You wouldn't want to have been with me a couple of days ago at the property in South Gippsland. I was walking up a track from the barn to the house and almost trod on a Red Belly Black snake. It actually reared up and I jumped back and watched quietly while it moved into some covering grass immediately behind it. Then I was able to move past but it did give me a bit of a start! That's the second major snake encounter I've had this season and I think I've had my share.
One of our neighbours has been doing some contract blackberry spraying in our lower gullies and has come across some very large tiger snakes on the narrow tracks he cuts into the 15 foot high blackberries. He usually gives them a spray with the blackberry poison and they head away from him, but it's not the sort of confined space I'd like to encounter one!
