The way it works in America is if its a diamond head and had oval eyes its venomous. As well as the saying and other versions of this is Red touch black, safe for Jack. Red touches yellow, kills a fellow. It is brown but there are other harmless snakes that are brown the harmless ones are normally skinny...

Ah okay then, definitely better to be safe though. And I meant we literally have the common brown snake which is venemous.

Ah ok.. my bad...
