All animals are gorgeous, except for snakes 🐍😂

I am very pleased to live in a place whose snake population is small in number, small in size, and entirely non-venomous.
Same thing with the venomous bugs around here, nothing that can kill you would you forget to shake your shoes.
The snakes here in Australia generally leave you alone unless they feel threatened. There were plenty of brown snakes around where I lived when I was growing up and never had any issues with them.
I nearly stepped on the head of an Eastern Brown when I was seven. Poor thing was sunbathing (morning coffee for snakes) and didn't hear me coming.
It totally freaked and took off like a bolt of brown lightning, was still going at a fast clip when it went over the top of the hill in the next paddock.
Browns are cool. World #2 for venom, but they don't start fights with anything larger than a rat.
Tiger snakes, OTOH, especially big females, be like "you looking at me, #%&£? YOU LOOKING AT ME!??".
No, I'm not looking at you, in fact I think I'll take a different path after all...
