Not as good looking as the Tasmanian Tiger snake who has the worst venom but no fangs. Look them up, they are agressive here in Tasmania about now. Kids beware, they have segments of exposed jaw that tear the skin and smother it with their toxins. Reports vary but breathing and heart trauma are the killing part of our protected 6' garden pest. Top shot by the way from a fang doting killer. I would use a 600mm to get this shot, ours come onto our garden to drink the water, 3 ' away
