maybe a north american rattle snake. Did you try and do a Steve Irwin, wind it up loads ann have it nearly bite you then say your doing it a favour and move it of the track. Lol that man is crazy, but very funny

I've forgotten what the snake was, but I did look it up on the internet at the time and it was one of our indigenous species ( an adder or grass snake or something similar) It was only about 12 inches long so I wasn't scared of it, but I was a bit concerned to read that they can grow to about 3 foot!!!! In other words it was only a baby!!! A bite can be dangerous so watch out. They often hang around under metal sheets which get warm in the sun, so watch out when shifting anything like that - maybe even up-turned wheel barrows. We should all do our best not to hurt them as they do belong in the woods and are an endangered species. Apparently they are much more scared of us than we are of them, so the best way to avoid contact is to make plenty of noise as you walk about.

So basically take care when gitting a wheel barrow and if face with one, in the works of Steve Irwin you should stare it in the eyes and dont move and you will not been seen by it, and it will move on!

What Steve Irwin do you watch. I watch the one where he has fights to the death with crocodiles and tells you what not to do to a deadly creature and then he preceeds to do it.
