Fair and square

Anyway, the original story is about snakes and it has caused far more damage than it was worth, the average snake is not a problem, it's when it's pushed to the extreme.

Alright. Mambas should be feared because they are faster than you and will chase you.
Adders, and Fer de Lance's because they hide so well even them rubbing their scales together isn't enough of a warning
Large constrictors because you become the food once they grow large enough.

Cobras are just different, especially the king.

The two most venomous snakes in the world have never killed anyone.. or at least there is no record of them killing anyone.

That’s because no one makes it out alive and there’s no remains left over.

Nah, neither could swallow a human, but the body either sinking or being feasted on in the middle of the outback are very real possibilities.
