I am getting one as I had a brown snake hanging around my obeservatory/weekender and as I stumble around at night sometimes going to and from my observatory it would weigh on my mind at times. Especially
when I found one sliding under the house slab moving across the walkway I traverse several times a night
The snake in question is an Eastern brown, NOT a coastal taipan. Eastern browns are the second most venomous snake in the world. If that was a coastal taipan you wouldn't have been able to get so many pics of it, they are extremely shy snakes and will take off very fast.
As for snake repellers, they are a load of rubbish. The only thing you can do to try and keep snakes away from your property is by keeping it clen and clutter free, even then they will still wander through.
That is definitely a brown snake,,,,be careful,they'll be moving quick with this heat,,,,leave a bowl of milk near where you think he may be residing and hit him with a 12 Guage,,,,,did i say that,,,MAT

It was very nervous, moving each way quickly, but couldnt find any way to exit ... I was behind closed glass doors about 3 metres away with a nice zoom lens.
Hmm, 2nd most venomous snake in the world, ah, thanks Craig.
Another vote for a Brown Mat. hmm ... the only guages I work with are needles ... and that would be a mighty big thick one
