[QUOTE="Grey Panner, post: 663089, member: 15464"] I have never encountered an aggressive snake, quite the contrary. We were camped by a creek near Trunkey and saw a red-bellied black snake foraging on the creek bank about 20 metres away. The next day it was foraging about 10 metres away. On the third day, ignoring us completely, or perhaps accepting our presence as non-threatening, it was right amongst us, checking out the holes we were digging under water and investigating grass clumps we were pulling up. Concerned that there might be a misunderstanding resulting in a hurried bite I attempted to persuade the snake to move on by lifting it with a long-handled shovel (very long-handled) and depositing it some distance away. It kept coming back to where we were working, still exhibiting no aggression, It was the most companiably poisonous snake I have ever encountered. We gave it best and moved some distance away and left it to its placid foraging. [/QUOTE]
