[QUOTE="Tathradj, post: 91448, member: 2436"] Oh Dear, Ok for you guy's over in the west and true, A small Brown or black bugger will have trouble getting through a pair of thick socks and jeans. We got one sneaky little mongrel over here in the east that is considered one of the fastest and heaviest striking snakes on the planet. . Bloody thing hides in the rubbish or what ever it can find, Including sand and if you come any where near it's striking range ,,, I hope that you at least have decent leathers on. Death Adder. Yes, It does strike almost level with the ground but can see any unprotected skin or an area that emits more "heat" than others. Armed with fangs that are disproportionately long for it's build, It has no problem penetrating jeans, socks, thin gumboots or some thing along those lines. . I have seen Tiger snakes go to a fair bit of trouble to sink their fang's in to a knee, groin height area because their eye sight is very weak but their sensory skill's are very impressive. There are only two snakes I will not handle in Spring/Summer. Tiger Snake, Copper Head. Bloody fast and verrry aggressive. [/QUOTE]
