00:00Eastern brown snakes are often found in urban backyards in the springtime when
00:07males run in search of a mate. Also known as the common brown, these snakes are
00:13highly venomous and are responsible for over 60% of Australian snake bite
00:19fatalities over the last 20 years.
00:30Oh yep yep yep it's still there so it's actually still sort of curled, come in
00:34just be nice and slow. Oh look at him. Yeah see him there. He's got some banding too, doesn't he?
00:40Yeah, he looks fat. Yeah Andy, it's definitely a brown snake.
00:45Well good on you Kent. Yeah it's a decent size too. Eastern browns are extremely fast and can
00:51be quick to defend themselves, especially if they feel threatened. I'll get you to
00:56hang back there and just what that your job is to watch that hole. All right dude
01:00there is so much room for him to escape out there.
01:19There's just not a lot of room for Stewie to move at the moment.
01:25He's on me hey, he's S&R. Things have the potential to go very, very bad.
01:37Got him. Man this thing is big. Holy do it, okay. Watch your step coming out. Yeah yeah,
01:45bear with me Jesso. He is like full of rodents.
01:49You're good. Handle first. And this is huge. Eastern browns have a strike speed of up to six
01:59feet per second. Jesso, if you can come around behind me. And are regarded as the second most
02:09venomous snake in the world. Come around behind me and pass me the handle first. Excellent.
02:19That there is a very impressive snake. Look how fat he is. All right Jesso, I'm going to bag him
02:25up. Check it out. Oh man. Get in there. Get in there. Oh man. Have a look at the size of him.
02:36Wow, that is a big snake.
