If you think they are pussycats, how come you have it on the end of a bloody great stick!

Had a Tiger Snake in the garden last week as well...which was nice.


Saw one of these slinking off into the leaves and other detritus at Mount Frankland (WA).  Didn't go chasing it and was quite pleased to get onto the granite slabs where I could at least see the fuckers.

Adam, you didn't have to move the snake though did you?  A wide berth would have worked just as well, and the guy in the hat is brave since the snake is clearly longer than his arm.

It was in the middle of a busy road.

:lol:
Actually, isn't the one in the top picture dead?
The one here was trapped under our woodpile by our two cats and I wasn't going in after it. We have a wildlife research centre and sanctuary just a kilometre from us here and one of the rangers lives across the road which is rather handy.
Anyway, it's the Brown Snake 2 feet from the finishing hold on that slab today that means I'm calling it quits until the weather cools in March or APril!

I believe this is how the locals deal with such problems...



Could have got yourself a nice new belt out of it too :whistle:

Obviously I'm pretty interested by any answer there might be  ::) . It's not Gibsonitus is it? Can't find any more information online.
