I've been lucky and I've seen snakes just twice in my life. There really don't seem to be many of them in Europe. Or they hide somewhere far away from people :)
When you come to Switzerland, let me know. I will be happy to take you around :)

I had friends that came across a brown snake they claim it chased them while they were walking on a dirt road. luckily someone in a car saw what was happening and ran the snake over. This didn't kill the snake but it was enough to send the snake in the opposite direction. Snakes don't normally chase people and apart from this case running over them is not a good idea as often they can get caught up under the car and you could take them home with you. I've had a few in my back yard. A couple of times I've found the cat sitting very still having a staring competition with one. The snake has it's reared up and is also keeping very still. Quite scary I've had to pull the cat away risking myself getting bitten. I did read a story in the paper once about a cat and snake staring at each other for days apparently the snake died I think from dehydration.
CrickeY! the ultimate stare off! hehe
Yeah the Australian Common brown is a very aggressive/grumpy snakes as far as snakes go. If you tick them off or follow them, they will hiss and coil to strike where most others will just slide away very quickly, bit like those King Browns we grew up with - those guys tend to just flee vs. get all up tight...but thats just my observations.
