Deadliest Job in the World - Snake Milker | Full Episode | Wildlife of Tim Faulkner 

I was watching this girl one day and she and I were watching this and she says “is his name Steve?” And I say no, why? And she says “just wondering...” she’s too young, she’s only heard of the infamous Steve Irwin 😂

@@chels1542 rightfully so LOL but honestly, Steve was the man!

It’s absolute PASSION for the animals

Not really many jobs

Yep we've been uploading Tim's series to this platform from Season 1. Baby face Tim!

Hey

@@BondiVet lol

Yooo nice vid

Not Aussie snakes, the snakes they are milking are Australian snakes and so they need to make anti venom for local snakes. No point milking snakes who don't live in the area and no anti venom is required.

@@heathergarnham9555 i know the reptile park has mambas and cobras

Maybe to keep the snake as calm as possible? Milking it might increase stress, i have no idea, just guessing.

I think it is because you cant force it to do so, the first time it will bite out of anger and defence, the second time it wont.

THat's literally why they keep the snakes in the tanks in that room. To repeatedly milk them. But you have to give it time between milkings to replenish their venom supply and not to stress them out too much. They usually don't just milk then once, if they can help it.

Devils aren't nasty. Why would you say that? They're just beautiful animals living in their niche. Yes, they do hunt sometimes, usually smaller things like frogs, birds, insects etc, but they prefer to scavenge if they can. Do you think tigers or lions are nasty too? Quolls are also carnivores who mostly hunt the same kind of things as Tassies - small mammals, amphibians, lizards, insects etc. And you can't just give antivenom and be done, it has to be given at the hospital along with other medical treatment like pain medication, fluids, medication to stabilise the blood pressure, heart and/or prevent blood clotting, perhaps even advanced life support, ventilation etc, and perhaps even surgery to cut away the dead and dying tissue from the bite itself - the exact treatment depends on the snake. They also don't make the antivenom themselves, they get the snake venom but it has to be used to make the antivenom elsewhere.

This is just Season 2 Episode 13 of the Wildlife of Tim Faulkner

I have often asked this same question myself. I definitely don’t understand why. Is it for defense purposes against something highly resistant to venom? Or is their primary prey species just harder to kill than what one might think?

It needs to be able to kill instantly, food is very scarce especially in the outback, so they need to be able to kill their food quickly so it doesn't escape.
