Baritji they could just be exception.....they do have a reputation as being a relativly placid snake. At taronga they had 1 that was as clam as anything. The keeper said that that is not un common.

Im not saying its not an exception, but whichever site PK got that fact from is giving the wrong impression, it is implying that all are placid. Which they are not!

 

[ether]

Thanks pythonkisses for at least taking the time to add some interesting information ! Although some may be inacurate.

What website did you get it off ?

 

[Magpie]

Also, the scrubbie is the longest australian snake, not the largest.

 

[Guest]

Yes the largest would be Liasis olivaceus barroni would it not?
