If you hit it with the shovel like I told you, you can then take it and show your mates someone is bound to know

Protected my a**e, If it slithers or has 8 legs hit it with a shovel I think that covers all the nasty lthings down there. Whats Oz like for importing animals we have been thinking of getting a mongoose for the kids instead of a dog, it wont fetch a stick but it will kill any fekking snake.
