2nd = A Marsh Snake me and craig23 found today.

3rd = A Small Eyed Snake my dad caught today.

A little bit of both. Looking at the photos I was a little too relaxed. His head got pretty close to me.

i will get a hold of a photo a mate has of him holding a 6ft coastal taipan and a nearly 6ft fiercy its unbelievable. bit to relaxed with them i think he is he just holds them in his hands just keeps head away from his head they are sooo placid. but its pretty irresponsible of him i would hate to be the owner of them and they bit him. well he knows snakes heaps better than me.

They are very reluctant to bite, but when they do, they hit you 3-4 times. I just got nailed before.
