First thing about snakes in general is that NONE of them are aggressive, the closest thing off the top of my head that comes close is a coastal taipan, those things are borderline psychopathic. But almost all snakes will choose to avoid over attack a human if given the choice.
I've read around that olives have a
VERY voracious feeding response, and I wouldn't want to be on the pointy end of one. I'd say olives are still defensive in comparison to other Aussie snakes like carpets, that can be big scaly puppy dogs!
