If that had happened to me, this post would be totally different. It would be the SNAKE posting on HIS site about how he made the home owner run as fast as hell....I'm sure the snake would have even posted pictures of me running and doing my best impression of any Olympic sprinter!

...nope, don't like snakes!

Hmmm...snake looks traumatized.

What? Na, just awake about a month early. At a guess wherever it was sleeping got flooded this arvo in some unseasonal rain.
Now, if he'd been a brown or taipan he'd be traumatised allright!

How in the world do you tell if a snake is traumatized? lol

 

[trailboss99]

In the case of a brown or a taipan it's traumatised after the shot hits it

LOL

Is that a carpet python? Cool snake none the less. Glad to here you are not one of those people who think every snake should be dead.

I've been seeing patients just released from prison all day; not scared at all. Seeing the snake in your picture scares the hell out of me.

I have a stead-fast policy of killl first, identify second. I'm afraid your little friend would have been politely introduced to Mr. Shovel.

I'm afraid I'm with the cowards on this one. I'm usually the one of the staff who tries to believe in the best in new members before I ban them, but yeah, Mr. Snake would not have lasted long around here.

Great test for Philly's new sniper rifle.

RESPECT....

for your courage !

And a gold star to CBN in snake ID. Yes it's a small Carpet Python. About five foot this one but thsy grow to well over 12 feet.

The only snakes that end up dead here are large Browns and any Taipan around the house. Can't take chances with ones that can kill you before you get to hepl.
The other ones we get are redbelly blacks, they won't kill you (well, very unlikely) but damn they hurt! They grow up to eight feet or a bit more. That's a big venomous snake! Saw one crossing the road a few days ago near that big. You don't kill them either unless you have kids or small dogs because they keep the Browns away.

He now has a new home in the feed shed where it's nice and warm with mice aplenty to catch. Snakes are great to keep the bloody rodents under control.

I would run or do this as well :

I have a stead-fast policy of killl first, identify second. I'm afraid your little friend would have been politely introduced to Mr. Shovel.

But i would probably take the first option

You know, I won't even mention how many times I re-read "winter" and checked the posting date before I realized you were in Australia!! :lol: :lol:

its good not to kill....ANYTHING !

It certainly IS good to kill many things. Especially if they can kill you first. Like deer and turkey and wild hogs and... well, you get my drift. It's all Darwinism out there, Baby!! :wink:

It ain't just the scenery that's upside down!

Good job mate! I bet he is happy to be in the feed shed. But make that CRK not CBN please

Cant blame you about the "large Browns and any Taipan". Here in North Carolina, USA we have copper heads a pleanty around my house. They get a shovel to the head quick! I have a dog and two children I will not take chances with a poisonous snake. The black rat snakes and what we call King snakes are a welcome though both will eat poisonous snakes.


Dont you guys have a king snake that is poi....... make that a King Brown, and yea it is.....aint google great?
