Well maybe they are girly snakes compared to an inland taipan, brown or king brown snake, in terms of overall venom toxicity. However, consider that an average of 12 people PER YEAR die in the USA from rattlesnake bites. Then consider that 12 people wouldn't have died in the last 20 years from snake bite in Australia. So maybe they are girly snakes compared to an inland taipan, but they are far from toys, to be played with
