57% Informative
Sydney funnel-webs are arguably the most deadly spider in the world.
The Australian Reptile Park's spider milking room is a critical part of a government antivenom programme.
The spiders are so deadly that nobody has been killed by one since 1981 .
Members of the public either catch the spiders or collect their egg sacs.
As many as 140,000 people die across the world from snake bites every year , three times that many are left disabled.
In Australia , the government has been providing snake venom to the government since the 1950s .
To date, they reckon they've saved 2,000 lives.
The Australian Reptile Park makes 7,000 vials a year including snake, spider, stonefish and box jellyfish.
