If you have read previous posts you would know I agree with you but this bugger was between me and the gun safe so my choices were limited.

Default An oldie but a goodie

Appropriate for this thread - Bathurst Newspaper front page headline reads;

'ORANGE WOMAN BITTEN BY BROWN SNAKE'


For our overseas lads - Orange is a town near Bathurst

Looks like you need to break out some more 8 gauge wire in your town Bob
Must have been one of the ones you let out of the bottle

Default tis the season

The local copper who is also the snake catcher is flat out with 2-3 a day, with 800 new homes being built in former rural farm land and low dam levels we are moving into their domain. Last week one was found in the main street, (outside Blowes Real Estate office ).

Smart snake must have been looking in to a bit of real estate for a resettlement plan
I would say the salesman wasnt very keen on the new customer though thinking he looked like a bit of a slippery operator

Tis the season again
Snakes are out and about in large numbers
Touch wood not in my yard but have been in 2 out of 4 of my neighbours
Was a very good season for them last year with all the mice around
They are very healthy and large for this time of the year
Just spent the last hour trying to coax a 2 metre brown out from under about 5 tons of brick rubble............... unfortunately didnt work and gave up after the light faded
Hopefully the blue cattle dog marks on his backside might have done enough damage to make it deceased
