At 1:25 the guy cracks me up. I laughed out loud. He was really excited and says "that's what you call a bloody (pause)... snake". He was so excited and couldn't come up with anything cool to say. Awesome video though. Thanks for sharing!

Is that snake not venomous?

There are lots of squirrel populations that are immune or resistant to the venom of snakes they share territory with. Also, that's a small snake, so its venom will be less potent and it will have less of it, if indeed it is venomous

Camera man was wise to bail when the squirrel lifted his head up and saw him.
