Far away in a place (thanks Susan) we had a big snake experience one night in a bunker. It was bayoneted (actually butt stroked) and passed around to inspect. Being a young expert who grew up in snake country (AZ) I assured everyone it was harmless. It wasn't, but turned out to be a Krait. No one ever returned to ask my expert advice again. :-P Now Ric's snake looks serious enough to give it a wide berth.
