So apparently snake season is upon us.
Walking the pooch yesterday around our area (with wifey) and a worker from a nearby subdivision that's been cleared ready for building goes "oi mate do you live around here".
I'm like "Yep we do".
He's like "just letting you know I saw 2 large Eastern Browns sunning themselves on the road right there earlier today".
We thanked him and them I'm like "fuck I hate snakes" to my wife.
They just scare the shit out of me, and I reckon I'd totally freeze in fear if I spotted one.
Going to have to be extra vigilant now around the area, but was doing some reading and apparently Sydney is set for large Red Bellied Black Snake and Eastern Brown numbers this year..
FAN-TASTIC!
That said apparently RBBS and EB snakes are actually shy and prefer to retreat than attack (given limited venom). Luckily too our dog wouldn't be interested in attacking them, she just loves sniffing things and hanging close to humans.
Still tis a concern.
