Snakes in the blue mountains
One of the most dangerous snakes is the eastern brown snake and it should rightly be regarded as being one of the most dangerous snakes up here in the blue Mts west of Sydney. Technically the next most dangerous snake is a red bellied black snake but the fatalities from this reptile are very low due to its timidity. They can often be seen near water. Tiger snakes, one of my favourites, are also seen in our area. These are highly dangerous and can move really quickly.
