They don't bother me very much, Snakes just about allways flee when you get near them.
every one I've ever caught I've had to chase after.
If you Pin a redbelly Black snake it will rearly strike at the stick you pinning it with untill it's made every effort to escape. If you step on one it will likely do the same. It's not likely to wait there to be stepped on either.
Brown snakes are a bit different tho' while they are also not likely to hang around when they sence you comming, if you do step on one they are very likely to strike what ever is pinning them down if they can.
Spent a whole day once, catching Tiger snakes, with old man Gow, so he could take photo's for one of his Books. You havent lived untill you've had a tiger by the tail
He'd been bitten many many times over the years but it was the smokes that got him in the end Poor bloke.
