Snakes

[Mr Crudley]

Seems to be loads of them on the move at Wylde lately. Every day or two and another one pops up on FB.
Here is today's reptile shot from FB and isn't looking too pleased.

The motorway extension is happening next door at the Wylde V1 so the serpent families have been sent packing to move next door I guess.

Spotted another Copperhead today, this time at Lysterfield, along the bottom of the dam. Similar size to yesterday's one, or maybe a touch bigger. Fair bit darker, bit still a distinct copper tinge to it. Quite a docile little thing.

Still deadly even when first born. Couldn’t they have just had arms instead?

Had a big jump yesterday, when I stood on a big mumma, in the long grass. First one I've actually seen on my place this year. But stoked with how many big arse stumpy's I've been coming across.

Stood on one! How’d it react?

Much less than I. Just slithered calmly away, through the grass, and under an olive tree.

Wow, never seen that before, a Carpet Python tries to deglove his wrist.

Spoiler: Adult version of the wrist bite

Lucky escape for this tourist.

Saw two fang marks': British tourist bitten by venomous snake on Fraser Island

"l stepped on this darkish thing quite deep in the grass, felt like a stabbing pain, looked down at my ankle and saw blood," he said.
"When we got back to the truck and had a look at my ankle, I saw the two fang marks, then the sudden realisation of long grass, plus summer equals snakes hit." In shock, Ben said he showed the bite mark to his fiancée.

"The helicopter landed and they rushed me into emergency services, the snake bite procedure requires 12 hours of blood monitoring," he explained.
"They took bloods and hooked me up to all the monitoring machines.
"Both fangs had hit the ankle bone perfectly so it didn't inject venom, lucky escape".

My wife came almost face to face with a small brown inside our house on a cupboard.
She heard its tongue rattling, she thinks it was there for a while and she thought it was a skink..
By the time we moved everything it had disappeared.
It was probably after rat meat.
Oh yeah she screamed loudly.

Oh man, that's conflicted

"Hi snake, we appreciate everything you're doing around here but we just think you don't have the right temperament to live with us"

We should be able to mail order red bellied blacks. They would clear out the rats and the browns and be pretty chill. Would be like a native useful cat.

That would be a Quoll.

I reckon I've got a better chance of getting my hands on a red bellied black.

“When you buy a $3 million home in Coogee but no one told you about the rat problem,” he wrote. “Why didn’t anyone warn me?”

Like living in a Surrey Hills terrace and being surprised about cockroaches. Moron.

They should introduce some Rakali. They f***ing hate rats and a comprehensive study (which of course now I can't find) demonstrated they did well at keeping rat populations down around areas of Sydney Harbour.

Well if I could tell the difference, I would love to have some near my place.
