MILKING VENOMOUS SNAKES | AUSTRALIAN REPTILE PARK 

Hats off to Zac and others who collect venom to produce anti venom. These guys _literally_ put their lives at risk every single working day to be able to produce life saving anti venom. Thank you!

See, I love how they give so much Information about the snakes and their venom. It's nice because there's no dramatic music or anything.

God bless you fellas. The world needs more mates like you two.

Hey guys thanks for all you do. I have always loved the reptile park, I have been visiting since it was in Wyoming prior to the new park in somersby.. I have been involved in the feeding program for the snakes over the years in my trade and everyone here is the best there is at their game. I love to visit and bring my kids up as well now I'm older

Who's here from brave wilderness?

I'm not sure entirely why, but Zac looks like he's the nicest dude ever. I would love to be friends with him

Good on you guys! Videos like this need to be shown in schools across the country. Such incredible work what Zac and the team are doing, and unfortunately not many people are aware of what goes on behind the scenes to help save lives.

Milking venomous snakes with Tim in the same room, Zac has nerves of Tungsten.

Love you guys. Takes balls the size of Texas to do what you guys do

The death adder is literally the fastest striking snake on the planet, along with the puff adders. They can strike a balloon twice before it pops. Absolutely crazy

I really love these videos, thank you both for your bravery and I pray that you will both always be safe. Side note: Zac makes it look so easy! What a champ!

Thank you for the amazing but very very scary video. Stay safe and best wishes from Germany!

Thank you, Zac for being so brave. And thank you Tim for educating us! Now I know what to do if myself or a loved one gets bitten by a rattlesnake or a copper head which are local where I live, probably not as deadly as the one's in Australia, but still very dangerous!

You guys are both amazing!

Tim, you may be in love with your snakes, you might be extremely knowledgeable but I rather not even be in the same room, I have quite a phobia. Good for you.

G'day Tim & Zac, 😲 Wow! You do an Awesome Job at ARP, I am not scared of snakes & will take any offer to hold a "Non Venomous' one, but I got shivers every time Zac got one out & then wiggled his finger 😬😬😬😬😬

Love these videos!!!! Awesome

I loved this video and have learnt so much about snakes. Thanks guys you are doing an incredible job 😁

I could watch Zac handle snakes all day

Excellent presentation and work guys!

Great content guys, glad you guys do it because there's no way I could!

Great episode thankyou. Keep up the great work.👍

Zac is like totally cool under pressure while Tim gets an arm workout while he talks to the media,lol

Not grandma's potato masher!! 😂

Thank you,for the presentation.

I could listen to this guy talk all day long..

Amazing video guys!

They have the snakes in a recycling bin😂😂

Thank you

Tim you are a goober!

WOW!!!!! Amazing job !!!

I didn’t realize you supplied venom for the production of anti venom for the whole country! What a responsibility. How many venomous snakes do you keep at the zoo for this purpose?

That was so awesome information

Professional professionals!!!

I would love to do this work. I knw its dangerous but really love it. Enjoy these lads work

This man was in Brave Wilderness video

Zac looks a bit like Chris Tall 😊 amazing job 👏🏻

They are beautiful animals

Much respect.

I love snakes!

Why this man is so talkative 🤣 dude plz just let us watch what we want 🙂

Good Tim

Question: So Where does the anti-venom for Red-belly black snake come from? Great job Tim and Zac.

That King Brown's name is Chewi and he or she broke the record in 2016 for most venom milked which was 1500 mg

21:47 in the USA: Save money, stay calm!

Brave Wilderness ❤️💚

Great job Zac and Tim. I wonder if the antivenom could cure the corona virus.

tim I love you

7:55 "they don't want to waste (their venom)" Yep! They don't want to waste their lunch money on us.

300 lives a day? Basically saving a life everyday. Except the weekends. Lol

you are so brave

I wouldn't mind doing that one day

Fucken top vid lads

♥ 🙏

Imagine someone getting sacked from here and not paid his wages coming in to find all snakes released lol

We’ve done medical evals. Where we have seen patients not be as bad when they’ve ran out of the woods on rattle snakes. We are thinking that maybe it’s diluting the venom and spreading it around The body out of limbs. But I wouldn’t try it on extreme neuro toxic venom or the top tier venoms. This was done on diamond backs and mostly rattle snake varieties. Which goes against what I was originally taught. But it’s like clock work. Everybody that has to travel on foot some distance to get help they don’t seem to have the severe symptoms like the stationary people. We are still looking at it and will in years to come.

You might answer this in the video but before I forget, how long would it take for their venom to regenerate after being totally milked?

Came across a massive king brown on the way to a beach picnic in the middle of the road I was too scared to get out the car but i didn’t want it to get run over so I started splashing it with my water bottle and it got mad but got off the road.

Watching Mike Perry at South African Anti Venom plant is so interesting,I watch every video I see posted,and of here when I see them,nice and entertaining. I know repetition creates retention,but wish Zack would slow down,it is one little awkward moment of ''Awry'' ,when that one mis-step can happen..Like Mr Irwin,One Million Victories,but that one defeat is all that will be remembered.(Rip salute)........Slipping past beaker ,or snake reverse necks,or bites through bottom mouth or finger tangled moving so quickly.Mike Perry uses fixed beaker,and I'm guessing that is reason as he is missing a digit..Your necking SOP seemed safer than his.Bet if you both combined methods,could create safest SOP on earth for Harvesting.(Just observation from the cheap seats)lol. The floating beaker method probably great for the species that lock on to pump venom,like King Brown,Gaboon,Cobra's,to prevent broken fangs..Must be the reasoning..No expert here,just interested am I...Great Demo..

I was here from brave wilderness

These guys r the real tough guys but whats up with the darkness. Lol

I love snakes

Still glad I don't live in Australia, adders in the UK are rare and a lot safer.🐍

how long does it take the snakke to replennish its venom

The freaking size of that King Brown😬😬😬😬😬😬!

These guys do an equally as good a job as Australia Zoo,but Venmon production is very important to Australians.

Would a tiger snake bite penetrate a 3mm wetsuit a person may be wearing?

5:23 his finger was in the way!😳

If I'm there imma be like *Yep time to bail*

Has reptile zoo ever been with brave wilderness

I would love to know what the compounds or proteins in these venoms are made of . And would it be possible to replicate these various venoms in a laboratory instead of let's say milking particular species of snake to get the required amount of anti venom.

What is the world's deadliest snake? From Charlotte, 7 years old

Do those stats “strongest venom in the world” include sea snakes? Or only land ??

i would do the video and add the audio later on. too dangerous talking and trying to show to people. Could be distracting and... put them in danger... Is amazing what they do to save lives. It is a tremendous contribution. Good education to all of us. May God protect them.

It was my dream to have this job when I was a child.

Why did he say they don't milk Inland Taipans? I literally just watched the same place milk one!! 😕

It'd be a Good"Work for the Dole"program,it'd get lazy Kuntz looking for work,or milk some Dangerous Snakes.

Slow down dude we hear you

I live in Australia I snake of my own and I’ve been here two to three or doming but my snake is non venomous so he’s fine and all Australians know the diamond spotted python stimy python witch is short for it acuactul name and more

I can't understand the accent, what's the name of the snake from min 9? The small snake

I don’t think I’ve ever heard so much waffling in my life that I did in this video, How many energy drinks do you need to be able to move your mouth this much?

What if u feed snakes vegemite?

Ive heard black mamba venom can potentially make new pain killers. Is this true?

Yeah getting bit by a s ven is not fun. Copped a tag from an eastern brown. It felt like one of my neohjnouts had shot me with a pellet gun, Looked up and about then down and saw mr hiss hiss. Bloody long lawn!. Called the ambos rright away and bandaged my leg up. Then (I know, stupid move) went out back and scruffed the snake, got him right behind the jaw. Please don't do this - it was a dumb move, you could get bitten again. I stuffed him into a pillow slip and tied a knot in the top. One eastern brown bagged and ready!. He got released a few days later. I needed 14 ampoules of antivenom!!

Professional jobs

Omg 😳 you so drave omg 😱

That mobile lady hands are fucked up for 24mins she is very angry on that blah blah guy😂

Wish you would stop waving ya hands around, you'll scare the shit outta the snake's 😂

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

My daughter in law’s dog copped a bite from a Tiger snake last year. Very nasty experience.

i would rather clear a land mine field then work that job, mines are predictable, snakes are not🤔

How many people have 🐝 been saved by this venom?

Cwk aku nyuruh nnton ni video gtau p mksdna dik. Apkh ak punya venom wrwrwrwr

And I caught a brown snake a few weeks back by accident while looking for mice shit!!!!

Can anyone tell me why Zac was removing plastic everytime he milked a snake?

I was feeding my goats the other day and I saw my cat paw at the ground, so I walked over to see what it was. It was a copperhead, and I didn't know what to do because it's illegal to kill snakes where I live. My mamaw and papaw wasn't around me, so I got some big bricks and put it on its head. What should I do if that happens again?

omy gat

0:49 the Karen snakes ?

Who can extract the venom?!?!

Would have been nice to show more of the snake, to explain to visitors of our country, eg head shapes etc to quickly identify venomous and non-venomous. And the narrative , informative, but mate, come up for air , geezzzz
