As the warmer months and summer will soon be upon us,,, I thought I'd load this pic of a nice King Brown.

My son managed to take this where he was working at the time.

Sorry to those that get the shivers,,,,

Last summer i came across a tuger that would have been getting close to 2m.

Thats why i carry a first aid kit and foot long kukri

Your weather is backwards?

Through the warmer months here in northern Victoria I keep a shovel on my back veranda, one at my chook shed and another at my workshop door.

Ah... One of the true psychopaths of the snake world. Wholly unpersonable critters!!!

[on_one_wheel]

Snakes are rad!

That's what I recon too, I get the odd one around the house , but not so much anymore since I stopped keeping chooks

I just let them be.

Have captured and movedmoved 3 tigers. Was deer hunting yrs ago and saw about 20 tigers in about 20 mtrs while walking a gully. Man I s**t myself that day. And about 5k from camp and 1 hr drive to hospital. But we need them to eat the mice etc.

Man! That would freak me too, OB. Had a few close calls out fishing on my own. Somewhat of a snake magnet, some say.

We have quite a few snakes getting about here. One lives in or hangs out regularly by a culvert about 60m from the house. I'm quite happy to leave them be unless they decide to live too close to the house, like establishing a morning sunning spot just out the back door. Then it's bye bye Joe Blake.

I had one rock up at work just out side the lunch room a few yrs ago. All the woman were in a bit of a tis so I had to catch him and take him down the back padock. He was a small one.

No way i'm picking a venomous snake up for love or money!

[Oldbloke]

"Man! That would freak me too, OB" had me worried especially when a couple have a shot at you.

We have skinks around our houses. They help keep the snakes at a distance

Yep, time to break out the Mankini, picture from last summer

I would beg to differ on that.
As a young boy, I was helping my father clean out an old (dirt floor) shed before concreting it.

There was an old radiata pine plank that had been there for ,,,, and when he turned it over with the spade, there was half a dozen skinks and a three foot tiger snake under it.
Shared accommodation I think the terminology would be.

[sandgroperbill]

Unusual. We have a few skinks, some decent sized ones and very rarely have snakes around. They also keep the food source down.

Yeh mate, it's a southern hemisphere thing. When you blokes are freezing we're running around in shorts. Unless you live in Victoria of course
