Thread: Snakes alive!!

We have 27 acres of bush, rocks & hills around our place.
We constantly have snakes, possums, wallabies, bandicoots & such around the place.
Once had a 2m python on the patio table while SWMBO & I had a wine out there, will turn the light on in future, it just lay there & watched us while we sat there & watched it.


On an amusing note, a couple of nights later I curled up my platted leather belt & put it in SWMBO's side of the bed about half way down.


The bruises only took a couple of weeks to heal.


BTW a lot of folks around our way keep Guanine (spelling?) Fowl which are supposed to keep snakes away.

Tell me, Is it a myth or is it true, that while you have a python around, you are not going to get other snakes around?

Either way, it's a good line to use

We have several which come back to the same place for their winter holidays each year i.e. the ceiling of the granny flat.
I think we have one more this year as the missus saw one only about a metre long going in. Must be one of the offspring.
Makes a rooftop tent look easy to get into, hey?

Love the welcome mat out, but the door was closed
