Since Odie's thread got locked when it drifted onto this subject i thought i would start new one to dicuss it.
It seems the majority of ppl consider eastern browns to be the most dangerous snakes in Austrailia and there are countless stories about them chasing and attacking ppl under various circumstances.
There is also a considerable number of experienced herpers who claim that they cannot be aggresive or chase ppl.
I know that with alot of stories you get the fisherman style exageration and generally a 1.5-2m easern brown is always a 10' king brown
but i have heard true stories from ppl who dont BS about that sort of thing about being chased by eastern browns that have been stirred up by something or someone.
I personally believe they can aggresively defend themselves when they cannot easily escape a percieved threat. What are others thoughts on the aggresiveness or peacefulness of the eastern brown?
