If you live in the bush knee high gumboots are a good thing for kids, along
with the education. The local bird life will tell when a snake is about too,
Well at least up here on the north coast. We get a varity in our yard,
mostly reb belly blacks, but also the odd king brown, eastern brown which
are quickly liquidated (three strands of #8 fencing wire twisted together).
Like others here I care about my kids, until they are old enough to know
better. But on the whole being a kiwi I used to be **** scared of them
but now I dont mind any of them personally. We have bigass bad snakes,
bigass (lizards up to 2m) and others that look straight out of Jurassic Park.
Love it would have it any other way.
The only time I get paranoid these days if I'm out at the scope and start
to think about them, and I'm still wearing thongs lol
