Just reading this and thought I’d share. I don’t have to deal with this on the mooring, but I know many forum members keep their Investigator under a nice tarp in the backyard. Anyway worth noting it may have picked up new residents over the winter as it’s nice and warm underneath.
Marvin the paranoid android says “be careful”.
This is an eastern brown!!!!
It is expected to be a very hot summer and snakes are already in tourist mode.
Yonks back we had a near two metre python take up a sunbathing stance of our caravan roof. I would have left him alone but he was big enough to take out Grizzlegutz our dog. So a two hour struggle with the soft end of a flat house broom (taped to the end of a two metre pool pole) ensued as I tried to gently steer him into the bush 100 m away. He didn’t come back, but we don’t leave the dog, who’s only 7kg outside on his own in summer anymore. The dog was here first.
Snakes are important to the environment……especially in someone else’s environment.
