This is a short video s from Rob Bredl who guides us through the list of 5 most venomous snakes in the world. It also shows the man who got bitten by the deadliest of them all - Inland Taipan - and how he survived the bite. It’s a video worth watching. Yaycs! (more…)
I came across this old Steve Irvin’s TV appearance. He did a segment about snakes on the local TV station’s Kids show and as he explains that the snake won’t bite him the little bugger bits him in the neck. It’s quite funny as Steve calmly explains to the anchor lady what just happened.
9 min long battle between viper and little white mouse. Mouse didn’t have a chance, but was fiercely fighting for her life. It did some kicking and scratching while viper was bitting into her head…
King cobras are just amazing. They grow up to five meters in length and one cobra bite contains enough venom to kill 20 adults. That makes her the biggest and the most dangerous snake in the world. Click (more …) to enjoy two more videos. (more…)
A snake like Python Reticulatus or Green Anaconda is big enough to attack, constrict and swallow a big animal like pig (see the video), antelope, cow … They are also known as man eaters. It happens many times that an owner of a big constrictor gets a big hug. Many survive this event because they know what they need to do in the very moment they get constricted:
Pour strong alcohol (vodka, whiskey etc.) directly in the snakes’ mouth.
Pour hot water over the animals’ skin.
The snake will release in a second and that’s when you’ll get your chance to breath again.
A snake is not a domestic animal! It’s a dangerous wild beastwith very basic instincts. If you happen to smell like a pray you might easily become one. So remember! Whenever you are handling a dangerous constrictor make sure to have three things near you: Hot water, alcohol and a strong friend.
I really thought Steve Irwin was the greatest snake maniac ever. Until I saw this cobra attack video. Austin Stevens really goes beyond Steve. He gets bitten by a venomous cobra, rushes away to receive an anti-venom and then comes back the same day just to shoot some close-up photos. Amazing! By the way: I’ve just found some great snake bite first-aid tips. Please read them before any dangerous snake encounters!
In this video you can see a yellow anaconda attacking a little mouse. At first it sits quietly hiding its’ head but the next moment it snaps and you can see the speed and accuracy of a snake attack.
