Thread: Spring=snakes

Not yet.
Then we havn't seen one in 5 years but every year the neighbours have issues with dogs or chickens being the victims of snakes.

I was at the local shops near where I work today and there was a snake on the footpath. It was not very happy when someone tried to coax it into the garden. I guess I will have to keep a lookout everywhere now. I thought I would be safe at the shops! Guess not.

I hate snakes with a passion!

We see lizards first, the snakes usually follow around 2-3 weeks later.
The lizards came out last weekend, the snakes wont be far away.
We get red belly's here, some times finding them in the house, oh what fun summer can be.

at least the blacks keep the other more poisonous snake numbers down.

yep the weather is warming up nicely
seeing your only 2 hrs down the road
in the past week have seen one whip snake by the shed, another
one on the road,
a nice long black snake slithering off the road halfway between alstonville and here ( thats great considering the numbers of cane toads around here)
and my son nearly stepped on a tree snake on the road outside the house this afternoon.
plus saw a nice big water dragon down by the dam today. sunning itself.

haven't seen any carpet snakes yet, there is a huge boa constrictor sized one next door, usually see it crossing the road.
can;t work out why so many people have phobias about them. City folk maybe??

Yea the red belly are supposed to be the ones around here.
You don't often see our lizard. Our deck is the home to a blue tonge
