Smart snake must have been looking in to a bit of real estate for a resettlement plan

I would say the salesman wasnt very keen on the new customer though thinking he looked like a bit of a slippery operator

at least the snakes belly was higher than the estate agents.

Tis the season again

Snakes are out and about in large numbers
Touch wood not in my yard but have been in 2 out of 4 of my neighbours
Was a very good season for them last year with all the mice around
They are very healthy and large for this time of the year
Just spent the last hour trying to coax a 2 metre brown out from under about 5 tons of brick rubble............... unfortunately didnt work and gave up after the light faded
Hopefully the blue cattle dog marks on his backside might have done enough damage to make it deceased

I got a brown snake on the way home in the semi, 16 ton of truck ruined his day

A saucer of milk will coax him out, they can't resist it... but if his spine is injured he will more than likley die and make a good pong under those bricks! Keep an eye out for meat ants, a sure sign of a dead snake!

Hi Guys

Snakes are a problem every summer for those folk who live in the country and I don't care what the conservationists say. in my world if they come near the house, they are a dead snake. I thought I would share one of many encounters with you.

My wife called out to me that she saw a big brown near a lamb which had just been born. I said run up to the house and get my shotgun and some cartriges while I keep an eye on the snake. She came back with my .303 and a packet of .22 bullets. So I killed it with the rack I was leaning on. You can tell my wife is not into weapons.

Cheers

Tony

Hey Tony - if you will leave .22 bullets next to a .303 rifle what is Jo expected to do.

Point the rifle and yell...'BANG'????

Ahhh, snakes: glad to have left them behind, but am now wary of (1) Bears -both Black and Grizzly (2) Cougars/Mountain Lions (3) Moose (4) Coyotes (5) Bison (yes, even they are known to maul stupid humans who show no respect).... and Americans say they are fearful of visiting Oz because of the nasties!! Go figure that one out.....
