@UltimateFighting666 think I'l leave that one to the Hopaote and the footballers

one of these bastards killed my dog this morning... good job there was two dogs though...

[pbrskater26]

Whats cool is that red bellies are an elapid, same family as cobras!

[pseudechis]

@pbrskater26 True: They can flatten their necks out when they fell threatened as well , although not quite to the same extent as a cobra can.

All venomous land snakes in Australia are elapids.

I'm a big reptile guy, I wont to work with reptiles for a living, my dream job is Australia Zoo, I really looked up to Steve Irwin

I am so excited! I am taking delivery of a pair of Red Bellies on Thursday! I can't wait!

Great video. RBB's are a magnificent species.

@SaveTheSnakes

Lucky you....they really are great snakes and quite placid...but be careful when feeding them...they can get pretty excited!

[SaveTheSnakes]

@pseudechis Indeed. I have seen Red Bellies in action when it comes to food. they are quite the pigs of the snake world.
