The tiger snake has a really mean reputation for being aggressive. While this is true to some extent, the aggression is usually driven by fear when the tiger snake becomes startled.
Anybody that has ever kept a tiger snake as a pet will tell you that they are actually quite a placid snake when compared to some of the other deadly Australian snakes.
The problem with the tiger snake is that it has really poor sensors. It can not hear you and can not see you and as a result, often leaves it until it is too l;ate to get out of the way.
Tiger snakes have killed people, they are a deadly snake. The trick is to be VERY mindful of where you are putting your feet, and if you do see a tiger snakes make a commotion to try and scare it away.
Like all snakes the tiger snake just wants to get out of the way, but it needs to know that you are there first!
