Quote - Where I'm at, it is more likely to be a rattlesnake in the wood pile...

I have a book called "Australia's Dangerous Creatures" published by Readers Digest. In its introduction to Australian snakes it says in part "At least 10 are more lethal than an Indian Cobra and America's feared Rattlesnake would barely rank in our top twenty.

Where I live in Tasmania, we are the only place in the world that has snakes, that doesn't have a non poisonous one. The Tiger snake and Copperhead's are both as deadly as a cobra. Really  makes me want to put on a pair of sandals and go kicking around in long grass.
