REPTILE AWARENESS ~ Each week, thanks to Troy, The Reptile Bloke, we share interesting information about reptiles. Stay safe and be nice to snakes.
Venomous vs Deadly
You’ll often hear people refer to venomous snakes as “deadly”, but I’m not a huge fan of this description. Mainly because a lot of the snakes that people refer to as deadly have never actually killed anyone.
For example, the Inland Taipan, despite being the most venomous snake in the world has never caused a single human fatality in recorded history.
Red-Bellied Black snakes are feared by many Australians, but this is another species that doesn’t have a single verified human fatality attributed to it.
Australia has some of the most venomous snakes in the world, for sure, but venomous doesn’t necessarily mean deadly.
There are a lot of other venomous species of snakes that have very low toxicity in their venom, and a bite from one of these species may only produce a mild reaction, I.e. some localised swelling.
Australia averages only 1 or 2 snakebite deaths per year. Most of the time if someone dies from a snake bite, it’s caused by the Eastern Brown Snake. Tiger Snakes have also caused a number of human fatalities, and the main reason these two species have caused more human fatalities is indeed partly due to the toxicity of their venom, but also because they are very common in the same areas where the majority of the human population lives in this country.
Thanks to a number of factors, such as good medical systems and a very straightforward first aid procedure, the overwhelming majority of people bitten by snakes in Australia survive. Snakes in Australia have very short fangs, so a good pair of jeans and sturdy boots is usually adequate to protect you. Furthermore, many times snakes will choose not to inject venom when they bite. This is called a dry bite.
So it’s a bit of a myth that Australia has the deadliest snakes in the world.
Venomous, yes, but not necessarily deadly.
Remember, if you do spot a snake on your property or out in the bush, do not pick it up and try to handle it, nor should you attempt to harm it in any way.
Feel free to call me anytime for advice, identification or snake removal.
