This is a bit odd. People from both ends of the continent report entirely different behaviour for the 'same' snake. Browns and Blacks seem to exhibit classic snake behaviour: running away unless cornered, whereas Tigers, as noted, are confrontational.
I know that now and autumn are the most 'aggro' times of year for snakes 'round here. Mating/hibernating as it were.
I also know that what a snake considers threatening is castly different from what I would consider threatening.
But I'm genuinely puzzled as to why a snake so venemous is so aggressive.
Or why, for that matter, in this part of Australia which has never been short of food, a snake needs to be that venemous at all?
Any ideas?
