to do with eating snakes? Eating snakes wasn't even mentioned although it is the thumbnail?
it would be jst hook to capture ppl to see the video
It's so annoying when they do this, I wanted to know the answer
Because you're not allowed to kill them.
Snakebait
Good question.
Unless you're bitten or suspect of being bitten,don't report it. Problem solved.
Killing 1 snake in Australia = inviting 100 rats into your area
😅👍
Depends on the snake.

The way they dealt with the venomous spiders is amazing... What a cool country

I love the different pronunciations of "Pipette" 😂 gotta cover all bases
Tiger Snake won't move away... Tiger Snage will charge ate you... even chase you for a while!
Taipans too, and sometimes browns. At least red bellies would rather to almost anything else besides bite you.
Interesting video. Just not the one advertised in the thumbnail. Did not see any farm raised culinary snakes nor was the concept ever addressed at all.
I would not call Tim Faulkner from Australian Reptile Park "regular people"!
He is an expert.

At what time stamp was the title of the video answered?
I hate misleading titles.
In the beginning when its stated that its illegal to kill them.
What was it? I think they changed it.
I often played with my snake during puberty. Now I just watch crappy videos on CZcams.
My snake doesn't produce venom anymore.
FFS just put an accurate title
Fun fact: Snake is a delicacy in Vietnam. The Australian can export snakes there.
Yeah..maybe if you are vietnamese.. My dad stopped eating "meat" and only orderedvegetable dishes at restaurants in Vietnam, after finding snake scales in his dish.
yeah boooy! The Butantan in Brazil is Great! But we do need the caring of the Australia in some places... There are a lot of cases that aren't even in the records... people that live far from cities for example.
I met a girl once who was an amazing snake milker!
I miss hearing Steve talk. Bring him back, ignore all the haters.
George is a crazy man :)
Florida has a ton of anacondas--they ate all the indigenous life at the Everglades.
So, can I continue eating snakes or not?
❤
I like the way you changed the content, keep going
Good morning, Steve! Great information on snakes and antivenom production and spiders. Thank you for sharing!
Yeah that's what I would tell everyone
Hi
Snakes are treated like ppl and they have rights ... if you kill them you can be charged.
so, they banned eating snakes because that would be like cannibalism?
You would think everyone in Australia would have a snake grappling stick if they live in an area with snakes, I would.
Not everyone has a firearms licence.
@@brettchristoffel6391 What does that have to do with a snake stick
They say you are what you eat!
However.. farmed species like Burmese Pythons can be grown for meat.

You did not just call a pipette "pip-it" and using it "pip-it-ing". It's "pipe-ette" and "pie-petting".
Imagine willingly get bitten by a snake, not the smartest end.

Except for the first nations population we have never eaten snakes. Ever. Not watching just responding to the title.
I know you guys don’t eat snakes!

Someone beat me to first.
The main thing is not to bring them other animals, please
So why did Australia ban eating snakes ?
Did you watch the video for 3 seconds?
If you don't understand why, try to eat a snake in Australia, they will explain it to you more clearly
@@gertaaa23678 so it's all about them being dangerous... what if you farmed a non venomous type ?
They are protected thats why. Its so many of them that they could eat them and make many thing from their skins but they're too important for the anti-venoms.
