The Snake Bite

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!

    What a psycho!!! If you encounter a snake in the wild you better just let it be. This guy was obviously looking for trouble and he got it. Good thing also he got bitten in his right arm since it’s farther from the heart then the left. Lucky man, lucky man…

    Mr.Stevens is the worlds best herpetologist out there and he knows all the risks in what he is doing. He has such a passion for snakes that he doesnt care if he gets bitten, he just wants to do what he loves best. By the way only one of the snakes fangs cut the vein so he could squeeze out the venom nicely, because the fang cut his finger and not injected. On a re-cap show “most Striking Moments” He talks about how it didn’t strike like a normal cobra and that it actually moved forwards to his hand and struck, instead of the usual cobra way of striking with said length of body downwards.

    Austin, howzit?
    The first time that I saw you I thought you were a bit strange. As I watched on I enjoyed watching you chasing snakes and diving after them.
    I have enjoyed your enthusiasm, so make sure that you dont get bitten again. I realise that you really know what you are doing, to us non-snake people it looks quite dangerous.
    Take care hey? that means you keep doing exciting programs!
    God bless

    Oh my shattered nerves. I have always had an absolute fear of snakes so much so that cant even watch a tv show with them, however tonight watched Austin Stevens in his top 7 snakes programe on animal and for first time ever ( im 50) was so fasinated by the snakes. I was glued to the tv and almost found the snakes beautiful!!What an amazing show!
