Niek,

He said the snake was left abandoned in a residence in Florida, not that he bought it without knowing whether or not it was venomous. Had that been the case, then yes, by all means jump his rear.

Kevin,

It definitely appears to be some sort of Aussie/PNG elapid to me, though my word is far from gold. I've never kept any of the browns myself, but I'd have to agree with the Pseudonaja or Pseudechis assumption. By all means, be careful! Any individual out of either genus will put you 6' under relatively easily!
