Well I'm drawing on the many hours I watched of "Crocodile Hunter", I was
under the impression that the Fierce Snake was the hands-down champ as far
as toxicity of venom, but seem to recall that it's really not that
aggressive a snake. Steve seemed to have much more concern (and difficulty)
with handling the Black Mamba when he was in Africa compared to the Fierce
Snake in Oz. Then again, maybe that was just because it wasn't his home
turf....
