Also no one has died from an Inland Taipan bite. In an isolated area of South Australia, Rob Bredl's father, Joe was bitten while catching one and barely survived. The most recent victim was John Robinson, bitten while cleaning the Inland Taipan's cage at his Reptile Display on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. He weathered the bite without antivenom but sustained considerable muscle damage as well as heart damage. The lack of fatalities is most probably due to the short fangs and low venom yield.
Coastal Taipans have a different story.
They are a large, fast and nervous snake. Because they have long fangs and a huge supply of venom, even with antivenom survival from a Coastal Taipan bite is not certain. That few people are bitten is a testament to their shy nature. On average only about two people a year die in Australia from snake bite and most of these are from the Common Brown Snake. The Common Brown kills most people in Australia because there is more of them and they like to live where people live.
