I like that there are plenty of based zoos/animal sanctuaries that still believe in survival of the fittest in some capacity. They stock antivenom but don't distribute it in cases like this... because fuck literal retards who don't bother with basic protections.
>>
>>4872942
>They stock antivenom but don't distribute it in cases like this...
really?
>>
>>4872945
they stock it so it's available for their staff if they need it (or I guess if the snakes escape and bites little timmy). They don't keep it around for dumpass snake influencers.
>>
>>4872942
doesn't matter in this case. the number of places in the US that have taipan antivenom you can probably count on one hand and i doubt any of them were anywhere near south carolina
>>
I've been microdosing taipan venom since I was 3 months old and I'm feeling fiiiiii
>>
Need an update on this retard jew
>>
>>4872837

He was on a ventilator with organ failure. Had recieved multiple vials of antivenin.
Even if he survives it is likely he will have long term issues. His snakes were seized or transferred to authorities by his father or someone, and many were killed.
Many of those snakes didn't even belong to him but were owned and loaned to him.

Many places with antivenin were unwilling to provide help since he is so foolish in handling and they have limited amounts for thier own staff, and he took longer to get it as a result.
>>
>>4873225
Grim. He's lucky he's alive at all as of the last update. If he'd been bitten by an adult taipan he probably would've died before the hospital could even find someone with antivenom, let alone access it
>>
>>4873232
Aren't babies typically deadlier or is that an urban legend?
>>
>>4873241
It's a myth
>>
>>4873241
Babies are less likely to dry bite because they have less conscious control of their venom release, but adults have way more venom and there’s no difference in potency.

Some snakes are more likely to dry-bite as adults than they are to envenomate, so in those cases the young snakes are more dangerous, but it’s not an inherent fact.
>>
>>4873256
>>4873262
Thanks, good to know since the place I'm moving to has a fuck ton of rattlers.
>>
>>4873267
Most rattlers are pretty safe to live around. Their identifying feature is a bite avoidance structure, after all. Most dogs can be easily trained to avoid them too.
>>
>>4873275
even if they do bite you, rattlesnake bites only have about 1/700 chance of killing you. yeah its a bad fucking day but most people who actually die from rattler bites are kids or drunks.

anyways very sad that they saved this retard. only dumb fucking faggots keep non-native hots as a hobby and only even dumber ones don't acquire antivenom ahead of time.

KWAB. Does this actually happen in Burgerland? I've never seen a single death by snake bite here in Australia.
>>
>>4873433
Deaths by snake bite do occur in the US, but are rare, about 5 or 6 a year on average. Looking it up, Australia has like a death or two every year on average from snake bites; considering that the US has a dozen times more people than Australia that means the average Aussie is more likely to die by snake than the average American, but in both countries it is still a very rare way to go.

>>4873267
I lived in Australia and all you need to do is wear boots and trousers if you're hiking, treat every stick you see as a potential snake, and walk on the paths/tracks. Snakes don't want to bite you they only do it if they feel threatened or you are a doofus and running through the bush and stomp on one. Also always check for snakes if you're moving logs around outside or have to go through grass or at a woodpile or anything like that use your intelligence, also learn what to do if you do get bit and stay calm

This is why no one's ever died from them, they're just so goddamn far from literally anything they dont get the chance except for retards like the above.

What a fucking deserving retard.
It's one thing if you don't know what the tiny snake is and you pick it up thinking it's harmless, but this fuckstick identified it correctly and still thought he could handle it like it was a damn nightcrawler.

It happens but rarely. Most of our venomous snakes are either very good about telling you to fuck off, at staying out of the way, or are just not super confrontational. With the exceptions (copperheads mainly) not being all that deadly
>>
did he die yet
someone update
>>
>>4874935
He posted to facebook last night.
>#notdeadyet

other than that no updates. I suppose he'll be begging for someone to donate him a kidney next.
>>
>>4874679
There's a very good chance he'd be dead if he didn't get any antivenom; the venom lab in Miami probably flew some over to him, they handle a lot of dumbass cases like this on the east coast. The antivenom that covers taipans is stupid expensive, a lot of US zoos don't bother keeping Australian elapids just because of the antivenin costs and there's very few people who legally privately keep venomous snakes in the US, let alone Australian elapids.
>>
>>4874729
This, but unironically
>>
>>4874947
Even if he doesn't die, the complications of not having working kidneys and having to do dialysis would make him wish he was

grim stuff if you really think about it
>>
>>4874649
you learned about 4chan from text to speech greentext tiktoks, and I recommend you return.
>>
>>4874679
I'm sure they'd be more forthcoming with the stuff if it were in more plentiful supply, but by giving it away they risk one of their own zookeepers/conservationists/visitors/etc dying or suffering lifechanging injury (and potential lawsuits that may follow) if they don't have any replacement antivenom available in time, so it's not that irrational to be hesitant about giving their stock to someone who got bitten acting like a dumbass for facebook likes.
>>
>>4874729
hey anon, you've got an extra kidney right?
and you're just gonna...keep it?
what a monster!
>>
>>4875099
Yep, dialysis is a slow death, but it'll still kill him.
>>
>>4874720
Its only rare because theres no reason to produce a lot of it
Surely if someone needs to use it they can just make more?
Isnt that the whole point of it?
>>
>>4875442
Antivenin takes weeks to produce a batch of.
>>
RN here. I've worked both in the kidney ward and later specialised in ICU.
Even if he pulls through to the point where they can discharge him his life is fucking fucked and it won't be a long one.
Dumbass deserves it both for handling the snake and for having that last name. Wonder what the hospital bill will be.
>>
>>4875471
>>4875442
And since its a biological product it likely has an expiration date on top of that, and unless they specifically add preservatives to it its likely a short one.
>>
>>4875474
A while ago I found a video of a nature photographer talking about getting tagged by a rattlesnake and the entire process of hisbhealing and stuff, and at the end he presented his medical bill of about $250,000, most of which ended up getting paid by his insurance. Considering the level of care he's receiving and the tume involved Id expect no less than seven digits.

>just make more lol
People really underestimate the cost and time needed to produce biochemicals. Especially for something like antivenom which requires you to extract venom from the snake and use it on a horse, whose antibodies you extract
>>4875475
It can be stored near indefinitely with antifreeze like ethylene glycol but yeah, there's no guarantee that it'll retain it's composition forever
>>
>>4875767
>>just make more lol
This but unironically
Everything costs money and takes time
>>
>>4875475
Thats an argument in favor of using it
>>
>>4875812
My point was that there's probably not all that much because its so rare, so all that would likely exist is a specific (and likely small) amount that they periodically have to refresh. I doubt anyone is hoarding it, iys likely that there just isnt very much of it anywhere.
Keep in mind its not just a bottle of cure poison and youre good to go, you usually need to have antivenin administered multiple times based on how youre doing at the moment, how much you envenomated, and even where on your body you were bit.
The photographer mentioned in >>4875479 got something along the lines of 32 vials throughout his treatment. If he had been bit in a similar fashion that WASNT native to the area he probably would have had a far rougher go of things simply because they didnt have that much of whatever they needed available.
Fuck, now that I think of it there might not even be much of an extensively detailed bite protocol for inland taipans because so few people have ever gotten bitten.
>>
>>4875824
>bite protocol for inland taipans

>Antivenom as soon as possible
>Treat symptoms as they appear
>Pray
>>
>>4875834
it's a little bit more complicated than that. see pic related, they usually give the specific kinds of toxins in the venom as well as antivenin types and sources. some I've seen will even have dosage recommendations, though that's probably also available from the manufacturer.
>>
>>4875475
It does indeed expire. Most zoos keep expired antivenom in addition to fresh antivenom anyway because hey, it MIGHT work.
>>4875812
That gets back to the problem of antivenom that covers Australian elapids being so rare in the US. Someone in Fiji isn't likely to have a snow shovel but probably does have sandals. Someone in Australia could get antivenom for a taipan easily but not for an eastern diamondback rattlesnake.
This is all on top of the fact that snakebites are very rare in the US because very few people are as stupid as this guy. Even antivenom for native species, while usually stocked at hospitals, isn't exactly hoarded, and they've even stopped bothering making coral snake antivenom because it'd just sit on shelves and expire.
>>
>>4875809
Making antivenom carries a significant risk of death.
>>
>>4875885
Source? Is it really more risky than logging, fishing or even truck driving?
>>
>>4875508
Assuming he wasn't bit directly into an artery, how quickly does snake venom spread into the bloodstream? Should he have instantly resorted to tourniquet followed by amputation or would it have been pointless?
>>
>>4873426
Animals being animals as usual pay for humans being idiots.
>>
>>4875896
>Is it really more risky than logging, fishing or even truck driving?
First I need to know that you understand
If one person dies milking snakes that's a much higher risk than if 5000 truckers die driving trucks.

do you get that?
percentages? You understand percentages?

Like another anon said he'll eventually die but it will be a slow and painful death. Just the fact he's on dialysis means he's absolutely fucked, and likely he has damage in multiple other organs. Docs are pretty good at keeping people alive at the hospital but high chances that guy won't leave for too long.

Could he survive with a kidney transplant?
Because if that's the case, I'm gonna need assurance that they wouldn't actually waste precious organs on someone with this little sense of self-preservation

>>4876117
The only way I can see this guy ever getting a kidney is by having a relative who is willing to donate and also is compatible. The chances of that are already slim, and if he is as much of an asshole IRL as he appears on the couple of screenshots posted here he might have fucked himself out of that option.
>>
>>4876117
Not completely sure how it works in the US but due to his circumstances he should be very low on the transplant queue, so unless he pays for it then yeah he should be fucked.

Sort of. Long enough to get your affairs in order, but organ transplants suck.
You have to take immunosuppressants or tissue rejection will always happen, and that means it's only a matter of time until malignant tumors kill you. And sometimes tissue rejection happens anyways.
This guy is not worth that effort regardless.
>>
>>4876174
Well, yeah, I'm well aware of the complications surrounding organ transplants. Been there, done that
That's why I was concerned over whether or not the US has transplant guidelines lax enough to allow him to recieve an organ despite having proven himself too dumb to be trusted with one

that's what I was thinking. He's feeling suicidal but when it comes down to the actual dying part he chickens out and doesn't go through with it.

a couple days before he got bit someone asked him what he'd do if he got bit since he didn't have antivenom. He answered "Die?" But when it came time to die he backed out

I noticed a lot of people who claim to be suicidal or want to die can't bring themselves to do it. I know I wouldn't be able to.

Update: he posted on Facebook bragging up getting it on video. No regret about the snakes and surviving has just inflated his ego, so hopefully either medical debt or organ failure will correct that

the zoos refused to take them because they were all maltreated and had obvious signs of illness, nobody wants to bring a sick snake into their collection and risk everything getting it and dying.

this guy should be banned from owning any animals for the rest of his life (hopefully a year or two at most).

I like most animals other than bugs. But they aren't worth getting so upset over that you hope a human being dies of liver failure.

I don't wish death on him but like Kentucky Reptile Zoo I absolutely wouldn't gift him extremely rare inland taipan antivenin either. From what I can tell you wouldn't get reimbursed for this and judging by this guy's posts he'd probably resume shitting on your work soon after. >>4872838
>>
>>4877318
Apathy is not the same thing as hatred. It would have been better if the snakes could have been saved but circumstances meant they could not.
>>
>>4877241
Zoos also need to have able to be verified documentation on the animal's origin, or they might get in deep shit during an inspection. If you can't prove to officials your CITES appendix 1 listed species isn't a wild caught victim of animal traffickers you better prepare your anus for a long legal process that involves hefty fines and possibly even some confiscations.
And something tells me this complete shitter, who apparently didn't even care about the most basic animal husbandry, bothered with any proper paperwork.

This comes as a shock to people on the internets,

but it doesn't actually matter if people wish him death or wish him good health. Wishing doesn't make the slightest bit of difference.
There's a solid chance he's going to die a horrible death soon no matter what people wish on him.
>>
>>4877527
>snakes aren't automaton
that attitude is why he got bit. He free handles to prove that snakes have emotions and can learn to love their owners.

Not sure if that's true or not, but he's been doing it a long time so I guess snakes can at least get used to their owners and learn to not bite them
>>
>>4877500
That's true but in a very autistic way. He probably will die because of his actions, that doesn't mean it isn't deeply disturbed behavior to exult in that death.
>>
>>4877529
He is a danger to society, since he teaches children to handle venomous creatures in dangerous ways.
>>
>>4877529
4chan isn't really known for compassion, but from what I've seen he's getting more sympathy here than he is on facebook among the people that actually know him.
>>
>>4877533
It may be optimistic but I really doubt many children are out there buying taipans. At the very worst they may do something risky with a local venomous but it's their parents' job to teach them proper safety around wild animals, don't you think?
>>
>>4877534
He's probably way more insufferable in person.
>>
>>4877536
parent:
>okay child don’t touch snakes
cool reptile guy who comes into your school and lets you pet sick snakes and seems more knowledgeable than your parents
>yeah basically if you stock antivenin you’re a huge pussy and you can wield venomous snakes freely with no precautions lol
>also you can leave snakes starving in tiny storage totes in your living room lol
>>
>>4877528
>so I guess snakes can at least get used to their owners and learn to not bite them
Quite a few of the stories I've heard of venom dudes who ended up getting tagged had it happen with a wild specimen after freehandling their own snakes for years without incident. The most famous recent example of this is probably Chandler with a wild cobra. And he was spectacularly lucky to walk away from that with just part of his finger missing, thanks to his crew and being in a country where they actually have the required antivenin in a few hospitals.

So yeah I think it's safe to assume you can desensitize venomous snakes to people like you can with a constrictor type. It's just that one tiny fuck up can have life-changing consequences, which is why keepers with a brain don't go in with their bare mitts.

Makes sense. In Jeff's case I think he misidentified why his snakes don't bite him. He thinks it's because he's calm and fearless when really they're just used to him.
So he gets a new snake and thinks if he's calm and fearless it won't tag him. Even now I don't think he understands why that's wrong. Being chill with snakes certainly would prevent a lot of bites, but not all of them.
>>

>>
>>4877428
>A man should die because he didn't really care about a lizard
He should have died because he wasted valuable medical resources because of his retarded behaviour, kept live animals in awful conditions and pretended like he wasn’t afraid to die saying “antivenom is for pussies” until it actually came down to life or death

>something that literally has no feelings, no self awareness, nothing, just mechanical responses from something that feels as much pain as a robot vacuum when it hits a wall
This isn’t true, but even if it were it’s not an excuse to mistreat something
>>4877528
>He free handles to prove that snakes have emotions and can learn to love their owners.
No, he freehandles to show off and try prove he’s in control. If he thought they had emotions then he wouldn’t abuse them by keeping them in tupperware containers without heat or food
>>4877592

>>
>>4886902

I believe he got that particular snek at a reptile show, though I don't know the details of the transaction aside from it being a very recent acquisition.
>>
>>4886884
Vegans are hypocritical pussies. You know what doesn't have feelings either? A fucking loaded gun. If you shoot yourself because you played with a loaded gun like it was a toy, people will say you deserved it. No one's saying it for the sake of that poor revolver, it's expected that behaving like a toddler with something that will kill you will end up bad. These cunts that wave a gun on Instagram live and pretend to be gangsters just to end up shooting themselves deserve it, they treat their gun like a toy, they had full control over it and yet chose to be retarded with it.
That guy had control of his snake, he chose to handle it without care like a toy and got bit and nearly died. He deserved it and is lucky to be able to brag online now. He seemingly didn't learn his lesson anyways so it will happen again and he will die unless he learns to respect the snakes, like you learn to respect a gun.
>>
>>4886933
saying he "deserved it" is a judgement call nobody is qualified to make.

whether he deserved it or not it happened and nobody is surprised it happened. Most people probably don't feel sorry for him because it was predictable and he could've easily avoided it but took no steps to do so.

deserve has nothing to do with anything. Everyone deserves to die. Nobody really deserves to die no matter how stupid they are. But whether he deserved it or not, nobody was surprised by it and a lot of people probably think he did it on purpose, either by negligence or by forethought.

guns aren't a terrible analogy. I had a buddy that used to twirl a cocked and loaded ruger blackhawk. Everyone warned him to stop, we all knew what was going to happen. I don't know if he deserved it, but he's dead now.

>>
>>4886958
>Why couldn't you do that?
the transaction is probably illegal and snake sellers are unlikely to sell me the thing because I'd do something stupid with it and get them in trouble.

it's like knowing a meth dealer or something. Just because you know who is selling meth in your trailer park doesn't mean they'll sell it to you.

knowing the dealer is only half the mission
they also need to know you.
>>
>>4886959
gotcha. so it is illegal, but if you're in the community you can get some. thanks
>>
>>4886961
It might or might not be legal, but the seller doesn't want to be inspected or investigated.

yes.
the random person cannot buy that snake or indeed most hots in most states because they're not a known member of the club.
>>
>>4886961
to my mind it's more like BASE jumpers or airplane pilots where the community polices itself to prevent laws from being enacted to police them.

It's a legal gray area but if enough dumbasses get hurt or hurt other people it'll be outlawed.

so the community makes its own rules and enforces barriers to entry. Nobody wants to sell me a taipan because I don't know their rules. I don't follow their rules. So I could fuck up and get them all in trouble.

Just like this dumbass has done. Despite being a well-known member of the community he didn't follow community rules and people are now going to be less likely to sell to him.
>>
>>4886965
>people are now going to be less likely to sell to him.
next time he goes to buy an inland taipan the seller is probably going to tell him to fuck off.

he might find someone to sell him cobras or mambas or rattlers or whatever, but he's probably never going to get bit by another taipan. Because nobody wants to sell the snake that kills a dude and results in venomous snakes being outlawed in the state or country.
>>
>>4886966
>nobody wants to sell the snake that kills a dude
manslaughter charges are not worth the few hundred dollars that snek is worth

nor is losing your entire market and ability to sell. Some customers are NOT worth dealing with, and Jeff is now one of them.
>>
>>4886961
>>4886968
basically if I sell hots I'm not going to prison for you or Jeff or anyone. They're simply not that valuable.

Before I sell you a hot you need to convince me you know how to survive owning it.
this is something the average retard can't do.

>>
>>4886976
whether it's legal or not to buy doesn't matter

if Jeff dies that sale instantly becomes illegal.
>>
>>4886977
US law operates on the principle that the vendor is responsible for the safety of their customers.

so even if it's legal to sell taipans in my jurisdiction, it will still be illegal to sell them to dumbasses. I would go to prison for a perfectly legal sale because it's my job to make sure the product won't kill the customer.
>>
>>4886978
>it's my job to make sure the product won't kill the customer.
the only way to do that is to make sure the customer knows how to use the product. I'm not selling a deadly animal to everyone that comes in asking for one. That's just asking to go to jail. And jail here is no joke. Prison and jail inmates are far more deadly than snakes.

>saying he "deserved it" is a judgement call nobody is qualified to make
I am qualified to make it on the grounds that I don’t dick around with deadly animals and don’t keep snakes in filthy tupperware containers

You see that small little line where South Australia meets New South.
That entire area is where all the scenes in Mad Max II are filmed.
It's literally desert for endless miles, barely any shrubs, next to no trees, it's about the most barren and inhabitable place on the planet.
Some of the scenes of the movie Razorback are also filmed in this area.
Gotta be able to kill any food you come across.
There is nothing there, not even Abbos lived in most of this area.

Do people card you buying snakes at an expo? I usually see cash transactions and barely 2 words spoken.

Not a chance unless he has family. I knew a young 20's on the wait list for years.

I didn’t get it at all. I didn’t even know it was shooped because I am a board tourist and I thought this was some way of getting antivenom.

All HUMAN lives are equal
All PEOPLE deserve forgiveness and salvation through christ

Sorry if this hurt you but it is the truth. You are not better than other people and neither is he. People don't deserve to die based on your snake related opinions.

Is he dead yet?

False
>All PEOPLE deserve forgiveness and salvation through christ
NO ONE deserves salvation. It’s unearned grace for all, not deserved grace for anyone.
