Australia Snake Gaiters - Snake Proof Gaiters for Women and Men
|
When Do You Need Protection from Potential Snake Bite? Whenever you're in snake territory! It's estimated that Australia hosts 66 venomous species, most of them are elapids— a venomous group characterized by its short fangs and agile nature. Striking with a downward stabbing motion, Elapids kill by injecting a neurotoxic venom that causes immediate paralysis in prey. Some of the most venomous Australian snakes include taipans, eastern brown snake, common death adder, mulga, lowland copperhead, and red-bellied snake. If you frequent where venomous snakes live, use common sense precautions to avoid being bitten, and at the same time protect your lower legs from snake fangs with these Razer Snake Gaiters.

Razer Snake Gaiters are light-weight (each weighs only 12 ounces) and are uniquely contoured to fit around your calves.

Eastern Brown Snake
|
The Eastern Brown Snake, also known as the common brown snake, is found throughout the eastern half of mainland Australia. Fast-moving, aggressive and known for their bad temper, eastern brown snakes, together with other browns are responsible for more deaths every year in Australia than any other group of snakes. Not only is their venom ranked as the second most toxic of any land snake in the world, they thrive in populated areas, particularly on farms in rural areas where their food supply— mice— are plentiful. The brown snake is an elapid— a venomous group characterized by its short fangs and agile nature. Striking with a downward stabbing motion, elapids kill by injecting a neurotoxic venom that causes immediate paralysis in prey.

The brown is a medium sized snake with a slender to moderate build and a smallish head barely distinct from the neck. Body colour may be almost any shade of brown, ranging from near black to light tan, chestnut or burnt-orange. If disturbed, the eastern brown raises its body off the ground, winding into an ‘S’ shape, mouth gaping open and ready to strike. Its venom causes progressive paralysis and stops the blood from clotting, which may take many doses of antivenom to reverse. Human victims may collapse within a few minutes.
Because the Eastern Brown Snake can cope and even thrive in areas of human disturbance, and its natural range happens to include some of the most populated parts of the country, this species is probably encountered more than any other type of snake. Being an alert, nervous species they often react defensively if surprised or cornered, putting on a fierce display and striking with little hesitation.
As the initial bite is generally painless and often difficult to detect, anyone suspected of receiving a bite from an Eastern Brown Snake should call for medical attention without delay. This species has the unfortunate distinction of causing more deaths from snake bite than any other species of snake in Australia. Many bites have been a direct result of people trying to kill these snakes and could obviously have been avoided. Simple precautions, such as wearing snake gaiters and solid footwear when working or exploring outdoors greatly reduces the risk of being bitten should there be a close encounter with a startled snake.
