Aussies are the coolest people in Australia.

Brit men would probably scream like little girls, reach for a tea and be beaten by their wives for letting snakes crawl in their garden.

He probably had one to calm his nerves. I don't see the correlation with being brave by him drinking a beer.

Well, it is also because any country Aussie knows that snake venom travels through the lymphatic system, NOT the circulatory system.

Which means that ANY movement of the body spreads the venom.

A compression bandage will limit it much further.

Whether he knew it or not, he probably saved his own life by not running around.

On top of that, the snake does not always inject venom, and on top of that, most of our snakes have grooved fangs, meaning the venom travels on the outside of the tooth, and gets absorbed into clothing etc. Mind you, our snakes compensate for smaller dosages by having fucking strong venom when measured drop for drop.

Most people I know are more afraid of taipans than eastern browns. They are very aggressive in some seasons, and can coil up and spring three times their body length. That means a small one, say 6 foot, can spring 18' through the air. They are hollow fanged, and bite multiple times. Within minutes you start urinating out your own muscle tissue, as it dissolves thanks to the quick acting venom.
A full grown taipan can easily knock a big bloke to the ground while biting him repeatedly.

Eastern browns get out of the way, mostly, or unless you step on one, in which case, it was your fucking unlucky day.

There not that cool.

Through tea and crumpets at the snake lol!!!
