How big is the biggest snake you`ve seen?
Not the trouser snake either.

Largest dead snake ever found in Florida

Had a 1.5m sea snake wrap itself around me and look into my face mask as it could see its reflection. Just hoped it wasn't getting amorous!
 
Sea snakes are so different to their land cousins A neighbours son is a diver He always talks of how inquisitive the sea snake is And non aggressive

It would still frighten the bejesus out of me though We have a a carpet snake in the shed he would be 3mtres max We live and let live But gwardas and dugites the two main bities here I keep well clear of But I do not kill them

Make plenty of noise and you will rarely if ever see them Though you know there out there watching every single step you take AAARGH Mummy I am not going outside again
 
They are quite different to their land cousins. However in mating season they can be aggressive.

Of land snakes tiger snakes are the ones that worry me the most as those little buggers stand their ground.

bit of a myth.. ive come accross quite a few tigers round bibra lake and whiteman park... and bang ... they take off and disappear as quickly as most snakes.
its juvenile snakes that are the most aggressive as they are prey for alot of animals.
ive walked right up to large king browns and being apex preditors they either just ignore you or give a bit of a warning hiss if they think your close enough because being so big they dont see you as a threat
 
The most dangerous time for snakes is when the weather starts to cool. Being cold-blooded (o.k. exothermic) they are sluggish in cooler weather and cannot get out of your way so easily. That is when they may fall back on plan B and threaten you or bite if you get close enough.

I have encountered a few different types of snakes bushwalking and so far have never had a confrontation. They have all just slithered quietly away and I have had a look at them if they are close enough but otherwise I Ieave them alone and they return the favour.

Must have been juveniles I have run across then.
 
This one terrifies me on so many levels!

I've been trail running in the national parks around NE Victoria for the last 35 years and I've probably only seen a dozen snakes - mostly tigers or red bellied black snakes. The biggest I've seen was a brown snake around 6ft, most hear me coming and are long gone. However the dusty tracks in summer show lots and lots of snake trails where they've crossed at night so the best way to see how many there are out there is just to camp by the creek.
