[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 91537, member: 487"] I just keep out of likely looking snake territory in Summer, long grass, log piles, rock piles especially, careful near dams and other water sources. Always look ahead of you on the ground and near your feet. Stomp around a bit, don't sneak up on them. Don't move logs, metal sheeting or other large debris thats been there a while. If confronted within strike distance in strike position "DO NOT MOVE" unless absolutely necessary, wait about 10 seconds and back away. This saved me from being bitten by a big Eastern Brown. Shivering thinking about it. All the above and it's unlikely you'll ever get bitten. Even with gaiters do the above. Be very carefull at Grabben Gullen digging near holes in the bank, I've seen Black Snakes go into and out of them.......... [/QUOTE]
