Think our Coral snakes are about the same as a Bandy Bandy.

Never seen one though. Would like to though!
There was a fellow named Bill Dunmall. He was a friend of a friend and died in the early 2000's of cancer. But the friend (he's 83) and Bill used to travel Aus meeting aboriginees when they were still living mainly in tribes and catching snakes. He has the snake Furina dunmalli named in his honour (i think he may have discovered it?). So he's my inspiration.
