Long grass muffles the sound of your approach and many snakes freeze and that is how you get bitten- either by treading on or too close to them. Of course each snakes attitude is different too. red bellies prefer to move on, tigers freeze and browns are not afraid to attack if threatened!<BR/><BR/>HAPPY NEW YEAR!simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329985554257923069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260855408191704213.post-1820934304076117952009-01-01T21:15:00.000-08:002009-01-01T21:15:00.000-08:00What a great way to spend the start of a New Year,...What a great way to spend the start of a New Year, and especially wonderful that David got to see a platypus swimming. <BR/>I didn't like long grass sections in France when people warned me about snakes, but I think my danger level was probably nothing compared to yours!Kiwi Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351034705766073667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260855408191704213.post-41476849702230167502009-01-01T14:56:00.000-08:002009-01-01T14:56:00.000-08:00I have to say snakes do not worry me at all, but ...I have to say snakes do not worry me at all, but in this case, the grass was just so high that the risk was too great. <BR/><BR/>Tiger snakes have the most toxic venom and would be the world deadliest if not for the fact that the fangs are small. People who get bitten often think its just a grass seed or thorn, and generally get bitten by treading on, or near them.<BR/><BR/>Eastern Browns are far more aggressive and fearless, and are to be avoided. Whilst they will not go out of there way to attack, they will not retreat either.... They do look beautiful when they swim though.simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329985554257923069noreply@blogger.com
