I hate that, there are a lot of things that look like snakes in the long grass at first glance.

I've heard from 2 farmers that those tiger snakes can stand up (not lierally), hiss and run at you when they're protecting their young and apparently they can really move.
Better proceed with caution Krafty.
Was walking the dog last week, I happened to look up and there was a snake crossing the road, don't know what kind, he had a whitish belly with a tinge of green and a light coppery colour with a tigery pattern on it's back, so maybe a Tiger??? I reckon it was close to 2 foot.
Bloody thing had more guts than I did, I threw a stick at it and it just kept oozing towards me, needless to say I retreated.

Bloody hell, didn't know they could jump. I've only ever killed one with a shovel. I was surprised how tough the bloody thing was, I really had to scew down on the sucker to hurt it.

Poor choice of words i suppose. But it came half a metre of the ground

My pet python can compress (makes the classic 's' shape) around a third of its length and suspend it off the ground ready to strike. And it's lightning quick too!

Reminds me of a time way back in the past, well sort of, when I was doing a psychology subject at uni(it was that or study the logic of dead greeks, plus the chicks were hotter and more numerous) we had to take part in upper student experiments.
Enter this room, stand on this line and he uncovers a snake in a glass cage and reclines in bean bag with clipboard. Then it was rate my fear from1 low to 10 high as I stepped on succession of lines, I'm rolling out 1,1,1,1,1, ... and finally immediately in front of the cage comes "Reach into the cage and pat the snake".
STOP: I don't know about snake raising up, but he was sure out his bean bag very fast. I guess the lovely diamond python must have been a biter or something to get that response.

This brown was quick but a load no 2 shot was quicker
Since I don't own a shotgun, if I had a brown heading towards me, MY brown would be a LOT faster than your shotgun.

We used to get a lot of browns and red bellies at our old place, the guy up the road used to show off by catching them with his bare hands. As far as I know he never missed, but I haven't see him for a long time.

Maybe I should find an insurance company who offers snake insurance, although I'm back in the shorter grass as of today, even sharing the paddocks with cows, but the F'ers (and steers) still wont help me.
