I would rather have possums than some of the other critters sliding about in the dark. I recall being at an fairly remote astro camp not far north of here several years ago with a young bloke who was a snake-collector. He calmly announced to us that he had seen several reptiles sliding across our visual-only paddock while we were there. He seemed a bit surprised that we were didn't share his pleasure at this observation.

Here on the farm we see a fair number of bandicoots around the place and plenty of harmless carpet snakes and the like. I'm used to them now. But that was not always so.
