Dangerous snakes

My sister's husband is doing a snake handling course as part of his job at the mine where he is an electrical engineer. Of course this mine is not in the UK, but in Australia. A few years ago there were so many sightings of dangerous snakes the environment agency told their workers to stay on site at the mine.
It is illegal to kill snakes in Australia - even dangerous ones. The snake catcher takes the snakes and releases them somewhere else.
Having lived in Australia and had a few encounters with dangerous snakes I know how scary this can be.
