Never seen one in our backyard Anya and we have a laneway behind with no front driveway.

But when we lived in Merredin, they loved the place - maybe it was the chook yard.

Friend is a vet and he's treated 27 dogs this year with snakebite.... big year for snakes.

This little fella was stalking about my front yard last week



Apparently the baby browns are heaps more deadly than their grown ups. They hit you with all they have on their first bite, the adults meter the dose delivered in proportion to the size of the animals they hit.

I shifted him to a secluded wildlife space near a water source about 7km from town.
