And what the frick does potentially dangerous mean? We've got, to my knowledge, two - the timber rattler and the copperhead. Both rarely fatal.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-27519766194185212022009-11-30T21:21:09.978+10:002009-11-30T21:21:09.978+10:00eeekkk & shudder.

Down here we don't get as many kinds, but most of them are highly venomous. Fortunately they are usually rather shy.<br /><br />I'm not sure about Eddie being protective. Suicidal is what comes to mind first.<br /><br />Hope the snakes find another playground from now on.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275854881032789432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-28989883446679965452009-11-29T21:47:04.937+10:002009-11-29T21:47:04.937+10:00Oh - bugger that!Oh - bugger that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-87243592289520518182009-11-28T17:07:58.467+10:002009-11-28T17:07:58.467+10:00Trace - be assured the potentially more poisonous ...Trace - be assured the potentially more poisonous one he wrangled in his workboots...<br /><br />Debby - you are the reason I gave plenty of warning about the link.<br /><br />BB - ah, but gardening is far preferable to what he is setting forth to do tomorrow - whippersnapping and mowing - I think a little genteel weeding won't affect me too badly (but I shan't weed THAT bed)<br /><br />MamaZen - my thoughts indeed.<br /><br />Jayne - we had our share growing up - brown, black and carpet pythons generally - although that garden hose variety were always worth a freak out!<br /><br />Melody - at least ours were polite enough generally to not infringe too much of enjoying Summer.jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322709527738134797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-55062210997124474202009-11-28T16:41:23.508+10:002009-11-28T16:41:23.508+10:00I second Jayne's comment!

Growing up in bushland in country Vic, it used to be a common sight to see Copperheads, Red-Bellies and Tiger snakes. *shudder* <br /><br />I only enjoyed the summer months once I moved to the big smoke.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681227038111050561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-3274804946105064622009-11-28T07:06:45.583+10:002009-11-28T07:06:45.583+10:00We used to get red-bellied black snakes, tiger sna...We used to get red-bellied black snakes, tiger snakes and browns hanging around when I lived up Bendigo way.<br />*shudder* The adage up there is the only good snake is a dead one ;)<br />Please be careful!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851305238478213940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-45424206068349261542009-11-28T00:20:48.139+10:002009-11-28T00:20:48.139+10:00Yikes!Yikes!Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-63895778377540603842009-11-27T23:49:21.509+10:002009-11-27T23:49:21.509+10:00All that scarpering ()from pregnant ladies) and sc...All that scarpering ()from pregnant ladies) and scampering (by snakes) has quite exhausted me. What a tale. <br /><br />Eddie is being a Protector. I am imagining Axel trying to do the same thing... highly unlikely. Probably jump into my arms and squash me.<br /><br />For the record, I think all gardening should cease at 7 months of pregnancy (if not sooner). Surely V can garden with a fork in one hand and tongs in the other?<br />:-)<br />BBBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985371070644061676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-56199404668927197692009-11-27T23:12:15.516+10:002009-11-27T23:12:15.516+10:00I visited my friend, and walking to her door, I sa...I visited my friend, and walking to her door, I saw a snake. And then another. And then another. And then another. I was transfixed, just staring, and she walked out to see what I was staring at. She walked into the grass before she knew what was going on. In sandals. She screamed. I screamed, and leaped back so abruptly it is a wonder I did not take the side mirror right off their car. <br /><br />Oh.
