facthunter Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 You would really need the "Pee & see" association with you there. Nev
Riley Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Condolences Farri. I wasn't aware that my ex wife had moved to FNQ.
fly_tornado Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 One snake is ok, it's when there are more than 2 I start to get worried
SDQDI Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 One snake is ok, it's when there are more than 2 I start to get worried On the contrary I don't like a single snake, I'm much more comfortable once they become two:whistling: (Disclaimer, I'm not condoning the killing of snakes and this post should only be taken in a humorous nature:wink: The wink emoticon is in no way meant to detract from the seriousness of this disclaimer:wink:) Although i am not too worried about pythons, trouble is we don't get them here only the eastern brown:thumb down:

Robbo Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I got the Copperhead, Tiger and Brown snakes around here. I just catch them by the tail and drop them down the road. I just hate it when I don't see them first and nearly step on them then I shit myself.
Kiwi303 Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Only snakes around here are the one-eyed trouser snake.

bexrbetter Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Love 'em, my kids grew up with lizards, frogs and snakes as pets. Our bearded dragon lived freely roaming our loungeroom every night for 10 years or so, would sit on your lap dead still enjoying the heat until he spotted one of the kids with his mealy worms and would go crazy. One time one of our snakes got out of his enclosure, turned up 3 months later coming out of the hall closet, he was hungry.
Guernsey Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 The only wildlife I get in my yard is my wife when she sees me pull out a weed which isn't one. All plants look the same to me. Alan.
Birdseye Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 I took these photos, on the lawn, just outside our house at 8.30 last night. Just a little python, will keep the rats down. You could give him a nickname, 'Monty' springs to mind.

Bruce Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 There were 3 Willie Wagtails in this tiny nest. They flew off just after his photo, I was amazed how well they could fly on their first attempt.
flyerme Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 We breed brown snakes. Not intentionally either..... Have had up to 5 foot inside house. 4-5ft king brown in hangar yesterday :). I don't mind them as they are extremely non aggressive. They bail very quick... But the bird eating spiders!!!! That's another storey. Then there's the scorpions!, lol Here's just a few bird eaters and scorpions caught inside[ATTACH]47786._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]47785._xfImport[/ATTACH]

Robbo Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 I would need new underpants if I saw this http://web.archive.org/web/20120330124046/http://www.bushveld.co.za/pictures-python.htm

dutchroll Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Got attacked by a young-ish eastern brown when opening my garage PA door after 3 weeks holiday a couple of years ago. He had 3 attempts at me and missed each time as I performed ever larger leaps backwards and up a small set of garden steps (it was a difficult area to manoeuvre in). I surprised myself considerably at my gymnastic abilities while under duress. He then figured he'd opened up the escape route I had inadvertently blocked and slithered away into the bushland up the hill. We have plenty of red-bellied blacks in the area too, though with horses in the surrounding paddocks and resident outdoor dogs, the snakes tend to stay mostly away from the vicinity of the house.
Kamloops Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 My yard is more like a zoo some days. Rattlesnakes are the most plentiful. But plenty of deer, rabbits, cougars, squirrels, black bears, fox, coyotes, and so many species of birds.
pmccarthy Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 [ATTACH]47787._xfImport[/ATTACH] We have some large, cheeky birds.
dutchroll Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Rattlesnakes are the most plentiful. Rattlers? Pffft! A "wanna-be" snake! [ATTACH]47788._xfImport[/ATTACH]
Kamloops Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Yup ☺ Sadly lost my old german shepherd to a rattler though. Hope my new dog doesn't mess with them.
