Afraid of snakes ???

They only dine on frogs and lizards, cats can kill them, and do I've heard. The poor Black looks more dangerous than it actually is. It's not one I'd want to see killed unless it was under the bed or something.

Anyway it's not the snakes we worry about, it's the horses.
 

We used to see many snakes at our old place at Strathpine; this one is going up on the roof:

Spot the snake skin here:

They would wedge themselves in a fork and slither out. This was just outside our kitchen window.

I know it's those darned frightening horses, as they always have been a world wide terror! (I don't want to make Di feel bad....I know horses headed the list she read, and that is who I'm questioning, those who put that list together!)

And if I looked outside my kitchen a viewed that thing, I would never draw a peaceful breath..knowing moving doesn't resolve the problem in Australia.
 
Saw in the news that a man was bitten, twice, by a red-belly black after he had chopped it in half, near a Newcastle cemetery in NSW. Apparently they retain their strike reflex for about an hour.
 
They sure do i was watching a video of a snake that had been killed and put on a table, a girl went near it and put her hand close and he bit, i have watched them after killing them hanging on a fence and they twirl around and round for ages, they say they stop at sundown.
 
I have never had any fear of snakes, insects, or spiders. I was shipped off to the middle east where everything but the hedgehogs would bite and kill you, so I did develop a small phobia toward spiders and snakes. The camel spiders freaked me out with their huge fangs and gaping mouths. The snakes over there hide in the sand waiting for a meal to come along, and the fact that they are vipers they aren't the snake you would want to encounter. I am always cautious about devices such as this. It can often lead to a waste of money because most devices like this simply do not work. In addition, where I live there are snakes you want to have around because they fight and kill the venomous snakes.
 
I hate snakes - and yes, afraid of 'em. Had more brushes with them in 2013 than ever before. At least rattlesnakes give a warning.
