Dog about crapped her self and the bullet found its mark about an inch under his bottom jaw.

Decent sized snake about four and a half foot ( that's like a meter and a quarter I think).

Anyway was told I should post more turtles and snakes and stuff so there ya go .

Try living with these on a daily basis, Eastern Brown Snakes, Worlds second deadliest land snake but not by much. Lost my best terriers to these.

Holy moley.  That's awful. Is there a way to control them.  does anyone go out and actively hunt the blighters down and eliminate them. ?

No, they are protected native wildlife. You can kill them if they are a danger to people or pets on your property. I used to live on a farm near a creek and you would see them in the yard on a daily basis in Summer. The little Russell bitch in the pic died after a second bite a couple of weeks later. I got her to the vet after she killed these 2 cost close to $3000 but survived only to be bitten by another. My parson Russell below has killed over 30, not as game as the bitch but more careful and probably why he's still here.

Having them on your home would scare the sh*t out of me. In the UK to find snakes you have to know where to look, and even then it can be rare. I went out to see one in the wild and without knowing the local spots, it took me over 6 months twice a week in likely habitat terrain before I found a spot were they live and found one. That's how rare they are. To have them in your garden or on your farm, must  be terrifying. Worse still when you know they might be in your house or garage.

When I was like five I remember I was playing on the slide in my grandma's yard. Kept hearing a rattling sound and looked under the slide where my  feet where hitting the ground and there was a 3ft ground rattler . Safe to say my grandma wasn't very happy

My daughter was on the loo and had a young brown snake slither over her feet, she was lucky as the little ones give all their venom and are just as deadly.

Well there you go. There's the green light. Kill them all. !!!!  Take no prisioners......

Or destroy their breeding ground, their food, set traps. Its like ammunition reloading. It can become a specialist hobby that can be fun.  Anyway we won't tell anyone.

I know a lady vet who has a property where I lived, she has around 50 desexed female rescue cats and a few toms on her farm as she has kids. She reckons the cats have cleaned up most if not all of the snakes. The tom cats strong piss also acts as a deterrent.

[BenBhoy 4,706]

Cats??? Fuckinģ horrible things, I'd rather take my chances with the snakes! 

[FOXHUNTER 5,021]

Dont like snakes either. I remember once roe stalking in Northumberland, I was crawling through the grass when suddenly I was confronted with an adder , face to face. I didnt know how quick to retreat

Bloody cats,  beyond the pale.  Shoot the cats first and then the snakes.  Oh dont forget to eliminate all those bloody spiders and johovas witnesses.  Well you could set the dog on them . Christ Australia is a bloody dangerous place.  It's a wonder children get past infancy. Train a dog to bark like buggery at them.  Then go over and shoot them.!  All---ll of them, take no prisioners. Not the children, well some of them. The little bastads.
