Deadly Snake Milking Gone Wrong!

Billy Collett, the Operations Manager at the Australian Reptile Park, handles these magnificent reptiles almost every day in order to help produce life-saving antivenom. But just because he handles them every day doesn't mean there aren't close calls -- especially when it comes to the Eastern Brown!
We want to thank the Australian Reptile Park and the fearless Billy Collett for all the work they do in helping to create the life-saving anti-venom! Visit their website for more information and to plan a visit to the reptile park: reptilepark.com.au/

Coyote and the team are on-production right now recording the final snake milking adventure... any guesses on the snake species?
-
I wonder what makes a person wake up in the morning and think, “I want to milk snakes for a living.”
-
I really appreciate Billy's attitude. He's incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, but he's not nearly as arrogant about controlling the snakes as you'd expect someone of his experience. He's still incredibly aware of how dangerous what he's doing is.
-
Apreciate people like Billy.... what an important person for a lot of people living in Australia.... HERO

Billy’s hand shaking after the snake lunged at him. I could feel his anxiety for that split second 😭 I hope they pay you well 🤍
-
Kudos to Billy Collett for putting his life on the line to help other people. Honorable fellow to say the least.

Knowing how many people this helps and that the anti venom is free truly makes me proud to be an Australian, God bless this great great country and all our awesome snake handlers ❤
-
the amount of self control billy shows when the snake tries to bite him is insane, it's not only about having nerves of steel but also hours and hours of training and experience. my highest respect goes out to this guy, he's a true hero!
-
OMG! That's absolutely terrifying! I'm so glad Billy's okay! Many thanks to Billy and others like him who work dangerous jobs to help others.

Billy is an awesome dude. To have that confidence without arrogance, awareness and knowledge of what can happen, knowing the risks, without panicking.
-
Coyote almost slipped up keeping it family friendly at 4:06 🤣 I love brave wilderness!
-
Huge props to Coyote and Billy, snakes are extremely muscle and STRONG, especially these kind of snakes, and the way coyote can somehow comment WHILE holding the snakes is mild blowing.
-
Wishing Billy all the best. My heart rate was accelerating watching behind the screen. These snake milkers are so important and put their lives on the line for the people.
-
Billy has completely the right attitude for this job. Respectful of the animals and what they can do, knowledgeable of each snake’s unique personalities and never ever putting himself at risk to show off to camera like some YouTube personalities.
-
Billy seems like an awesome guy. Truly crazy that he handles those snakes daily but such an important job.
-
It’s crazy to think how many lives billy has inadvertently saved
-
