GTS stories
I had one of these set up residence in the engine bay of my ute: driving along one day and the thing popped up in front of me like a hood ornament and proceeded to enjoy the drive. I drove to the nearest tree'lined spot and suggested he transfer residence. Didn't. So it ended up coming home with me. I have a snake-catching stick ( a broomstick with an eye hook in both ends and a piece of smooth light cord/string looped through one and tied to the other so I just stand back, make a small look, place that in front of the snake and let it put it's head through; then just tighten the cord. Snake will wrap itself around the stick so you can put it in a sack. Then, with snake securely in the sack, slack off the noose, tie the sack, drive a couple of km away; untie the neck of the sack and just toss the whole shebank into some nearby grass. The snake will quickly release itself and crawl away. You recover your stick and bag and go home and wait for the next.
This works fine with non-venomous like the GTS and carpet snakes. I wouldn't try it with a nasty.
