If I ever want to be sure snakes arent around in the bush somewhere I just makes lots of noise - jump up and down ect. it must be quite a sight to see!!! let them know you are there - they dont want to waste venom on us i would suspect? hope? |
Misread your 1st post, Ive come across them in the Dublin,Lower Light area ,north of Adelaide, they are a seriously nasty looking snake with a mean disposition when disturbed. I'd rank them 1 place below the tiger snake in the snakes I've come across.
