My thought is to rather stay well clear. Sighting this little guy is so rare that it's the first time in a decade I saw a NON venomous snake. The dangerous ones are common. I must say I was not so thrilled about them handling this one because I don't want them to think it's normal

I've only seen a couple of snakes since we came to Aus, thankfully. We're in the suburbs, though, so not too surprising.
Hopefully they mostly retain their instinct to keep away from snakes. I would have the same concerns. I never wanted my girls to be overly freaked out by snakes, just make a calm retreat. They were a bit older than your little ones when we came here, though. They seemed to understand pretty well, in the wild leave it alone, but would pet one in a pet shop when they knew it was safe.
