I can handle spiders, they don't scare me, but snakes - AAARRRGGGHHH - I even have problems with the little non-venemous grass snakes we have in the UK - when I took the kids to the zoo I was in & out of the reptile house in less than a minute and looking for somewhere to have a smoke!
The only good snake is one that's been treated to both barrels of a 12-bore loaded with 'swan-shot'.....

Hi Dave
Despite my pics of a tiger snake on the dashboard, you really have to try hard to fins a snake - they're not exactly slithering hither and thither so thickly you can't avoid stepping on them... but on the other hand, if you DO want to see them you can!
If you come to Corowa and spend your time inside a Ferret you'll be pretty safe!
Incidentally the tiger snake was rather relaxed - in fact it had completely lost interest in it's surroundings thanks to getting stuck in some bird netting the day before.
