queimada grande: Having spent some good time in the Aussie bush, I always felt my respectful regard for snakes oh please, dear God, don't let me step on one'- was reasonable and life preserving, according to Nine News Australia. So, I'm sure you can sympathise with me when I say I was less than enthusiastic when informed of my latest assignment Ilha de Queimada Grande, an island off the coast of Brazil, was to be the destination, which sounded exotic and exciting until I was told its better-known name of 'Snake Island'. Initially I thought there was some journalistic licence at play over the naming rights of the place but sadly, no. To improve your experience update it here News National60 Minutes What I discovered on 'Snake Island'By Tara Brown 60 Minutes Reporter10 30pm Mar 24, by a quick straw poll, there seems to be two types of people in this world those who find snakes fascinating, and those who find them frightening, in a make-my-skin- crawl visceral kind of way. It is home to 4000 Golden Lancehead Vipers some of the world's deadliest snakes. It didn't help that my guide was Australian, Dr Bryan Fry, a self-confessed snake geek whose first true love was venomous snakes. The island itself is relatively small 1.5 kilometres long and only 500 metres wide, which to my mind made the chance of stepping on one of these deadly serpents very high, no matter how many private prayers I muttered.
