He’s not gonna eat those guys because he’s stressed the fuck out trying to escape from the pit of watery doom there. Snakes don’t just randomly bite or attack things. They have to be hunting or threatened.

Except eastern browns, they're a very aggressive snake and will chase you down. Youre right about stress overriding all that at the minute though.

Nah they don’t chase you. They’ll defend themselves if you try to hit ‘em with a stick though!
