[QUOTE="Deepseeker, post: 591047, member: 13321"] That's why it pays to know your snakes. Lowland Copperheads are known for their inaccuracy when striking, and are much slower than a brown, and unless you step on them like my young ones nearly did with this one, they give out a hiss as a warning. I like snakes (unlike spiders), and I'm happy to leave them be, but not when there are young kids around and the snake has a fascination with the back step. Heavy Steel rake with close prongs that I made myself, followed by an axe while it's pinned to the ground. Be careful with the head as it's still potentially poisonous if you prick yourself. They are unavoidable when you live on acreage in Vic with a population of Pobblebonk and Growling frogs. [/QUOTE]
