[QUOTE="Ben78, post: 50948, member: 206"] One more thing, Red Bellys can be VERY curious. I had one poking its head in my backpack one morning before moving on after I gave it a shove with my rod. If you are approached by a Red Belly just know that he isn't being aggressive he just wants to see whats up - if you react as if you think it's an aggressive snake then you may end up bitten. I have spent literally 15 minutes sitting on riverbanks watching a Red Belly check me out. If you do see a snake in the bush do as Goldpick says above and hold still, if you aren't moving they don't really see you and don't perceive you as a threat. [/QUOTE]
