Thread: Cheeky Snake

Yeah, I seen a few browns on the footpath on the way to the train lately.

we get mainly copperheads here - pretty harmless, except if your a cat and then you might be off for a few days...

We lost 2 horses this year to suspected snake bites, the paddocks are seething with the little buggers

Hi Graceysdad, I lost my Jack Russell Terrier to a 5 ft. brown two Saturdays ago. Second JRT to go this way in the last 5 years.Very sad. Then when the Telstra tech came to fix the phone, we saw a Tiger snake in the longer grass behind the house. Keep your eyes open and wear long pants and boots whenever you are outside in summer.Cheers, 130man.

Gee that carpet snake must have been hungry, be an interesting morning for him, need at least two magazines and a news paper

Sorry to hear that 130man. I often worry about my Foxies 'cause they are so inquisitive. I'd be devastated.

been a big summer for them here as well

in my 33 perch yard i have seen,

largest black i have ever seen 2+m and very nasty

several browns from 1m to 2m

bloody big python 3+m

lost count of the tree snakes

really not keen to go down my back shed i have to say...

I got called out of bed on Sunday morning by the kids, out by the pool a decent sized brown and our bengal cat were nose to nose. Luckily the bengal is a quick bugger and the strikes were missing. I had to fling 2 flippers at the cat to get it out of the way..........Now if you get upset by violent acts or that a poor widdle snaky has left the earth....close your eyes now. This snake could have possibly also been the one that ended my 9mth shepherd, Diesels, life at Xmas, as they are territorial and he was in the front area where the pool is over Xmas. Well lets just say dental pictures wouldnt have recognised what it used to be.

I am surprised at how many snakes other people have seen, we are on acreage backing onto bush and that is the first one seen here. I was on 8 acres before for 2 yrs, only saw one brown ( no longer with us) and a couple of green tree snakes up by the pool ( should still be there ), thats it,
