Whoa there on the downer assessments on keeping brown snakes! Take a look at the posts on brown snake and redbelly snake (close relative) care on the Small Terrestrial Snakes forum, particularly posts by "dekaybrown". Some keepers seem to find them to be engaging captives that can feed in the open and sometimes from the keeper's fingers. Of course their housing requirements are a little more demanding than larger snakes like the kings and rats mentioned, and they're not so simple to handle, but not as bad as some of the other posters on this thread have implied.
