Re: Snake season is here!
Spent the weekend in Alldays, did a lot of walking and driving. Only saw one grass snake. :) And no signs of anything bigger.

Re: Snake season is here!
A lightning strike earlier this week took out my gate motor control. When I took off the cover, there was the most beautiful green coloured snake coiled up on the circuit board. At just over 300mm long it really was an exquisite specimen.

Re: Snake season is here!
Yip I agree the Mozzie season is heating up! This is the second report of a small child bitten in bed. Drought and heat are sending them into homes. We had our 1st cobra on Sunday since moving to the plot. I tried to keep the dogs away - Rotties are not good with snakes. But the J-R sneaked past me and within seconds killed the 40cm juvenile. Without an injury to the JR. Snake bitten on the head. Those dogs are amazing.
My cousin in Worcester lost 2 Dobermans to Cape Cobras in early January.

1,2 m Moz Spit Cobra and 1,8 m Egyptian Cobra this week at my house. Luckily still outside. Distinct bark from dogs alerted me. So, yes, they are out of their holes currently.

Re: Snake season is here!
It is the dead of winter here in Texas; We had ice and snow last week. However, 100km to the west of us a 6 year old little girl playing outside got bit by 2 meter long Western Diamondback Rattle snake. It was about 15c that day; I was surprised it came out of hibernation. Got her on the ankle. It took 16 vials to counteract the poison. She is still in the hospital but doing good.
I have never seen a Rattle snake; any of the 5 species, Copperhead or Water moccasin out in the winter.
