I prefer a 243 at fifty paces but have used a 22 from the safty of the raised front verandah I did use shovel once but the snake was only ten inches long and on the cement path.

Hello Eric
You would have to be careful saying things like that i might take you up on that offer
As for white tail spiders we have had a few of those creeping into the area in the last few years as well , never had any up till about five years ago
I thought they were exported from your end

Robert I like the way you dispatch the buggers .My neighbours are only about 50 metres away so i am now a bit limited in what i can use

Default snakes

I had to get close enough to use the 22 today, a red bellied black was in the shed with my blitz. There wasn't much left worth photographing after I turned it into swiss cheese with 7 hollow points

Very good
A religous snake is a good snake (very holy)
One less to watch out for
I have not had any more in the yard lately (touch wood )that i have seen anyway

Temperatures have been a bit unpredictable the last month
A few weeks ago we had one of the lowest tempertures recorded for this time of the year then less than a week later 36c
Last wednesday we had 37.2
Overcast today ,sitting on 28 at present

Thought I would revisit this thread to remind our other side of the planet allies about warmer times

Today in my backyard it is overcast , strong westerly breeze and a mild 39 degrees c
roughly translated 103 degrees farenheit

quite glad it is overcast as it would be getting into the warm area of the thermometer otherwise

39 degrees is nothing. With wind chill that's what we are. Oh, wait, were you talking plus or minus? I'm going outside now with a couple of aerosol cans to hasten that global warming they keep talking about!
