[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 663009, member: 4012"] For those who haven't seen it, the backstory to the above amazing pic of the young woman and the brown snake, is that she is a professional snake-catcher and was having a rest break after capturing and relocating that very snake. When it made its surprising reappearance, she already knew that it was in a chill mood despite having been captured, bagged, transported and re-released, so she understood that the safest action was to remain calm, sit still and let it go past, as any sudden movement might alarm it enough to reflexively strike. That proved to be the right call. Her colleague took photos to illustrate the point that interfering with snakes going about their business is dangerous - leave them be and don't risk your life. Call in an expert to remove them, if necessary. [/QUOTE]
