I've heard that young snakes aren't as wise as older ones and hence have a go at anything, so they can be more dangerous. Not sure of they have more poison but may bite more

A few years back we were building a wall at the boss's house and we came across a nest of baby brown snakes in the soil (prob about 5 or 6) rearing up and striking at the shovel

I saw "snake in my bed" and "blood everywhere" and was wondering what you got up to!

I reckon snakes are rad, don't like finding them in the wild though.

rodderz · 13-10-2007, 04:59 PM

Apparently John Wayne Bobbit woke one day to find a snake had gone through his bed there was blood in his bed...

Jesus Scott... I had shivers reading that first post and kept looking around me the whole time.

We've had skinks here before, outside though. But these ones had the exact head of a snake, flattish and the same diameter. But the body was like stumy, only 20cm long and they had four legs. The dogs go berko whe they are around and they chase them away off the property.

Unfortunately, we do get alot of snakes in Brisbane. Next door have had a 7 - 8 feet carpet snake in their bedroom... they leave their windows open and the snake came in and crawled over them. The old guy says that he kept dreaming that something wet was on him during the night, then woke up at 3am to take a and found the snake on the floor beside the bed. Where it is now, I dont wanna know.

And I've seen a crow in our front yard with a snake of about 40 - 50cm in it's mouth. We get crows all the time now and I even feed the crows now !!!

Also, a guy at work, lives out at Albany creek, 4 year old kid playing outside in the back yard comes in crying saying "a snake scratched" him... yep you guessed it he stepped on a snake whilst playing and it bit him. So you never know.

But let me tell you something, I'll be checking my bed from now on - cheers for that !!!

From, another 100kg snake-scared wuss.

Unfortunately for mother nature, if it has scales and doesn't swim I can do without thanks...

Legs I can live with, no legs = just plain freaky. I still recall "skinking" where me and the mates would go catching skinks, bluey's, shingle backs etc and one day picking up this bluey that turned out to be 5ft long with a red belly...... and no legs. FFS, I think I know where my phobia came from!

We used to live on a small property just out of town, over the far side of the paddock was a blackberry bush, in summer our 3 cats would go over there and get baby snakes (Red belly blacks!!!) and bring them to the front door as presents.

Don't know how many times i had to whip out the of shovel, i don't mind pet snakes, but i wasn't going to mess around with a snake like that.

Mark^^ · 13-10-2007, 07:24 PM

Red belly blacks are very gentle venomous snake and I know lots of people who have them as pets and generally handle them like a python.

Your probably right, but to an uneducated person like myself, it wasn't exactly what i wanted on my front door and after the cats had been playing with them for a while, they wern't in the best of moods

Sam_Boss260 · 13-10-2007, 08:02 PM

Thanks for the pictures of those snakes.... another sleepless night. Cheers !

Creampuff · 13-10-2007, 09:04 PM

boost1105 · 13-10-2007, 09:09 PM

I've got a photo somewhere.

xy351 · 13-10-2007, 09:26 PM

Guy's , there's "at least" 2 things I'm "Allergic to" = Pain & Snakebite

Specially when it to me ...........

uranium_death · 13-10-2007, 11:47 PM

Maybe it was just a "warning snake"

Refer to: Simpsons Variety Hour

crusher · 15-10-2007, 12:05 PM

Bugger that. Waking up to find blood everywhere would have freaked me right out.

Ive seen smaller legless lizards floating around but we generally dont have problems with snakes around here (Just outside Perth on 6 acres of bush which then backs onto bush for as far as you wanna go. Brilliant for bikes and stuff). The dogs, cat and chooks seem to keep them away.

One time when we were up camping in Moore river there was a fun incident. Bunch of little kids were running around and yelling and having a merry old time. "Come look what weve found! Its a really big worm or something!" Yeah right-o. So off me and dad trek to have a look. "RIGHT YOU LOT. BACK AWAY NOW AND BUGGER OFF" few calls of whats goin on? "Young blokes have found a dugite." This dugite would have been maybe 3.5 foot long and slithering through the grass on top of a sloping retaining wall. Chased it and guided it down the wall where it got a bloody bashing with a shovell.

Then as you do you go and scare the foreign blokes with a big snake haha. They dont need to know its dead do they?

S3SR · 15-10-2007, 07:29 PM

"crikey"

i love snakes.... over came my fear when i had to feed a taipan....then catch it - it was me or him and all i had was a pillow case and a broom (and a snake handler)

if you see a snake just call the police, theyll send someone to collect it...dont shoot ffs.... fair enough spiders theres no use for them but snakes keep rat populations down and toads

With some species thats true. With most Australian types its correct.

Now I live in town I would call the Police , but when I was a kid I pulled up so my cousin could open a gate , he felt a "wriggle" on his Jeans leg (lucky they were loose Jeans) and there was a "5ft Brown hanging there" . After that we'd open the door & jump as far as we could .

Sort of changes your attitude towards them .

GTP , glad it was you & NOT Me . The Mrs would be mad as hell digging the "Lead" out of the bed .

Norm

PS , Spiders eat flies , the Mrs has "George" in the Loungeroom , and no-one is allowed to swat him .

He lives behind a picture .

Spotted a 4 foot tigery outside my place yesterday, luckily it had "Dunlop Disease".
