The Inland Taipan, also known as the Small Scaled Snake and Fierce Snake , it is a highly venomous snake that lives in Australia, notorious for having the most potent venom of any species of snake in the world.
Venom, A single bite from the Inland Taipan contains enough venom to kill as many as 100 human adults, or 250,000 mice. The average venom yield of this snake is 44 mg, with a 110-mg being the largest recorded yield. Its venom is 50 times more toxic than that of the Indian Cobra and 650 - 850 times more toxic than that of a Western- or Eastern Diamondback. The Inland Taipan has an extremely neurotoxic venom which can cause death to a adult human in as little as 45 minutes. Although highly venomous it is a relatively timid snake provided that it is left alone. Even so, if it is suspected that a bite from this snake has occured, medical attention should be sort immediately.

Great shot of the Taipan Freddie.
The light and details on the snake look good.
This would have been a short worthy of TN too.
Nice work.
Cheers
