Feeding Australia's MOST VENOMOUS Snakes!

Billy's joined by a special guest on this week's Venom Diaries and they're showing you how we feed our most venomous snakes at the Australian Reptile Park.

See how the deadly King Browns and Tiger Snakes get stuck in, and not only to their dinner! He'll also be milking our beautiful snakes for their lifesaving anti-venom.

Join Billy as he milks some of the most dangerous snakes in the world to create life-saving anti-venom. 💉
Since the 1950s, the Australian Reptile Park has been the sole suppliers of terrestrial snake venom for the purpose of making anti-venom. It is estimated that 300 lives are saved by anti-venom in Australia each year and since the program’s inception, over 25,000 Australian lives have been saved by the program. The Park is currently home to 250 venomous snakes that are part of the venom program, and are milked on a fortnightly basis.

All actions performed in this video are by a highly trained professional. Never attempt approaching or touching a snake unless you are a professional.
