This one was spotted by my kids today on our veranda, we think it's just a tree snake and not dangerous.....the woman over the road reckons she had a 12 foot python in her garden!

Re: Snakes in the grass...
 

Took my 'Dangerous Animals of Australia' book with me on our reccie so I'd know what we got bit by :rofl:........................ didn't see one snake except at Australia Zoo.

However back in the UK last week walking the dogs found a 2 1/2 - 3' dead grass snake which was massive!!! :eek:

Re: Snakes in the grass...
 

Saw this little fellow in the garden the other day. Didn't know what type it was but after looking in the 'Wildlife of Greater Brisbane' book it looks like it is a Keelback (freshwater) snake. It is non venomous thank goodness, as the cat was trying to play with it later on.

Re: Snakes in the grass...
 

Pine rivers good spot for snakes all that water around plus lots of acreage and bush/nice big forests for them to regroup in.

Best to put your googles on and look at the wood rather than touch and avoid wood piles and long grass...:eek:

Re: Snakes in the grass...
 

Good shot what ever he is.

He definitely has a green glow so tree snake could be right.

Don't forget if you ever do get bit leave the venom on don't wipe it off, as that's what they use to find out what sort of snake you were bit by. Hospitals have special kits that test it.

Re: Snakes in the grass...
 

my cat loves bringing home snakes for us to see, she brought us home a lovely very angry taipan last year and this year she brought us home 2 brown snakes...we lived right by the river at the time.
Now live in a more populated area so hoping that we don't get so many....:ohmy:

Re: Snakes in the grass...
 

Hello, how you doing?

So do you prefer population to river?

She must be down quite a few lives by now.

Re: Snakes in the grass...
 

we are hoping to move onto a bush block and that's what worries me - the cats bringing home little presents like that... :huh:

It's a true competition of skill and speed that only one will win.

Re: Snakes in the grass...
 

There I was yesterday, gurnying the back of the house, n along wanders a 6ft brown snake..

Bless, as i reached for my broom.. he did too !

Needless to say, thank god for quilted dunny paper !!

Re: Snakes in the grass...
 

The first snake my cat brought me home wasn't too impressed with being dumped at our doorstep...got so upset that its head fell off:D(with a little help!)
It wasn't til afterwards that I realised that I had been in contact with a taipan...apparantly all the colour drained from me.
Gotta love the cat though, she must have used about 4 lives in the last 2yrs!:ohmy:

Re: Snakes in the grass...
 

Could you not have aimed the pressure washer at him would have thought that would have either got rid of him or p!ssed him off?

Where's the photo then, Deb not take one?
