Steve Irvin gets bitten

YouTube Preview Image

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.

Viper vs. Mouse

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…

Reticulated python and a Squirrel

This squirrel attack needs no explanation. The squirrel has absolutely no idea what’s going to happen.

How large can they grow?

A short video featuring the biggest Anaconda I have ever seen. Look at the muscles. And these slow strong moves. Wow! But what’s with that bird!?

Anaconda crushing a duck

This frame by frame snake attack analysis by National Geographic shows just how strong the anaconda can squeeze. At 90 pounds per square inch!!!

Just imagine 9000 pounds school bus sitting on your chest!

King Cobra is a giant snake!


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…)

Fight constriction with alcohol!

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.

Cobra bites Austin Stevens


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!
