two brown snakes

The male in the background was making advances, but was rejected. Clearly, he was out of his league! The coastal taipan is one of the most venomous snakes in the world, but will generally leave you in peace if you leave them in peace. The inland taipan is generally considered to be the most venomous land snake in the world, but people rarely come into contact with it. Photo taken at Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures.
