    Look after the red bellies, they don't like to stick around people are more timid, wish I had a few around here to control the brown snakes. But alas frogs are on there diet list and they don't know cane toads will kill them, henceforth no black snakes lots of brown snakes and cane toads everywhere.
    The last dog attacking brown i found near the house died of 12g itis.

    Good way to get bitten mate!

    Most snake bites are from people trying to kill snakes...

    BTW, Guys... Paintball Guns will kill the things.... Couple of shots into the back breaks it...

    I'd take the red bellies over a brown etc anyday also. Its fascinating watching them hunt. This said, no snakes are even better, especially for the animals.

    Happy to report it's now far away from us after being caught....

    Had I lived in the middle of nowhere, it'd have met the 12 gauge, so it's just as lucky as we are, I think.
    It's just a baby! I'd be more scared of the shotgun!

    the red bellies are fine compared to some of the others..

    them plain black ones are the ones to watch, and the rough scaled and swamp tigers, not to mention king browns, they can be very agressive mongrels and will chase you down ...

    i hate snakes but wont go out of my way to kill them as a general rule.

    The guy that came and caught it for us said exactly that - and that Tiger snakes aren't aggressive and only bite when threatened. His is a job I wouldn't want for any money!

    Couldn't have got near it with a shovel/stick/gun anyway as it was half under a fence in a corner....best left to those who know what they're doing, I thought.

    No doubt about it tho, they are beautiful creatures.
    We get them passing thru here quite often. I dont usually mind because if you just exchange a G'day with
    them they will move on.
    Occasionally we get a Taipan or a Brown tho, they are the buggers that I take too with a shovel.
    The long handle basher is by the back door all year round. Hate to do it but they are just too dangerous
    and their eyes are too close together to be trusted, eh.

    Yeah, I was watching something about them on the TV the other day - glad we don't have either on the West coast, as they are supposed to be as aggressive as hell and strike multiple times. Bloody hate snakes.

    I'm afraid you do, brown snakes are very commom on the West coast, hence their name the western brown snake, are sometimes called/mistaken for a Dugite because they are the same species and are found west of Ceduna
