Can anyone offer me any advice on killing Ophidians? Actually, can anyone offer me any advice on simply not getting slaughtered by them.

As soon as I go near them, e.g. by teleport from Moonglow - I die. I would explain a bit more, but it really is that simple - I teleport, I die.
I can occasionally run about for a few seconds, but end result the same - I die.

I may just be too teeny tiny to go there, but that would just be sad.

These guys are really wrecking my fun, and costing me a fortune in insurance.

Any advice (including 'just stay away") would be welcome.

PS - I gotta kill some cos stupid Gorrow in Luna told me too.
