It was in an awkwars place to get at so I pinned it down with a long handle shovel while Greg pounded it with a garden spade.
As both Howard & I say - they dont make shovels with handles long enough.

Look at the bloody thing! Its the size of an Olive Python. They'll kill a fully grown horse in half an hour.

Ive run into 4 of them this summer, all big & fast moving. I moved in the opposite direction very cautiously.

The Eastern brown snake..........My secret shame is I'm scared stiff of em.
