The inland taipan is actually the world's most venomous snake. The black mamba will closer to 10th place on the list.

So no be Anti Yahoo again,na Anti Snake..Its well!

For your information snake cannot just spite into water. Snakes release their venom when there is danger and it is mostly when they bite. Nice info from the op

Your head dey there! l know in the list of most dangerous snakes, the black mamba is not in the top 6

DabuIIIT:


its really damning!
Some freaks actually consider it wierd and tag you negative,that you are watching 'animal' channel!

Some even say it,"thats why you behave like animal"!

Can you beat that?!

lol

Cr7sBabe:
Ewwww....I hate snakes

Really? Just add your house address I'll package them as a Gift for you

Its kinda mathematical when they say a single bite can kill a 100 men.
If,for example,a single bite can kill a full grown elephant and an elephant is equivalant to a hundred men,that means it can actually kpain 100 ppl o!

thebosstrevor:
i hope they want to blame Nigerian government

let me help them

where is the nigerian government,what are they doing,the government need to solve it,stop snake from coming into nigeria,sanction australia.

The OAP is stupid that snake isnt what he called it.

what is it then?

Probably it has come to obtain its PVC because of 2019 election ahead.

What a stupid post, there are no inland taipans in Nigeria, let the so called OAP prove it with a life video from Lekki..

By the way, you won't die if you ingest venom.. another myth..
These almost always need to be injected into the blood stream and thus carried round the body to be effective. If ingested, the acids and enzymes contained in both saliva and the stomach will break them down to harmless chemicals very quickly.

The West have never and would forever despise any country with very large population.

Nigerias problem since 1914 was orchestrated to distabilize our unity knowing it would make us formidable and prosperous.

Do you know that all these deadly viruses like Ebola, Monkey Pox, HIV, Anthrax etc are man made by the West in their labs? These are antics designed to reduce African population.

So if the Australian Inland Taipan has suddenly found its way here, I smell the hand of the west.
Remember the man intercepted with crates of exotic reptiles of which included snakes in Nigeria?

The West is evil and will do anything to remain dominant over others...

Lekki Ajah, how manage?

There is no way inland taipan could be in Lagos. Do you think it wld adapt to that habitat. Each snakes have its own habitat. Check the snake well.

Some people just wonna trend online,no confirmation of news before bringing it to FP.


More so, poisonous snakes are snakes that cannot be eaten / snakes that arn't edible(e.g boom slang,water snake,mostly green snakes,even Python,Anaconda..etc), While venomous snakes are snakes with fangs, rattle,V shaped head,cat eyed.(e.g copper head,B.mamba,cobra,timber snake,rattle snake, boomslang with dark spot, dessert brown snake, etc)

Do not keep snakes as pets, eliminate them once seen in your house, at your home,POW etc.

Also,do not look into their eye,that's when they will spit and once it touches the eyes it could lead to blindness.

So note their differences.

you say pythons are poisnous n cnt be eaten? You be learneroo. Na im dem chop pass. Abi you just waka come?

Spitting into your water? Really?? Ingesting undiluted snake poison/spit is not harmful, and yet he talks about it spitting into your water. Snakes do not hunt humans, you guys should chill jare.

the oap is ignorant with that spitting into spitting into tank comment.swallow venom nothin go happen..it only only acts when it gets into the blood stream..however on hunting humans yes it does not not but one bit from this specie of snake in nigeria is a death sentnce because for one the anti venom cannot be here since it was not expected to occur here in the first instance

Hmmm....snake spitting venom into water....really? ..ignorant guy. The person/persons who spotted the snake knew what type it was... never mind it is not a native nor a well known snake....and knowing how dangerous it is.... never raised an alarm to have it hunted and killed. If the snake is in the area. ..most likely...someone he knows smuggled the snake into the country as exotic pet... the snake has grown beyond his control and the person has released it. Now he is sounding a warning. He need to be taken in by the police and agressively questioned.

The mamba is not the deadliest snake in the world, that should be a viper species, and the taipan is deadlier than the mamba...plus maybe it was snuck into the country by snake smugglers

I immediately dismissed the post when I read the spitting into your water part...ingesting a snake’s venom orally is not harmful..only when it is intravenously injected directly into the bloodstream does it get dangerous..the hydrochloric(HCL) acid and gastric juices in the stomach neutralizes the venom before it gets assimilated into the bloodstream...

brother it depends..burmese python isnt originally from usa but what brought to southe eastern united states through smuggling..now that snake has adapted there and is seriously snuffing life away from other small mammals inhabiting that area that it is now a cause for concern...python and anaconca are edible snakes and non poisonous

Campusity:
What we need is a herpatologist to make a definite assessment that this is a taipan and wildlife services to find out how it got here.

If it is a taipan then Lagos hospitals better stock up on its antivenom cos that snake is deadly.

However, I don't think a snake "spits" in water. If they do our villagers who drink from ponds would all be dead. Snakes "inject" venom during a bite.

bros which side U dey write from? Herpatologists to begin find snake, do research, stock anti-venom 4 U in naija? U re on ur own bros. Maybe u just waka come.

it can be smuggled in though and maybe mistakenly released in to the wild

Ordinary 'Oke Belgium' that is Belgium Rat entered Nigeria through Cargo, and you think this snake cannot enter? Lalasticlala should be happy now.

That's nature for you.


Pythons and anaconda are explicit when it comes to poisonous / the edible part


Ohhh is it because Nigerians eat it? Lol


Australia is a very cool country, Nigeria is hot and don't you think that snake cannot adapt?

Probably someone brought a pregnant female specie to Lekki Conservatory Park and its been breeding since and finding it's way out.

I REALLY FIND THIS POST VERY STUPID AND N6 SHOULD BE PROPERLY EDUCATED, SNAKES DON'T SPIT IN WATER. SNAKES ONLY USE VENOM TO ATTACK, WHY WILL IT STILL IN WATER, I SEE THIS POST AS BASELESS AS ALL THE RANDOM WHATSAPP AND FACEBOOK PANIC MSGS CIRCULATING SOCIAL MEDIA IN OTHER TO CREATE PANIC.... IF THE PPLE IN LEKKI SHOULD BE WORRIED, HOW ABOUT THOSE WHO LIVE ON SNAKE ISLAND, YES WE SHOULD BE VIGILANT, BUT LIKE HE SAID, IF THE SNAKE IS FROM AUSTRALIA, WHY ARE PPLE STILL ALIVE IN AUSTRALIA, E SUPPOSE DONE KUKU KILL EVERYBODY.... STUPID UNEDUCATED YEYEBRITY

some parts of australia are as hot as nigeria(central paths and city of perth)..it is just that nigeria is more humid

Making an issue on this to scare Nigerians is baseless cus its in Ghana and have killed about 4 in the last 2 months.... Even if you like be over careful,its God that protects....

Bellgal:

When it comes to snake this particular name will be mention does it mean he is a snake man or woman i don't understand.

He is the honourable minister of snake affairs on nairaland

meanwhile, too many female snakes in Lekki beach..

The author of this alert is exquisitely ignorant!

1) They've just thrown out a claim that this species has invaded Lekki. No sort of evidence presented. It's highly unlikely that a shy snake, whose natural habitat is the arid wastelands of Australia, would feel comfortable in such an urbanised area like Lekki. In Australia, Inland Taipans are known to preferentially avoid trouble, and avoid human contact, so why and how would they even attempt to "invade" Lekki? Note that the image in the op was copied from the wiki page, and is not evidence of their so-called invasion. Evidence of their invasion should be provided by the official pest and disease control agency in charge of Lagos area, not a coolFM OAP.

2) The author implores readers to imagine what would happen if they spit in your drinking water. What is implied by that statement is that because their venom from a single attack can incapacitate 100 adult humans, ingesting it should lead to death. This person clearly doesn't know the difference between venom and poison. Venoms are ineffective, in so far as they don't access your blood stream. Drinking snake venom is not the same as being bitten by a snake.

3) As always, be vigilant, but there's no need to become unnecessarily hysterical over fake news. Most snakes are shy creatures who want nothing to do with humans. So don't bother them in their habitats.

Thank you my guy. If that is how snake attack, then all humanity would have been wiped out.
Sense should fall on N6
