[QUOTE="Deepseeker, post: 626795, member: 13321"] I pulled one out from under the ride-on mower in the GT a few weeks back when I went up to mow our weekender not far from Kingower. I tangled the blades near a fence that had been patched with chook wire. Without thinking I broke the golden rule and stuck my hand where I couldn't see it underneath. I pulled hard on the wire, and as it unwound a snake came flying out with it! It was only about 20cm or so long but it came out thrashing and scared the bejesus out of me. From what I could tell as it took off into the thick grass along the fence line, it was either a juvenile brown or a Mitchell's Short-tailed snake. One potentially deadly, the other relatively harmless. I was wearing leather gloves but it was still a timely reminder to never stick your hands where you can't see them! I also always where my Double D gaitors when I'm mowing up there. [/QUOTE]
