Just played with a Papuan taipan
Never again
Less than 3 metres but what an attitude
Cobras are easy
Most Aussie elapids not toooo bad either [although Im not keen on brownies at times]
This thing was like trying to hold a length of barbed wire running 240volts
Using hook and tail to start it was calm enough until I wanted it in a bag
Instead of trying to get away when I dropped it near ground level it
just turned straight back every time to have a go
[at nearly 3metres it didnt have to go far]
Only other snake I have played with and did as often that was a green mamba
