Ps - Very few species of snakes get "aggressive" They get very defensive when they feel threatened.. In Australia, the Eastern brown is the only "aggressive" snake we have. The rest get hyper-defensive.. and will strike without warning when threatened. You must always realise, the snake can't talk, it cant growl like a dog to tell you its feeling threatened, its only method of simple, quick conveyance of this message is to strike.. There are many subtle signs, like the flattening out of the body, repeated tongue flicks and posing that can give away when a snake is scared..
I've caught and relocated about 30 snakes in my local area in the past 4 months.. they are definitely out in force this year.. I would caution everyone to watch your step..
