[QUOTE="Digginholes, post: 107127, member: 2490"] Once while looking for blue tongue lizards I crouched down to look through a pipe on the ground to see if there was anything living in it I had a 2m brown snake come out and slither straight past my face, by the time I realised it was there it was close enough to get me, I had all sorts of things run throughout head but was frozen stiff as it went past, I've had quite a few snake encounters and I recon the best thing to go is not make any fast or threatening movements that will scare them, be aware and back away slow and calm unless one is already angry and comes at you then run like hell lol tiger and browns are known to be territorial and chase people so I also make sure I have some thing to put between me and them like a long handle shovel ;) Also most snake bites occurr when people try to kill the snake. . Leave them be and they'll let you live( most of the time anyway) [/QUOTE]
