I once asked an Aussie friend how many of the Australian snakes were venomous,
"ALL OF THEM!"
She might have been a little phobic....
Yes, and no. Enough of them are venomous that you don't take chances. It's not like here in Michigan where there is only one venomous snake and it's relatively rare.
Thats the main difference UPhiker, Australia has 170 species of snake versus Americas 50 or so. 100 of Australias snakes are venomous.
