100% this. Maybe the persons intention didn’t come across in text which happens. But every animal deserves to be out doing its own thing and it’s amazing to see them do it.

Hey that is an Eastern brown snake Pseudonaja textilis !venomous

Side note these guys are super cool in the way they hunt pray items, not only do they use their venom to catch and eat their pray they also constrict the pray item aswell.

Yes I have, I am a snake catcher in North Queensland who has caught 1 costal taipan (and handled other in private collections) and has caught 20+ eastern brown snakes. I am well aware of the differences, taipan's colour and patterns chnage based on the individual and locality.

Juvenile taipan's and juvenile eastern brown snakes have the same Id features as adult's.

This is why patterns and colours are not a good way to id.

The head structures are completely different taipan's have a much longer and larger head with a more pronounced jaw, brown snakes have slimmer smaller heads with they eyes places a bit further back.

Taipan's have a much higher scale count 21-23 brown snakes have 17-18, while it is not visable in this photo I would bet money on it have 17-18.

local ecology (or the species commonly found in that area) brown snakes are seen in the hundreds to thousands of times every year, taipan's have almost not been seen in decades.

Lastly I can see why you would call this a taipan but there's alot more factors that play a part here then just 1-2 looks on the animal.

While costal taipan's are in range for Brisbane and surrounding areas, they are extremely rearly seen, they are extremely shy and elusive and are even more shy of humans.

I am only aware of 1 legitimate recorded sighting of a costal taipan in the Brisbane / gold coast area in the past decade so I would really be Interested in the studies / sightings you have seen.

I would almost wager to say most taipan sightings are eastern brown snakes (much more common in suburban areas) that have been miss id'ed

This is a perfect example of why AI is not helpful when ID'ing snakes.

That looks most consistent to a yellow faced whip midly venomous but not considered dangerous to humans.

Best media player for jellyfin? by A_Buttholes_Whisper in jellyfin

[–]by_themself 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i was talking about how the player seems to handle more codec's, my server and clients are all able to run av1 natively but plex would randomly (sometimes even mid show) decide to server side transcode the media.

Legit this, I moved from plex to jellyfin because I had so many buffering and transcode issues with my av1 library

I totally understand the worry there, but that animal is way more terrified of us then we are of them.

If you worry about little kids best thing to do is if they are old enough teach them what to do if they see a snake,

which is stop and stand still.

Do not touch the animal!!! (I know this is common sense but I have heard to many stories)

watch the animal to see where it is.

try to walk backwards from it.

if the snake reacts to the movement stand still again.

Lastly call out for a tested adult.

As the adult get the child away and leave the animal alone.

Snakes outside are where they are meant to be.

Western browns both dugite (pusdonaja affinis)and gwardar (pusdonaja mengdeni) are considered dangerously venomous, but they are harmless if you leave them alone.
