[QUOTE="David-Karratha, post: 629825, member: 22207"] Good advice. Just remember not all snakes will always bugger-off when you approach - most will, most of the time, but not always. Ive had king brown snakes in SA actively chase me - I believe this occurs when theyve got eggs in the area (or theyre about to lay eggs). As a kid out setting rabbit traps, these things always kept me on my toes. The Australian Death Adder is an ambush predator, and will typically lay still and try and rely on its camouflage to remain hidden. The old bush lore was that these things would bite the third person (when walking single-file). The first person annoys them, the second person makes them angry, and they then bite the third person [/QUOTE]
