Wriggle Sticks on the move

[Lesgold]

Hi Folks,

Was out with a mate doing some testing and almost ran my coil over this:

Well camouflaged little blighter or should I say biter. Can you spot him? I almost didnt.
A bit closer:

Death Adders dont get Xmas cards from me. Just dont like the ugly suckers. The gators will be a permanent fixture a little earlier this season.

Cheers

Les

That camouflage is amazing. It took me a good while to figure out where he was in that first photo.

Geez still a bit cold in my book for snakes at least all the ones at my place are frozen this weekend It's a funny thing though seeing snakes out in the cooler months a few years ago now I saw 2 over a week just below the snow line in August as well. Good idea having gators on or in your kit bag.

Hi Les...was this around Mogo...A mate had one on his swimming pool steps a little while ago...

Cheers..

Yikes! Glad you didn't get struck by that big guy!

 

[Lesgold]

Hi Sparra,

Yes mate. Off Ross Ridge. Seems like they love the place. Saw one up there last year as well.

Cheers

I can't seem to spot it-

Hope you have a pair of snake Gators mate..

I have a pair but unsure if they will stop a snake bite tho..

Will have to look into getting a better pair...

the best Gaitors are the ones with polyethylene sheet in them.

Looks just like the one we saw last time I went out with you Les. Still think how lucky I was not to have been bitten when I pushed the coil up against it.

Cheers

Biggest danger when detecting around here.
Area's full of them. :awful:

Remember, Aussie snakes don't hibernate,
They slow down.

Have seen reports of Tiger snakes crossing snow covered area's for instance.

Hi Bob and Doug.

This beast was found close to where the cars were parked at the last Mogo meet. (About 200m from where you sighted the snake when we went out for a swing)

Lucky they found it before a kid sat on that potty.

 

[LONEWOLF]

That one in the Potty was a small one... Scroll down and you will see the Big Fella... 1.8m long OMG... Nice and fat from all the frogs in the creek...

Reminds me of something like the Red-back on the toilet seat only worse...

The nope rope are definitely on the move around the area I love at the momen.

There was a huge Red Bellied Black Snake out at Nerriga the other week, this was after the little bit of rain we had in the area and thus there was bit of water in the creek. It was quite a handsome looking specimen being a very glossy and sleek black, it was curled up in a spot where the sun was nice and warm for it. It didn't bother us so we in return didn't bother it, after all black snakes like eating brown snakes.

 

[LONEWOLF]

I know several People who have Red-Bellied Black snakes and treat them as a pet around their House... If they see him/her they usually just shoo it out of the way as they say they keep all the other nasties away...

They are a beautiful Snake...
