Snake handler in Australia, '' Ben Avery'' was bitten by one of these a couple of years ago. He was bitten on the thumb, and done everything right, but still had a horrible time, with his kidney's shutting down, and he was on Renal Dialysis for a couple of weeks. Show's the potency of the Tiger's venom.

My uncle was bitten on the finger by a brown slowly floating past a stump in the middle of the river out fishing somewhere at the bottom of NT If it wasnt for the Royal flying doctors he would have died, all is organs were shutting down and needed all the machines hooked up too, it was months before he could be transferred back to vic because he was obviously rushed to S.A. Then more months of treatments at home.. Even if you do survive your body can be permanently damaged by either a brown or tiger and life changing

The general genetic diversity of populations around Perth is very low so scientists were not able to pinpoint the origin of Carnac island snakes. We tried to get to the island close to Sao Paulo twice, it is not easy.

Garden island is much the same. Not far from Carnac island, but most of the tiger snakes there, have had their eyes pecked out by seagulls, to stop them from taking their chicks. Its available by land, so it would seem unlikely that the snake population is introduced.

Notes on snakes: 1. They can have a venomous bite. 2. I think that they do not have eyelids, therefore, do they have problems with the glare of the sun. 3. Their "light" range is different from us, therefore do they see more of the light spectrum? 4. They use their tongue to smell. 5. They shed their skins. 6. They are cold blooded. 7. They like heat. 8. They can swim in water. 9. They eat meat, but are then satisfied for a while after a meal. 10. When they mate they lay eggs. 11. They strike fast when provoked. 12. Are they front fanged or rear fanged? 13. What kind of poison do the venemous snakes contain, for example, does the poison attack the nervous system? 14. Does it flatten its head? 15. Can its venom be milked?

@LivingZoology

2. They have a brille or eye cap, it evolved by fusing both eyelids. As far as we know, they don't have specific problems with the glare of sun. 3. We don't think they see a different light spectrum. Some snakes have pit organs but those are not visual organs. 11. Some snakes are ovoviviparous. 12. Many snakes don't strike at all, even if provoked. 13. Some snakes are front fanged, some rear fangs, some don't have fangs. 14. Main types of toxins are neurotoxins, myotoxins, cytotoxins, hemotoxins. 15. Some snakes flatten their neck when feeling threatened. 16. You can milk snakes for venom.

A fascinating story. If the tiger snake is an introduced species I wonder if the ecological equilibrium of the island has changed. Has Carnac Island's seabird population altered between 1900 and 2000 and are the tiger snakes involved? Made me think of the introduction of the brown tree snake to Guam.

@LivingZoology

Yes, this island has a fascinating history! We haven't found any data about the population change of nesting birds in 1900-2000. Silver gulls nest throughout almost the whole year and some nest more than once. It is possible that the arrival of snakes just caused the fact that more gulls nest more than once per year.

The population of silver gulls in the metropolitan area of Perth is much larger now than it was in the past, due to the greater population of humans and their effluent streams providing a rich source of food - landfills, stormwater drains, rubbish bins etc. All of the offshore islands are utilised for breeding and I seriously doubt there would be any evidence of an impact of the snakes on the number of gulls using the island, or the population of gulls in general.

2. They have an ocular scale, also called the brille or the eye cap, resulting from fusion of dorsal and ventral eyelids. 3. Some snakes have pit organs which help them to sense infrared thermal radiation, but they don’t see it with their eyes. 10. Many snakes are ovoviviparous, meaning that eggs hatch inside a female and she gives birth to live young. 11.
