What is the brown snakes height?

Hi,

Brown snakes are disseptivley large. In comparision to to most venomous snakes in is big (at adult size). An adult can grow between 1.5 - 2.0m long, but remain relativly thin in diameter which gives them good speed and manoverability. Supposedly it is the 2nd most venoumous snake in existence, the latter of the Inland Taipan. However, the brown snake is much more abundant, more viscous and lives in highly dense areas of human populationwhich makes me believe that the chances of being bitten are much more likley, making it (for me) the most dangerous venomous snake in the world.

Thanks,

Chris.
