It was only 3 foot long but these snakes as juveniles have enough venom to kill several humans.
They are highly toxic in their venom and if you are bitten you only have minutes about half hour.
In Australia we have about 3000 snake bites a year and about 500 hospitalized with some fatalities from the Eastern brown snake.
I find snakes fascinating and love watching them.
I moved this snake away because I dident want it biting the elderly lady I work for.
The key to most confrontations is not to agrivate them and to admire and keep away. Most bites are caused due to accidents and being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Snakes are not our enemies but rather crucial to our environments.
