Not sure as they all tend to look similar at the distances I like to
maintain. It looked fairly "flat' in the region behind the head. This would
indicate two things. 1) it is probably a Tiger snake 2) it is starting to
get ****ed off. The steps to take in those circumstance are large ones and a
good quantity of them as well.
They have a very good antivenom avilable in most hospitals in Australia
these days, but they are still a dangerous snake. Like most native animals
it is a protected species here, however, in the country, they often succumb
to tree branches that fall on them from above. Above is usuually about
shoulder height of the local farmer.
There are more highly venemous snakes here but the Tiger is the most often
cause of snake bite because of their agressive nature.
