LoL you guy's should try my place. We have had Eastern Browns, Browns, Red belly
Blacks and it's silvery cousin the Swamp Snake. Plus the not so deadly Green snake,
actually we have one in the roof and the odd Python.

Now sometimes I'm am a lil paraniod when I walk out in the dead of night in my thongs.
But over the last 3-4 years living here I have never bumped into one in the middle
of the night. The red Belly Black is the only night hunter I know of but they tend to
stay clear of you. Although I have had them come pass while at the scope, so I tend
to move around a lil. The only reason I do that is if I observe an object for several
minutes one could slide through my feet if I have kept still, it's when I suddenly move
while one is sliding through will be the danger. Personally I think you would have to be
unlucky to get bitten. So if they do come sliding through just stay still until it moves
off not even a King Brown will hit you if you keep still, btw, you can still scream like
hell they wont hear you, just dont move.

The thing I find works best out here, keep the grass down and I mean down like a
nicely cut lawn. Snake dont like the open as they become prey as well. Brown snakes
are the worst only because they are aggressive by nature which is part of their
danger. If you have Red Belly Blacks which are more venomous but placid by nature.
You want to keep them around, they kill Brown snakes. And green snakes well they
take care of rhe mice and rat populous.
