    The Tiger snakes in Tasmania are less venomous than the Tigers snakes on the Australia mainland. I've seen a lot in Australia while out walking and I've seen a few in Tasmania. I've never had one chase me. The closes I've put my foot next to one was about 15cm. When I saw it, my heart rate jump up. I was lucky it didn't bite me.

    I have walked many remote hiking paths in Tasmania and frequently come across tiger snakes on the paths or amongst the button grass. I'm always aware they are around but every now and then they spook you and leave you a bit on edge for a while. I always find a clearing to camp and am cautions on entering huts or abandoned settlements. I once did disturb a number of tiger snakes on a river bed as I was trying to make my way out of a canyon and they were on a slope of shale that came down as I was ascending. My lasting memory was watching three or four literally pursue me as I hopped from boulder to boulder along the river. PS Aussies go into the bush wearing thongs armed with a snake bite kit.

Always chilling to read how some people manage to get bitten even without realising the cause. That’s the danger when no immediate action is taken.

    We were out horse riding, about 4/5 people when a tiger snake started making it way towards us. I have been told tiger snakes can be aggressive in mating season. Tiger snakes are one of Australia's most aggressive snake, beware when your out walking. Saying all that, I was once out horse riding on my own when my horse side stepped a puddle when I looked down I was a tiger snake, coiled up only a few inches away from my horses foot, never striked her, maybe because we were both calm as we didn't see it till the last minute, another time had a small tiger living in our chook pen, again didn't know it was there when I moved to he chook laying box to clean be and my young 5/6 yo son stated there was a snake there and said it do calmly that I didn't believe him at first, but sure enough it was there coiled up, I had to shoe it out of the shed and it didn't act aggressively. My favourite snakes are red bellied black snake.
