On "The Jeff Corwin Experience", no. I don't know, maybe with "Going Wild With Jeff Corwin" or with something else he could have come across one, but not with this show. He did handle 5 other Australian venomous snakes including a Tiger Snake, Copperhead, Death Adder, an Eastern Brown Snake and a Brown Tree Snake, but no Taipans. Taipans are exciting, but I'm most eager for him to take on some of those species of spitting cobras in Africa and Asia. That would make my perfect snake episode.
