More about snakes

Moriarty said:

In Victoria, nearly all snakes longer than about 40cm, south of the Great
Dividing Range, are likely to be toxic to humans.

If you do see a snake near your house, keep an eye on it to see where it
goes, then call a licensed snake catcher, if necessary. The DSE Customer
Service Centre on 136 186 can supply the names of the nearest licensed snake
catchers.

Or just leave the bloody thing alone.

Incidently my experience is that snakes aint toxic. But they dont taste
like chicken either. They taste... like snake 😉

depends on how you cook em (never cooked one tho)

I was driving along with my uncle years back and he swerved to avoid one in the middle of the road. We looked back in the rear mirror but couldnt see the fella slink off.
Got back to the farm and i went to walk inside. Uncle was busy going round the wheel housings with a stick. I walked over jsut in time to almost walk into the huge feckin brownie he pulled out on the stick which had kicked up into the undercarriage somewhere. 'apparently' this aint an irregualr thing.

Good thing my bike dont have undercarriage 🙄

Your bike don't have an undercarriage but you do!
I shall be poking under my saddle with a long stick after I next ride along the yarra trail.

(Now what's that funnly looking bike lock wrapped around my seatpost.....)

I was surprised to hear on the news last night that snake catchers have
to release the snake within 5kms of where they are found. Sounds to me
like all you're doing is pi$$ing off the snake with a long commute home.

It also mentioend Ivanhoe as one of Melbourne's snake hotpsots. I hate
that snake infested bike track section. 🙁

Yeah it happened to my dad once. In the 60Å›

Out near millewa. He looked around after fishing it out, (and killing
it.. no conservationisat my dad_) to see the itallian tobacco farmers in
the next paddock climing the windbreak gum trees.

Cooked is best. If you can afford smoke.

My Dad always reckoned you should lock up the brakes as you went over
them to break their backs and avoid the jumping. Although I suspect
locking up the brakes at speed may be more dangerous to you than the snake.

I wonder how the snakes feel about the pervailance of humans bumping off their relivitves during the summer for no apprant reason except for that they’re maybe scared or surprised.

Snakebite is not lethal in a majority of cases, although it can cause dicomfort & some degree of paraysis.

It’s good to leave them alone, they’re like koalas & Barry Humphries.

As opposed to Goat, which causes comfort & some degree of paralysis.

It's best to do nothing. A freind of mine swerved to avoid a snake and
rolled the car. He was killed and the other three occupants of the car
were badly injured.
