Are redbellies particularly dangerous? I've never heard of someone dying from one.
We had some living in the bush near where we used to play. They never bothered us at all, cowardly little ones.
I almost stepped on a young brown snake once when I was stoned, that was fun. Nothing sobers you up like the adrenaline your body puts out when you nearly got yourself killed. I was not anywhere where I could get medical attention in time.
Brown snakes are grumpy fuckers, they chase where most let you leave. Not a fan.
Redbellies are only aggressive if threatened, unlike the browns that gets territorial and will go you. Redbellies aren't lethal as far as I know, but they'll mess up the body bad, especially a kid; necrosis from clotting, nerve damage, huge swelling, etc. Also definitely depends on the bite. Used to be friends with a snake handler who got bit by a coastal taipan and got anti-venom within the hour, but ended up being a dry bite (or mostly) anyway.
The one I hit with the mallet had just been knicked by the neighbour's chainsaw cutting up the log out of a huge fallen tree. I had the mallet because I was doing my kid best to hit steel wedges in to help split the wood off. Suddenly, very pissed off snake going toward me fast.
