Hi you#.I am Here With Some Facts About Inland Taipan,Which I WantedTo Share With All Of Us!! Information The Inland Taipan ( Oxyuranus microlepidotus ), also known as the Small Scaled Snake and Fierce Snake , is native to Australia and is regarded as the most venomous land snake in the world based on LD 50 values in mice . It is a species of taipan belonging to the Elapidae family. Although highly venomous, it is very shy and reclusive, and always prefers to escape from threat (the word "fierce" from its alternative name describes its venom, not its temperament)

Symptoms Of Taipan Bite The onset of severe symptoms can be rapid in cases of taipan envenomation. Signs and symptoms of taipan or inland taipan are: *. Neurological impairment *. Paralysis *. Incoaguable blood *. Rhabdomyolysis is a feature of taipan envenomation, but likely to be of lesser clinincal significance Treatment First aid for taipan envenomation consits of a pressure bandage and immobilisation. In cases where a pressure bandage has been applied correctly, it can be left in situ indefinitely while the patient is feeling no discomfort as a result. If it becomes appropriate to remove a pressure bandage, it is necessary to have antivenom and haemostatic support ready. In severe cases, a patient may require ventilatory support. Antivenom is indicated for any clinical manifestations of neurotoxicity or myolysis
