Yeah I like snakes.... especially all the really venomous ones in Australia.

They are actually very beautiful and fantastic to look at.....

While I am overwhelmed with the desire to pick them up and give them a kiss and a cuddle and to scratch their tummies, while going, "Ohhhhh aren't you beautiful!", and play clap handies and give them cups of tea and scones with jam and cream, I don't think they are particularly into that, or reading bible scripture together either.

Matter of fact, I think they would express their discontent by biting me, probably several times, because they hate stupid cunts, and their idiotic bullshit, who just have to go and fuck with them....

Although the scientifically based argument of which snake is the most poisonous in the whole world is kind of moot, because if your dead in 30 minutes or 45 minutes, it's sort of pointless after you are actually dead....


This is so far, the most poisonous snake in the world - the Inland Taipan...

Venom and Toxicity

Venom Characteristics

The inland taipan’s venom is comprised of several neurotoxins, hemotoxins, myotoxins, as well as a range of nephrotoxins. When combined, these toxins rapidly subdue the snake’s victims through a concerted attack on the body’s nervous system, organs, blood, and muscular-skeletal system. The inland taipan’s venom is particularly potent against mammals (believed to be an evolutionary trait), making the snake both extremely dangerous and deadly to humans.

Inland Taipan Bite Symptoms and Treatment

As a result of the inland taipan’s remarkably high levels of neurotoxins in its venom, single bites often prove fatal to humans and animals, alike. In fact, one bite contains enough venom to kill 100 adult men within minutes. Following envenomation, the venom’s neurotoxins rapidly seize control of the victim’s nervous system, causing paralysis, poor blood circulation (due to its clotting properties), and/or convulsions. Headaches, dizziness, myolysis, and extreme vomiting/nausea are also common, along with complete respiratory paralysis (usually occurring 2 to 6 hours following the bite). Renal failure and neurotoxicity are also seen in bite victims, particularly in the final stages of envenomation.

Although taipan-specific antivenoms are available to combat the effects of the snake’s deadly bite, immediate medical care is crucial for survival. The taipan’s venom often takes effect within minutes, with fatalities occurring as early as 30 minutes. Before the development of antivenom in 1956, only two individuals are known to have survived the Inland Taipan’s bite without medical treatment; leaving victims with an almost 100-percent fatality rate without proper care. Currently, the only taipan antivenoms in production are manufactured by the Australian Reptile Park as well as the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories of Melbourne. Despite their effectiveness, significant health issues often follow an inland taipan bite (most notably, heart and muscle damage). Long-term recovery is also necessary; often requiring several weeks of bed rest and intravenous fluids to stabilize the victim’s body.

This is your typical red belly black snake.... fairly common....

The chemistry of snake vemom is particularly fascinating.... In outback nowhere, food is kind of scarce, and to miss a meal, could easily mean starving to death, so the venom has to have almost instant knock down and cripple / kill type effects... AND they work on the nervous system, the muscles and the blood - they basically stop the food in it's tracks... and although the snkes cannot eat people, when people get bit, basically unless you have medical treatment in the form of competent people who know what to do, and have antivenen for this snake type on hand, your basically fucked. AND although medial assistance, might be able to save your life, you could end up being really fucked up from the venoms effect on your heart and brains etc... So they are lovely, and just be careful to not stand on them in the day light or at night or stick your arm down rabbit holes etc... and you should be pretty right. Also avoid "just having to poke at it with a stick" - lots of people get bitten "Cause they just had to go and fuck with it"....
