[QUOTE="loamer, post: 105194, member: 981"] From yesterdays Dunolly Welcome Record (community newsletter). As always, take care in the forests - avoid moving dead-fall, old tins of metal sheeting (heaps about), take care at the dams. SPRING SIGNALS SNAKE SEASON The arrival of spring weather in the Loddon Mallee region means that people are getting outdoors at the same time that snakes are starting to become more active. Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) Wildlife Officer Glenn Smith said that snakes are emerging from their winter hibernation to bask in the sun and to search for food and a mate. The recent sunny weather also means more people are spending time in their gardens or in parks and forests, Mr Smith said. So as people and snakes become more active it is quite possible theyll encounter each other while enjoying the outdoors. Eastern Brown Snakes are most common in the north west of the state, with the occasional Tiger Snake or Red Bellied Black Snake encountered around wetlands, creeks and rivers. These three species are all dangerously venomous. [/QUOTE]
