Hi Baz,

Did you read the story back in 2007 when John Bambury, Andrew Murrell and I took
the trip over to Texas?

On the drive down through the arid regions south of El Paso en route to the Texas
Star Party, John said to me, "I hope we don't run into any rattlesnakes while we are here".
Anyway John picks up the story in these two threads -

The red bellies are beautiful to watch and they sure love the water and are generally shy.
We are literally next to the Kuring-Gai Chase National Park so we will
spot one now and then in the garden. They love to hunt for frogs in the pond.
The local paper reported that it was a good year for them and quite a few got
into local homes over the summer.

Best regards

Gary
