Q "Bugger this, how do you make 10000% sure it's a safe snake? "
A You could strike it repeatedly with a shovel

:) I would never do that, but.. since you asked

The snake photographed really well. I think you're really very brave Jano:-)

I love this one.. Grew up in a woods where we had a lot of these and black snakes (both harmless). The position, the peering, the look in the eye.. perfect..

Good capture, Jano. Makes me remember the times I reached into the plants for a strawberry and ended up with one of these guys instead.
