[QUOTE="jethro, post: 570886, member: 1297"] Buy a pair of snake gaitors. Or,, failing that newspaper and duct tape around your lower legs. Watch where you are walking and dont step over logs without looking on the other side first. Luckily most Australian snakes have fairly short fangs compared to other continents so gumboots or heavy wetsuit leggings over or under good trousers. will help. Snakes rarely strike without some sort of prior warning, whether it be hissing or posturing agressively. Carry a compession bandage and know how to use it. I would rate the brown as the most dangerous snake in Vic and not just because of their venom. They are a really skitish snake that is really quick to take offence when cornered. Tigers can be agressive around mating time. Blacks and copperheads are pretty docile. Just be aware of where you are about to step and make plenty of noise when walking through the bush and you will rarely see them. ;) [/QUOTE]
