Legion, do you have one of these in your collection?

Whether they hunt all through the night tbh I forget. I know the coastal taipan and brown snakes will hunt late into the night, but you don't have coastals in your area. The death adder is an ambush predator and will sit in the same place for weeks; so though they aren't active hunters you might step on one at night; though I think where you are the deathies aren't real numerous if they are there at all. Copperheads tend to stay near water but aren't active at night if I remember rightly, though they can tolerate very low tepmeratures for a snake and may be active at night, though they hunt all day in or near the water. The red-bellied black and king brown I don't even know. Tigers are also known to be active at night; so you definately need to watch for them.

It's actually the active ones you would want at night; because they sense you long before you know they are there, and will most of the time run off. It's the ones you might interrupt in a bush or somewhere napping, and they get startled. I know sometimes I will go into my room and there will be some snakes right up against the glass, totally knocked out. If I tap on the glass gently they won't even budge, but if I slap the glass hard they freak out and are looking to defend themselves vigorously. It's quite funny as I do it to my monocled cobra Blondie all the time; that girl is totally knocked out in sleep and I scare the crap out of her.

Hmm Adders just under the tracks in the beach sand eh! walking into the bush tracks to the beaches of a night could be the one to watch then. Funny hey, we'll paddle out and surf a full moon in black water, but sh!t bricks the whole way down there and back now.

Snakes are only 1/2 your problem; you gotta be insane to go into the water at night. You got jellyfish, stonefish, sharks, blue ringed octopus. Do you guys have nets set up around where you go in the water?

Here's a guy on another forum I go to. He's from Melbourne and gets called out ot alot of snake rescues. He knows his Oz elapids for sure. Don't know if this link will work.

You were in the Armed Forces right? Probably had you do crazier sh#t than that. Sharks are terrifying to me; nothing but perfectly created killing machines. Eat, swim and make baby sharks. I love the ocean though from when I lived in California till I was 8; but those sharks are bad news.

speaking of snakes chasing you down, i hear mambas will chase you til they catch you. fact or fiction? or a bit of both?

those people that walk through the south american wetland looking to find anacondas by stepping on them, that's just f'ed up.

They won't chase you unless you get them in a tight spot. Mambas typically in the wild will take off if you get closer than 50 ft. But if you get them in a corner you better watch your ass. They can get close to 14ft and can raise 1/2 their bodies off the ground. That means they can hit you in the face and you're basically f#cked. Corner any animal and they'll fight, but mambas are in a class of their own, with only the taipans and brown snakes equal in ferocity.

You guys probably just sit back and laugh at how much I ramble abut snakes
