Red Back Spiders

Certainly explains why there's no snakes around!

PS: There was 6, but only 5 are photogenic enough for the camera. The first one became a victim to my lightning fast reflexes.

I think Jiff is interested in acquiring a redback spider colony, and I know he takes a keen interest in our deadly reptile population - seems we can give him what he's hankering after so go on, Tony, send him a parcel and Andrew can send the rest of the brood he found.
