I think that you have shown one of these on your farm once before? I think I recall that species is not dangerous to humans? Don't farm over here though. We have 9 of the world's top ten on toxicity and I think 20 of the top 25. Number 2 is the Eastern Brown and those are the most common snake right here. I see one every several years in my suburban yard. They aren't aggressive unless provoked but you definitely treat them with respect if encountered. I think we have more venomous than non-venomous species so its a simple rule to treat all the same. The big pythons are pretty obviously not poisonous though, Just as well when they have been recorded up to 28 ft . More commonly only 10 or 15.
