WHATS WRONG WITH MY INLAND TAIPAN????? Bad News...
Inland Taipans are not only the most venomous snake in the world but they are also one of the most relaxed and best to work with. In this video however, my favourite inland taipan, Steve is not doing well and the chances of him surviving isn't looking good.

My favorite ball Python Urbilina died after the same type of ordeal she slowly lost strength and there was nothing I could do because it happened so fast and it was devistating she had such a good personality and beautiful cinnamon morph her scales were almost pearlescent rainbow like and it's always sad losing your favorite in your collection it leaves a mark on your brain and heart that you look for in every other other snake but there's so much bonding when you are the one they rely on for everything and have a mutual understanding that you aren't going to hurt eachother although each of you has the ability to break that trust but snakes aren't always bonded to humans but sometimes there's one that you know by their eyes and demeanor they literally love you and to see you . And then you always have the asshole snakes that don't even need provoking to strike it makes the ones that love so much more enjoyable to connect with
I had a pet Garter snake that had that problem and found out it was a tumor. The same thing could have happened to your Inland Taipan.
I am sorry
every animal is beautiful.
As an Aussie who grew up on the Darling Downs, Queensland, I am grateful to you and all other snake hobbyists who cherish our native animals like you do. Thank you. Steve would thank you.
Snakes are fascinating creatures but I like to see them OUTSIDE.
Did it poop? Might be constipated
So sorry Steve is sick
Bro I am so sorry I lost my Bird a few days ago and watching your videos save me so thank you u are amazing hope he gets better blessings to you and him
Praying for Steve, get well soon steve....Dingo you are awesome nice buddy....God bless you 🙏
You should phone Emily Roberts.She had a lot of kinks with her snakes
Im genuinely terrified of snakes but this makes me sad
I had a rabbit when I was younger that I loved with all my heart and one day I woke up to her dead body so I know how hard this can be for dingo
Dingo I'm very sorry
As I'm writing this comment I'm aware that Steve has since died. I'm sorry for the loss. For what it's worth, I had a very similar issue with a Pine Snake. The issue started after my snake regurgitated a rat in 2019. The body spasms came about a few days later and he became very lethargic. I waited 2 weeks before I offered food again which he refused. I watched my snake waste away as he refused food for the next 2 months and the spasms persisted. I couldn't stand to see him suffer and was ready to put him out of his misery but a friend convinced me to give him more time. Finally after another month without food this 5 1/2 foot snake ate a hopper and it would be another 3 weeks before he would eat again. I was eventually able to get him back to small rats again and build back his body mass before brumation. Today he is well over 6 feet long and is as healthy as he can be. I would love to know what happened to cause this with Steve and my Pine.
Man this made me sad. Steve is amazing
Im so sry dingo for your loss. I can tell how much you love your snakes. Thank you for educating us on these misunderstood animals.
Maybe ask a vet for a true muscle relaxant. You can crush tablets and mix the powder in voltaren. In mammals, for example, you could try baclofen and neurotic made into a cream.
Neurontin (non neurotic)
the vet can crack it back in place
Praying for Steve and all of you
I cried so much to this video😭 a snake,so beautiful,that touched my heart so so much❤ R.i.p Steve,we will never forget you🐍❤
I am so sorry that you lost Steve. Thanks for showing the medical treatment that you provided, so very gentle and caring. He had a good life with you, a lovely safe home, plenty of good food, and a kind, gentle and respectful human friend. Happy snake life!
Sorry brother!💔
I do not like snakes, they are too scary. I just looked at this snake and it made me feel bad, the animal has lost its instincts, kind of a identity crisis. He must be in pain and he can't even convey his pain. Unfortunately I saw another video today where Dingo confirmed Steve's demise. Rest in peace fellow animal. Strength to Dingo. We need more people like you Dingo. Animals can transform anyone's heart. Keep up the lovely work.
Man sad sad vlog my guy I’m so so sorry your going through this tough time, prayers for Steve I hope it gets better or goes away keep up updated much love Dingo And Family💙🙏🏽
Sorry to hear Steve not well hope he has a speedy recovery
Dearest Dingo and Steve your boy ❤️❤️❤️🐍I'm Sending positive thoughts and prayers straight to Steve ❤️🐍❤️Please Lord 🙏 Help Dingos Boy !!!
Poor Tipan
Snakes are very fascinating animals !
I'm so sorry, mate. I love Steve - such a beautiful snake with a lovely personality. Heartbreaking! I'm a doctor not a vet but it looks like he has increased muscle tone in places from the neck down. If he was a person I'd be worried about injury to the central nervous system such as a stroke - especially given the speed of onset. I really hope it's something reversible instead. At least we know he's in the best possible hands. I can't think of a better place to be if I were a snake.
I will pray for Steve ! I hope he gets better or at least gets more comfortable.
I am so very sorry for the terrible condition of your Taipan.
I'm so sorry prayers 🙏 common ur way!!
Oh so sad sorry dingo
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family ( both human and nonhuman) in this trying time.
do we know anything about Steve yet?
Hope He Survives
Could he be constipated and his stomack contracting ??Hope you find the problem.
hope he comes right.may be get him xrayed .all the best.
How is Steve doin Dingo??? I’m hoping n praying that what u did has helped him... His spine looks as bad as my spine gets when it’s in full spasm mode n that’s the worst pain ever (it’s worse than dislocating (I have Elders Danlos Syndrome so have a lot of dislocations each day) several joints all at the same time).... It cripples u... I have everything crossed for him.. Sending much love n huge hugs to u n the family xxx
Could tell from the get go something wasn’t right. Hope for a good outcome.
It might have to do with his diet he could be deficient in a vital nutrient and that often causes neurological issues and spasms in reptiles
Or maybe could be some kind of tetanus?
Dingo, you take such excellent care of your snakes. I hope and pray that your treatments heal your buddy, Steve. He is a beautiful boy. 🙏
Maybe he pulled a muscle and needs a warm compresses or a warm bath or even a light massage to help his muscles relax?
I'm hoping and praying Steve gets better soon. 🙏
I feel for u man! I cried twice over my pet Tarauntula. We were close, she even came to me, or near me when she was free roaming, always. Sometimes she just rested on my lap and I pet her, often, for like, what seemed hours!^^ Sadly, one day she figured out how to climb what seemd to be an "un climable" wall and made it out a cracked window, couple stories up. She got her humpty dumpty on and yeah, kings horses, men, had same results for her as with Humpty.^^ There was some other things that happened that just, put her through trauma after the fall, and to be honest, I'm not sure if it was the fall that exploded her abdomen, or the idiot people (possibly kids too) grouped around her, probably throwing rocks at her. When I arrived, a guy had her in a bucket (was trying to get her in) with a shovel and she just looked, horrible. I got her, almost killed everybody, and took her in, cleaned her up and made an icu for her. Prayers and hope, but 3 days later, she succumbed to her wounds. That was hard for me. Similar scenerio with a Rabbit years back as well (that's a whole nother story but...^^). Stay strong pimpn, do what chu can, I know u will.
That’s so awful. I truly hope he isn’t in a lot of pain and he fights through what ever is happening to him. He really isn’t himself right now.
Exactly the same thing happened to my Pueblan Milk snake. Fine one day, and (zig-zag) bent and stiff a few days later. No clue how it happened in that 15 yr old snake. Unfortunately dead a few days later.
Thanks for sharing Dingo, can tell how much he means to you. Wishing Steve a full recovery!
How is Thor doing? Has he eaten yet?
Can u have him tested for any bacteria like birds can be?? I’m sure you’ve ruled all that out would just make me nervous with multiple snakes in there
He may have fallen off a branch or perch maybe accidentally and he bruised his spinal cord or whatever they have prayers for you and your animals
Best of luck to u and of course ol Steve-o sucks man but as humans and vets we can only try and give them the best home and food but we all run into problems with health hope everything goes well and he’s just in a slump ur snakes are like my parrot and dog
Why don't you take him to the vets?
Best of Luck Steve! Definitely praying for you. And can't wait for a follow up video
I'm gutted Dingo hes one of your best snakes man,bru you love them how can you not get upset,only a heartless gutless man would not feel nothing,Godbless you and kirsty and your family.
Yes Dingo,Brian Barszik had a case or 2 man.he knows
Dingo I know Brian had it happen,he knew what it was bru
Not good Godbless uou and uour family,bless you bru,from wales an England
Dingo I remember you picking his name,
Oh, I'm so sorry. Snakes are such interesting creatures. I've never prayed for a snake- but I will say a prayer for Steve. God Bless.
I've seen this before in a house snake a fee years ago. Seemed like some kind of degenerative condition. Snake's spine became rigidly kinked. There was never any trauma sustained by the snake. It only ate frozen thawed. Eventually died.
Any news on your boy Steve since I watched that vid can't stop thinking about it really strange situation with the kinks
The Cure is in the name Australian inland tiapan the key word is inland on a cold day it's more than 50c where he lives 70c is a time for hunting
I've never watched any of your videos before and within seconds of you talking about Steve I was instantly reminded of steve irwin. Your movements, tone etc all screamed steve irwin. If you're anything like the legend himself these snacks are very lucky to be under your care.
So sad - hoping for a good outcome!
Poor Steve...I hope he does'nt suffer so much and his illnness is not so serious!!!...I trully hope the medications will cure him and he will be healthy soon!!!
omg, im so sorry dingo to hear and see this. i can tell how emotionally attached you are to this snake and its never easy to see one of your loved one suffer this way, rather its human or not this snake has made a huge impact on your life. in time will heal all brother
Update us dingo!! How is he?
Collaboration with Panji petualang channel from Indonesian 👌
Spinal osteoarthropathy?
Hope Steve is okay, thank you for your passion. It's nice that people like you help people like me understand that they are not monsters, keep us posted please
Hey dingo. How's he doin today.
Your right brother. Most people dont understand our passion for them. There not just snakes or our pets for that matter. There Family.
PUT HIM OUT ON THE SUN
NICE GUY. DOING PROFESIONAL
Our family hopes Steve will be okay. We know how much it can hurt to see your favorite animal suffering. Please let everyone know how you and Steve are doing. Best wishes!
I hope Steve comes good I'm feeling sorry for you dingo it really upsets me because inland typan is my favorite snake it might have something to do with typans being an Aussie like me....
Om hoping that you and your beautiful Family, Taipan & your other snakes the best!❤️
electrolyte imbalance or perhaps he's not drank enough water? Hope he pulls through man!
My son Max (5) and I watch all your videos Dingo. Sending positive vibes to all the family, including Steve. Hope he gets better.
I think he swallowed a sponge or some cleaning materials. Steve is one of my favourites! Be well Dingo
So how is Steve a couple days later
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Give us updates on Steve, Prayers!
So Sorry Dingo! I wish I knew magic at times like this! Much comfort to you and Steve!🙏❤
So sorry to see Steve like that, I pray he makes a full recovery. How about the king cobra & the black head bushmaster? I never saw you made a follow up video to say if they recovered.
Snake needs to get out of the cage more and use those muscles. They lock up when not being used regularly for a large snake.
Any updates on Steve boy? It was emotional to watch him suffer in silence and also understanding what you are going thru ..... Hope n wish Steve speedy recovery.
Sending all my get well vibes Steve's way!! From 1 Aussie to another, all my love!!
Dingo any chance we can get an update on steve please
Poor Steve 😥
Do you have an update on Steve?
Wow I had a corn snake that lived in my yard and I went out one day and his whole body had kinks all the way down its body like that and he unfortunately passed less then a week later I found it in my yard
Would a warm bath help if it is his muscles
So sorry man
Dingo, I have muscle spasm seemingly everywhere if I am dehydrated or my electrolytes are deficient. Do you think hydration could be an answer for Steve? I hope he's better soon.
May he heal in no time
What about Magnesium for muscle spasms?
Get well Steve!
