The Australian Reptile Park—on the central coast of New South Wales—has been home to Titan, a gigantic king brown snake. Some king brown snakes have attained up to 8.2 feet in length, but Titan reaches a length of 8 feet 9.5 inches. In footage taken by the park, operations manager, Billy Collett, can be seen handling the gigantic snake during a health check. "We reckon we've got one of the biggest venomous snakes in all of Australia," Collett said in the video. "Titan's part of our snake milking program here at the Australian Reptile Park.

They also point to the need to make the trade fairer and more transparent, so local people can benefit from it.
