Good dog you have there Kim!!.

Last week my daughter's little Jack Russel X took on a Tiger Snake and RedBelly Black Snake (both snakes dead),By the time they got to her she was in respiratory failure,..End of story..




Cheers

So I guess the only thing that didn't fare well was the pot plant. lol.

Kim,

These unusual conditions see snakes in otherwise unknown locations. We saw one recently in our factory complex and someone (not me) killed it.

You know where our factory is and one would never expect to see a snake there. It is in an industrial district. These buggers are seeking a feed and a drink in strange places.

Cheers,

Jim from Best Off Road.

Gday Kim,
Keep the 410 close!

LOL

Just stay clear of the Lunatic Soup whilst snakes are around,

Kim,
were it me & my precious dog I would be looking at lodging it somewhere until you know where that Brown is and that the dog is safe, just for it's own good as well as your peace of mind.
Cheers, Colin.

During 'snake season' if there is 'justification' to kill a snake, back end of long handle rake is ideal. If you've got guts enough, a length of fencing wire also does the job. Works like a stock whip. Remember most bites occur when people try and catch or kill the snake. For some reason they (snakles) 'feel threatened'.

I'm going in to bat for the snake here.

Living as I do right in amongst the bush, snakes are a reasonably common site for me (red bellies & pythons mainly). In the 15 years that I lived here I've never encountered a problem with a snake by following the simple rule of just leaving them be.

I see them & they see me and that's where our association ends. I wish them no harm what so ever.

However not too long ago my Mum who lives in town had a snake stuck in her swimming pool's cleaner box. It was a black & white striped fella & needed a helping hand to get his tail freed.

A phone call to our local reptile handler saw the snake ID'd as a Bandy Bandy, taken away and I'm told released several days later when it had recovered.

I reckon it would be a pretty good idea for everyone to jot down the name of their local reptile handler. These guys and gals are the experts.

As someone mentioned the biggest single cause of snake bite is when people go on the offensive and attack the snake. Leave them alone and jump on the phone.

Living in Broken Hill, where it is very dry at present, snakes are coming in for water.

I was told years ago by an old bush feller that if you make certain that the taps are fully turned off, dog's water is placed off the ground, and anything that may attract mice, eg. open chook/dog food bags left laying around and not in covered rodent proof containers, yer gonna get jo-blakes.

I have lived here for nine years, in three different houses, and I have followed this advice. I have never seen one snake in any of my yards.

It's unusual for a snake to be seen moving during daylight hours, they are a nocturnal creature. Probably the reason why we don't see too many of them.

I'm not keen on snakes, but I leave them alone. Best thing, if seen is to get a snake catcher, though the bloke here, charges a fee now.

So now you have an injured snake close to your house ???
