"You've always got to treat a snake as if it is poisonous, never be complacent around them," Lamb noted.

Well... not all wildlife experts are herpetologists.

Yes, he should have said "venomous" to be accurate, but then again, if locals typically refer to such snakes as "poisonous", it makes sense to tailor one's responses so the
less-educated masses understand when being quoted. He wasn't speaking to a herpetological group here, but for the public.

Yeah .. if in doubt it’s simply best to not EAT the snake :)
