INLAND TAIPAN BITE!!! #JeffLeibowitz #Jeffreyleibowitz #inlandtaipan #venomoussnakes #reptile...webm

I don't even get what he's trying to do here. I assumed he got bit transferring it between cages, or feeding it, but he's just fucking around with it for no conceivable reason. Is he trying to give it a bath? This isn't a Bearded dragon, you can't just play around with it.

I'd guess he's giving it a soak, which you'd do for any number of health reasons (hydration (reptiles can drink out their ass), helping with stuck shed, helping with constipation/blockages)

This doesn't explain why he's fucking with an obviously distressed snake obviously, just why he's fucking with it over a shallow tank of water.

It's like he's giving it a drink in the weirdest way or trying to see if it can swim. I don't know why he'd upload this considering the snake looked incredibly agitated before the bite landed. I appreciate it, but it's weird.
Also considering he ended up dropping it into the water, I wonder if that snake could swim considering its habitat is the desert. The coastal Taipan can, but I couldn't pull anything up about the inland kind (in the two seconds I searched for it). Granted it wasn't too deep but still, animals not built for water can drown surprisingly easily.

Yeah you're right. I didn't think he was soaking it since he was fucking around with it instead of letting it sit in the water. I definitely wouldn't put a snake that small in water even that deep though. The best option for a dangerous reptile would be to spray down the hides, and let it naturally remove its own shed, which he would have done if he wasn't obsessed with showing off how cool he is.

I'm not too familiar with snakes, but desert lizards, like bearded dragons, can swim relatively well for short distances. I still wouldn't put a reptile in water it wasn't able to hold it's head over.
 
Joey is still pissed, and released a video on the current state of things.
Highlights:
  • Florence, SC is looking at passing a very restrictive law on pets within the city limits that goes well beyond venomous snakes and even includes common livestock like cows. And penguins.
  • Joey got ahold of one of Jeff's boomslangs which had not been in the house at the time of the taipan bite. The venomous bastard is sad and unwell, demonstrating Jeff's dreadful animal care.
  • Jeff moved out of Florence, SC possibly up to Virginia, and Joey moved to SC (but not Florence)
  • SC is likely to pass a statewide ban on exotics with verbiage based heavily on the Florence ban as soon as January 2025; this does not, at the moment, include a grandfather clause for current exotic pet owners and no permitting system has been detailed
  • Joey implores the community to not sell Jeff anymore snakes or reptiles, because despite his claims from the hospital video that he is done with owning exotics, rumor is that the fuckwit is looking to buy more venomous snakes.
 
I'm glad he didn't feel the need to edit out the 30ish seconds of fucking with the snake before the bite. If he was smarter he could have just uploaded the five second clip and write a caption saying "I was trying to give my Inland Taipan a soak when it suddenly bit me," and try to make himself not look so bad. Then again I guess if he was smarter he wouldn't have been bit by an Inland Taipan.
 
Some updates: South Carolina House bill 3937 seeks to ban all venomous reptiles. tl;dr: if it passes, everyone has 90 days to get a permit for their venomous reptile at which point permits are closed except for exhibitors and researchers (basically grandfathering in those who currently keep venomous snakes but they can't get any more). There are also storage requirements for venomous reptiles including stuff like "A written bite protocol must be within sight of the permanent primary enclosure and a copy must accompany the venomous reptile during transport." This bill was written specifically addressing the many things Jeffrey got wrong. This news article (A) directly cites Jeffrey Leibowitz as the cause of this pending legislation. Reptile fans on Facebook are not happy:

Jeffrey himself does not appear to be doing well:

It should be noted the bill itself hasn't moved since it was introduced back in February. I'm not familiar with South Carolina's legislature so I don't know if that's normal or not.

Other than Boogie, there is not another lolcow I wish would die as soon as possible. I hope this fucker suffers the rest of his worthless fucking life.
 
Sorry to bump a dead thread but I hate cliffhangers. He's still alive and back to talking a ton of shit and handling taipans and other snakes on facebook, and suprisingly the cat is okay. from a cursory glance hes at least being much kinder with them.

He should have been prohibited from ever owning a snake again, even a ball python. Fucking asshole ate six figures of public money with his dumbass stunt.

I was under the same impression, but I checked his Facebook and hes incredibly active, just incredibly boring.

The stupid bastard now claims to have more Taipans than he did, and there's videos of him handling rattlesnakes, boomslangs, and some others im not educated enough to understand on his Facebook. He posts so fucking frequently that even doomscrolling it at work for ten minutes didn't get me farther than a few days ago, and I saw dozens of posts about venomous snakes. He's apparently kept that speed for a significant amount of time without anybody on the farms noticing, so its hard to say if there's anything actually worth archiving that isn't just more of what's already shown here. Nearly dying just made him worse it seems. I have no fucking clue how he got more than he had potentially, let alone any.
