Just imagine your excitement if you were a herpetologist walking along the busiest street in North Queensland, and up pops this fellow on the footpath, just one of the deadliest snakes in the world.
What frabjous joy!

Damn, I miss the place sometimes. Riding is so boring not having to dodge branches in case they're actually a bit deadly...
Just a grass snake innit?
What snake is it?
I was one room away from a Russell Viper in Myanmar a couple of years ago.... Scary.
What's the fuss? Sewers are full of brown snakes here too
Was he coming out of the sewer to escape from the spiders and crocodiles?
Brown Snake?
Inland Taipans are too timid to be in urban areas?
I was on one job where there was a nest of death adders on the fence line of the camp.

Met a few taipans in my time out west. Timid isn't the word I'd use. 🙂

It was Townsville, so I doubt there was any fuss, probably just a crowd getting selfies with it.
But it's great living in Scotland where you can just plunge into the undergrowth without upsetting the legless lizards, and swim without being harassed by giant water geckos or angry XXXXL dogfish...
I was a gardener in Airlie Beach. Most exciting moment was weed eating long grass down to the sea and a ****n croc was in amongst it. To say it was underwhelmed was an understatement. Big zig zag of me legging it with the weed eater going Brown snakes common enough and had a big hornets nest and some tree snakes land on me. Horrible. Although not as bad as the toad that managed to go up the dishwasher outlet and die in the dishwasher. Or the snake in the toilet.
