macca Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Putting out fox baits today - had just rebaited a station (sand pile on left of pic 1) when I noticed my little friend to the right. Better shot of him pic 2. Red bellied black snake about 4 foot long - and its not even summer yet. I was treading real careful for the rest of the day.

macca Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 the snake is a native of OZ Yep - far side of the world - south coast of NSW. You dont expect snakes out mid winter although Ive got to admit it was about 70F yesterday Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not usually fatal but will make you awefully sick. Western Taipan on the other hand- well I wouldnt be hangng around Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
