I go bush walking alone in some really secluded places, so if I ever get bitten, I am screwed... hence why I run like a bitch no matter what the snake if I near tread on the bugger hahaa.. generally they don't phase me too much though so long as they are not in striking distance
Why run from a brown snake?
I've heard they are pretty fast.
My brothers friend almost ran one over on a dirt bike and said they thing was keeping up with him until he got to 60km.
They must move fast when angry?
No idea? All I know is I've nearly stepped on 2 red bellies.
First one was hunting a bird in long grass so it wasn't bothered about us.
The second one I think I disturbed while it was hibernating under a sandstone rock which I was destroying with a crowbar so we could dig a hole to put up a cyclone fence!
