Australian boy's egg collection hatches.

The 3-year-old boy found a clutch of eggs in his yard and took them home. Those eggs have hatched Eastern brown snakes, which are very venomous. He's lucky not to have been bitten.

Unlike the USA and Canada, the average snake in Australia is very venomous. In fact, the ten top venomous land snakes are found there.

That's because most snakes in Australia are in the deadly Elapidae family of snakes.

In the USA, as well as Canada, most snakes belong to the mostly harmless (a few rare exceptions) Colubridae family of snakes.
