I'm Australian so we've always been taught to be wary of snakes; know that they're more scared of us than we are of them and give them a wide berth if spotted.
Snakes like to sun themselves on paths and people often don't see them until they're right on top of the poor thing
Yes, the vast majority of unearned bites are because people accidentally step on them.
...the vast majority of bites however, are earned, because people try to kill them, or capture them, and most bites are on the hands/face by drunken people, statistically.
As long as you don't accidentally step on them/something similar, they're really harmless animals.
So you're hanging out on Reddit to ensure people aren’t spreading snake lies?
that's admirable
I really love snakes and this misinformation leads to people killing them, and my heart just can't take that.
