    Eastern Brown & Mainland tiger snake. Based on where you live the snakes distribution and their known grumpiness.

    How bad where the bites, I know that taipan bites are damn bad but I know nothing about the tiger snake could you give us some more info like how long it took
    to recover and any after effects / treatment etc

    Ahh, i managed to get antivenom pretty quick, so both times i got bit i just felt dodgy for a week after. The doctors reckon i poisoned the snake.

    Sod that mate! I thought it was game over if you got hit by a taipan?,I once got bitten by a female wolf spider,I was so suprised as I never knew we had any spiders that could bite over hear,bloody hurt but can't imagine what a snake bite must be like. Paul

    Ahh, its never game over until you're cold and dead :P They can kill very quickly, just depends on the person. Dad was the one who got hit by the taipan, and he lasted over an hour without noticing he'd been hit, then another hour and a half bandaged getting to and waiting in the line at emergency.
