There is an island full of deadly venomous snakes near the coast of Australia. It is called Carnac island. The snake species that lives here is the Tiger snake (Notechis scutatus). Supposedly there are about 3 snakes in every 25 square meters! That is an insane abundance of dangerous snakes. The Tiger snake is one of the most venomous snakes in the world. Only a few species of terrestrial snakes, like the Inland taipan or the Eastern brown snakes, have a more toxic venom. The origin of Tiger snakes on Carnac island is a bit of a mystery. In this video we explain why. The island is about 10 km off the coast of Western Australia. No people live here, but this area is home to other animals like skinks, birds and rare Australian sea lions.

Snake handler in Australia, '' Ben Avery'' was bitten by one of these a couple of years ago. He was bitten on the thumb, and done everything right, but still had a horrible time, with his kidney's shutting down, and he was on Renal Dialysis for a couple of weeks.
Show's the potency of the Tiger's venom.
Yes, this species has a very potent venom!
My uncle was bitten on the finger by a brown slowly floating past a stump in the middle of the river out fishing somewhere at the bottom of NT
If it wasnt for the Royal flying doctors he would have died, all is organs were shutting down and needed all the machines hooked up too, it was months before he could be transferred back to vic because he was obviously rushed to S.A.
Then more months of treatments at home..
Even if you do survive your body can be permanently damaged by either a brown or tiger and life changing

Just stunning photography as usual. The colouring of the tiger snakes is wonderful, a truly beautiful snake.
Glad you enjoyed it! We spent only about 6-7 hours on the island, so to find snakes and film them was a tough job!
I know. Why do a lot of gorgeous Snakes have to be deadly? lol
But, as long as one keeps a safe distance and respects it, their shouldn't be a problem!
Yet most lethal snake 😢
I hate snake it's killing machine
@@rabiudauda5381 They're just another predator, and don't forget that they help keep the rat population in check. I would rather have Snakes than the bubonic plague.
Sounds like the island off of Brazil with the lighthouse on it. Its heavy population of deadly snakes makes it off-limits to everyone except service personnel for the lighthouse, and scientists studying the snake population.
We hope to get to that island near Brazil in the future!
Island da queimada grande, fica em São Paulo
@@jeffersonpaulo502 Yes, that’s the name of that island near Brazil.
I love Brazil, but a HUGE abundance of 2 step Snakes would make me NERVOUS!! When it comes to venomous Snakes, I get ophidiophobia just as bad as any ophidiophobiac Snake chicken! lol
@@texasrockshillcountry6574 Haha, we love places with many snakes! Makes it easy for us to find them! :)
Wonderful, as always. The footage of the sea lions is amazing!
Many thanks! Great that you love the sea lion footage! :)
Lies again? Trash Garbage Rubbish
Have you guys heard of King and Mount Chappell Islands ?
They have monster, all black tiger snakes that grow thick and close to 2 plus meters in length.
Awesome to see this team still working around Australia.
We know about those two islands, maybe we will have a chance to visit them in the future! Thanks for watching!
I was about to mention Mount Chappell Island, but saw you beat me to it! We also have Snake Island in southern Tasmania, in the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, however I camped there once in the 1990s and didn’t see a single snake… 🤣
@@NoName-ds5uq We know that there are other cool snake islands around Australia, it would be cool to visit at least one in the future!
Skull island has the biggest reptiles and gorillas on the planet
@@oldskolacura9798 Maybe next time we will make a video about Skull island :D
Best snake channel on youtube!
Thank you so much, we appreciate it!
The islands in Bass Strate have a separate “island tiger” snake growing to nearly 1800mm, six feet. These live on Muton Bird ( Shearwater) chicks. Thus they only feed once or twice a year, as they are limited in the size of chicks they can swallow.
Yes, there are more islands which have Tiger snakes. Thanks for watching.
Thanks, great video showing us the insight of the tiger snake as usual very well shot.
Many thanks, great that you still love our videos! 🙂
Thank you so much for making this video it’s so awesome and the snakes are beautiful I love their colors and the sea lions are so adorable
You are so welcome! Great that you love our new video!
Awesome video as usual ! Was on garden island couple months ago and there's loads there too
Thank you so much! Great to hear that there are many snakes on the other island too!
Garden island which you can see in the video has southern death adder and dugites as well as tiger snakes 🐍
Another superb video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
You always produce fascinating videos filled with great information, I always look forward to your latest posts. 👍
Thank you so much for your comment! It is awesome that you love our content! 🙏
I appreciate the surrounding sounds and words for captions instead of a voice and musak.
Thank you, great that you like our style of videos!
Incredibly beautiful video! I've been going through some rough days and trying to distract myself with CZcams videos, this is the first video in a long time where I forgot about time and my troubles for a while
Thank you so much! We hope that your days will be better soon, you can check more calm videos on our channel!
Awesome clip, beautiful snakes!
Thank you very much, great that you love it!
Really great nature documentary. Thankyou
Thank you very much for watching!
WOW, big Tiger at 1-19. They have beautiful scaly heads, and coloring, and oh so venomous.
Some of these Tiger snakes were beautiful! Thanks for watching!
Love this channel...❤
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Great Job!👍
Thank you very much!
Presumably if all these snakes descended from an original small group, it would be confirmed in DNA testing? Very sad story about the snake showman.
Would you be able to get permission to film on Snake Island off Sao Paulo?
Very nice film.
The general genetic diversity of populations around Perth is very low so scientists were not able to pinpoint the origin of Carnac island snakes. We tried to get to the island close to Sao Paulo twice, it is not easy.
They are much bigger than the mainland Tigers around Perth probably due to the abundance of food, eggs and seagull chicks.
Yes, some Tiger snakes on the island are bigger than those on the mainland.
Their iridescence is really quite beautiful in the right light.
Yes! Thank you for watching!
thanks, very interesting !
Glad you liked it!
I’m writing this comment on a plane to Australia right now. Thanks for giving me a new destination on my trip!
Thank you for watching! Enjoy your trip!
Actually I’m flying to Perth too. Would the snakes be active during the winter?
@@fishincheap1102 They are on such a small space so the chance of finding some is realistic 🙂
I wouldn’t be going to that island it’s dangerous and I’m not sure if they have an anti-venom just a word of the wise
@@ilovebluegrass5493 polyvalent anti-venom for tiger snakes is readily available and Perth is a short ways away. I’m also very comfortable around venomous snakes.
Garden island is much the same. Not far from Carnac island, but most of the tiger snakes there, have had their eyes pecked out by seagulls, to stop them from taking their chicks. Its available by land, so it would seem unlikely that the snake population is introduced.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. 👍🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
Amazing just amazing
Thanks for watching!
Do you have any video featured the sea snake or sea krait?
We have some shots of sea kraits here: m.czcams.com/video/p76ACnz33Dk/video.html
Another really interesting documentary, i live in the UK and have never heard of this island before. I also cannot remember if i have seen a tiger snake before on here, beautiful scenery and wildlife.
Thank you very much! This is the first time we are showing our footage of the Tiger snake, more will come in the future!
You're welcome, i enjoy watching these videos very much. Always informative and entertaining.
Carnac Island is a very small island still in a natural state, there's a bigger much more well known island close by situated in a north westerly direction named Rottnest island.
The home of the Quokka and there are also Dugite snakes.
@@peterlangford8240 Many thanks, some very interesting wildlife there.
The sea lions are so cute! ❤
We agree, it was absolutely awesome to see them from such a close distance!
Je suis fasciné par la faune reptilienne de l'Australie. Le serpent tigre est impressionnant, il doit faire plus d'un mètre. Des belles images, de beaux animaux. Vous avez raison, sans musique, c'est beaucoup mieux, plus naturel. Merci ! ( de France).
Thank you very much, great that you love our video!
Notes on snakes:
1. They can have a venomous bite.
2. I think that they do not have eyelids, therefore, do they have problems with the glare of the sun.
3. Their "light" range is different from us, therefore do they see more of the light spectrum?
4. They use their tongue to smell.
5. They shed their skins.
6. They are cold blooded.
7. They like heat.
8. They can swim in water.
9. They eat meat, but are then satisfied for a while after a meal.
10. When they mate they lay eggs.
11. They strike fast when provoked.
12. Are they front fanged or rear fanged?
13. What kind of poison do the venemous snakes contain, for example, does the poison attack the nervous system?
14. Does it flatten its head?
15. Can its venom be milked?
2. They have a brille or eye cap, it evolved by fusing both eyelids. As far as we know, they don't have specific problems with the glare of sun.
3. We don't think they see a different light spectrum. Some snakes have pit organs but those are not visual organs.
11. Some snakes are ovoviviparous.
12. Many snakes don't strike at all, even if provoked.
13. Some snakes are front fanged, some rear fangs, some don't have fangs.
14. Main types of toxins are neurotoxins, myotoxins, cytotoxins, hemotoxins.
15. Some snakes flatten their neck when feeling threatened.
16. You can milk snakes for venom.
I note Carnac Island is slightly south of the port city of Fremantle. A nearby popular tourist attraction is Rottnest Island. I have taken this trip. I believe we were also warned about snakes there, but didn’t see any that day. Rottnest is a fun place to visit and bicycle around! Always something to kill you in Australia, but pretty place! I’ve been there 5 times. Always something interesting to see!
Australia is cool and we love that there are many snakes! Thanks for watching!
Sheeez, what a place to be put for quarantine. Wouldn't be many left by the time they are quarantined.
Yes, if the snakes were there already at that time, it would have been a tough place to stay for a longer time.
Snake 🐍 Island Is Certainly Earned Their Name For Fame & There’s Countless Discoveries To Be Made 😮
Thank you for watching! This place is amazing for sure!
A fascinating story. If the tiger snake is an introduced species I wonder if the ecological equilibrium of the island has changed. Has Carnac Island's seabird population altered between 1900 and 2000 and are the tiger snakes involved? Made me think of the introduction of the brown tree snake to Guam.
Yes, this island has a fascinating history! We haven't found any data about the population change of nesting birds in 1900-2000. Silver gulls nest throughout almost the whole year and some nest more than once. It is possible that the arrival of snakes just caused the fact that more gulls nest more than once per year.
Them snakes would also eat the skinks and each other,cannibalistic etc
The population of silver gulls in the metropolitan area of Perth is much larger now than it was in the past, due to the greater population of humans and their effluent streams providing a rich source of food - landfills, stormwater drains, rubbish bins etc. All of the offshore islands are utilised for breeding and I seriously doubt there would be any evidence of an impact of the snakes on the number of gulls using the island, or the population of gulls in general.
Thanks. You've put this island on my bucket list. I'm in Adelaide so it's not too far.
Thanks for watching! It is a very cool place!
My favorite snake
Tiger snakes are awesome!
Looks like a Sea Lion vacation destination the way they are chilling out.
Yes, they were chilling properly!
First filming snakes and after this go swimming with sea lions... Sounds like the perfect hollydays...🤗🙃
It was a great working day! Super cool time on the island!
Are they front fanged or rear fanged?
Tiger snakes have front fangs.
I AM STAYING FAR FAR FAR AWAY FROM THAT DEADLY AND DANGEROUS PLACE
This is definitely not a place for everyone!
Are you an American?
@@ClivePotts-ns5hd HELL YES AND I AM PROUD TO SAY IT
I'm so jealous!
Thanks for watching! :)
I know you mainly focus on snakes, but those sea lions were beautiful.
Thanks for watching! Filming those sea lions was awesome!
I respect & like snakes as i do all wildlife,they have their place in life,eco system..walk heavy in the bush,long grass,youll never see them,walk lightly and chances are you will & even step on them.
Thank you for watching and for respecting snakes! ❤️
@@LivingZoology that's cool,grown a few "pot" plants out there,it's fun, enjoyable,learn something new every time.u should keep doing snake video,s ppl like to watch them,there's plenty of content to put up.
@@Paul-hp6zp We will certainly keep creating videos about snakes!
Do u need permission 2 visit Carnac island? We have loads of seals in Scotland. When my children were playing in the sea a few years ago a young seal approached them it seemed fascinated at their beach ball!!
As far as we know, you don’t. It was so cool to see how playful sea lions can be!
You are not allowed on the island without permission from the relevant authorities.
Evolution in progress, snakes changing to survive in a different environment
Yes, it is always amazing to see these examples of rapid evolution!
Not evolution, but adaptation.... totally different.
@@anitacraighead7038 that is what evolution is
Tiger snake
King Cobra
Red bellied black snake
Rinkhals
Mulga snake
Dugite
Eastern brown snake
They all belong to same Family
Different than other elapids
In what are the species you mentioned different from other elapids according to you?
Do they flatten their heads before they strike?
They often flatten their necks when they feel threatened. However, they can strike even without hooding.
Tigers and lions on that one small island 🙂
Haha, yes! Thank you for watching!
Poor snek. Can I visit the Island to bring them frogs?
They found a different source of food there.
@@LivingZoology I know... But their favorite food is frogs you said. I wish to treat them XD
10km from the shoreline and you call it "Near Australia"
Sorry that it bothers you.
Notes on snakes:
1. They can have a venomous bite.
2. They do not have eyelids, I think.
3. Their "light" range is different from us, therefore, do they see more of the light spectrum?
4. They use their tongue to "smell".
5. They shed their skins.
6. They are cold blooded.
7. They like heat.
8. They can swim in water.
9. They eat meat, but are then satisfied for a while after a meal.
10. When they mate, they lay eggs.
11. They strike fast when provoked.
2. They have an ocular scale, also called the brille or the eye cap, resulting from fusion of dorsal and ventral eyelids.
3. Some snakes have pit organs which help them to sense infrared thermal radiation, but they don’t see it with their eyes.
10. Many snakes are ovoviviparous, meaning that eggs hatch inside a female and she gives birth to live young.
11. Many snakes don’t strike at all and try to escape, play dead, hide their head under their body…Snakes have many types of defensive behavior.
12. Are they front fanged or rear fanged?
@@ClivePotts-ns5hd Tiger snakes have front fangs.
13. Do they flatten their heads before they strike?
@@ClivePotts-ns5hd Sometimes yes, sometimes not.
No Fresh Water.. The regular prey of Frogs doesn't exist there.. Small Island with seasonal/limited prey opportunities....
Life, Uh... Finds a way.
Thank you for watching!
What is the food source ?
Thanks for watching! The info is in the video.
Dingos and wallabiez
Wonder how they survive out there without fresh water, and what do they eat without frogs I wonder.
Did you watch the video? We mention what they eat…
@@LivingZoology Not all. I had to go to work, I will watch it later. I just read that its main food Frogs were absent.
Did you see any tiger snakes flaring their necks like a cobra? I have footage of this behaviour from Stirling ranges in Western Australia.
Yes, on the mainland many individuals do that.
Hello how are you
We are fine! How are you?
I'm good too. How are both of you.
Some places really aren't fit for human habitation ! Leave it to the snakes !
We agree, some places should stay absolutely natural!
❤🙏
Thanks for watching!
Mobarak fan here
Thank you for watching! 🙂
It's not near Australia, it's in Australia.
It is near the coast of Western Australia.
@@LivingZoologyI used to live in Perth it is still a part of the geographical area of Australia.
at the end of the last glacial period? what did they craw across the Ice? wtf
There was still no ice in most parts of the Earth in the last glacial period you know.
If anyone in Melbourne know my daughter Lucy and grandchildren, Jemima and Max, please give them all my love. From father and grandfather. England, March, 2024.
Nice that you have a daughter in Australia!
"Attention russian warship.... actually, sure. The island is yours. Have fun"
Thanks for watching.
snake island is a paradise compared to what Canberra led by albosleezy has become. That's the real snake island
Thanks for watching!
I bet housing is cheap there
There are no houses.
zdravím zase od vás nádhera v Oceanii tedy jestli tam patří Austrálie a okolíbych nechtěl žít mě stačí srdce Evropy a jeden jedovatý had a ty ostatní ze světa chovat v lidské péči bohužel zase EU na nás chovatele kuje pikle a chcou nám úplně zakázat chov třeba i hlodavců činčila křečík ale imigrante jsou v pořádku díky s pozdravem Petr.
Děkujeme za sledování! Nám v Evropě chybí jedovatí hadi, zajet si do Austrálie je drahé a cesta trvá dlouho 😀
Good place for King Cobra
Thanks for watching!
Too bad seals don’t eat snakes
Thanks for watching.
frogs are missing ! that's cause the snakes ate them all
Thanks for watching!
The island is not safe for human habitation.
Not really and it is good that only animals live there.
Who cares about the ones on the island?
Most snake catchers down south are finding tigers and browns in people homes
Thanks for watching.
Focus... we are talking about snakes not seals :)
Our video is about a snake island so we wanted to show all inhabitants of the place :)
FYI Sea Lions are NOT Seals!! And the video is of the island and the snakes. Don't be rude
@@anitacraighead7038 Thanks for your supporting comment 🙂
@@anitacraighead7038The video is whatever its creator wants it to be - your critique is pointless and unwarranted.
This snake is enormously beautiful...seriously. 🥺
We agree! Tiger snakes are awesome!
@@LivingZoology Definetely the coolest elapids, along with Eastern Browns & Inland Taipans, as well. 😎
Notechis scu./ater is my Nr 1 snake . (2 crotalus durissus terrificus /3 bushmaster(lachesis)❤
