Inland taipan hatch two months later. The eggs are usually laid in abandoned animal burrows and deep crevices. Reproduction rate depends in part on their diet: if there is not enough food, then the snake will reproduce less. Captive snakes generally live for 10 to 15 years. An inland taipan at Australia Zoo lived to be over 20 years old. The mulga snake ("Pseudechis australis") is immune to most Australian snake venom, and is known to also eat young inland taipans. The perentie ("Varanus giganteus") is a large monitor lizard that also shares the same habitat. As it grows large enough, it
Inland taipan Cook University, the majority of components in the venom have not been characterized and little molecular research has been undertaken on taipan ("Oxyuranus") species at large. As of 2005, the amino acid sequences of only seven proteins from inland taipan have been submitted to SWISS-PROT databases. The mortality rate is high in untreated cases: Clinically, envenomation may represent a complex scenario of multiple organ system poisoning with neurotoxic symptoms typically dominating. Acute renal failure, rhabdomyolysis, and disseminated coagulopathy may also complicate the setting. The first local and general symptoms of a bite are local pain and variable non-specific effects which
