Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted January 12, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 12, 2013 One of the ways I can go to catch a bus there is actually a sign with a picture of a snake on it. We have Tiger snakes during the summer and I think brown ones as well. I remember after we first moved here and there was blasting across the road for foundations for the new houses snakes would fly up in the air.

Members SFK Posted January 12, 2013 Members Share Posted January 12, 2013 *light-headed* Where do you live?? I watched that Infested! show again last night, well, didn't watch it so much as listen to it. I didn't want to look at snakes before going to bed. At any rate, they did another story, this time in Colorado, almost identical to the one I mentioned above. There were well over 20,000 snakes hibernating beneath this house and everyone in town knew it as "the snake house" except for the owners. They were going to sue the previous owners for not telling them but they could not afford the $30,000 court costs. They took the high road and just moved to a rental in Wyoming. If that was me, somebody would have received a good ol' fashioned ass whoopin' in the parking lot outside they job, or at least got their tires slashed.

Members psychofan Posted January 12, 2013 Members Share Posted January 12, 2013 So...dilemma...I have a huge fear of snakes but a huge curiosity. I just know that if I click that link there is going to be a giant picture of a nasty snake. Someone want to give me a rundown of the article? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted January 12, 2013 Members Share Posted January 12, 2013 I get brown ones and common tree snakes around my pool occasionally. The absolute worst though was when there was a massive common death adder in my neighbour's garden- I almost passed out. I have much worse problems with funnel web and trapdoor spiders then I've ever had with snakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted January 12, 2013 Members Share Posted January 12, 2013 I didn't get a chance to respond the other day, but I hope you're doing okay with the heat and fires as well. I haven't been personally affected by any of the fires, but the heat has been just brutal. How is the heat where you are (near Melbourne right?)

Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 12, 2013 Members Share Posted January 12, 2013 I am absolutely terrified of snakes and I just know that if I open that link I'm gonna fall out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 12, 2013 Members Share Posted January 12, 2013 The picture is of the big python hanging on the wing. There's also blood. It's at a distance, not nearly as bad as that terrifying pic of the HUGE sheep eating snake in Australia that died on the electric fence. My grandmother sent that to me as a forward with a title like "check this out". I scrolled down and: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted January 12, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 12, 2013 I live in Melbourne, Australia. We have a creek across the road, but it has been cleaned up a hell of a lot over the last 20 odd years They have built a park, a BBQ area and a car parking area.

Members SFK Posted January 12, 2013 Members Share Posted January 12, 2013 Ah, Melbourne, my friend did a semester there while at Bryn Mawr. They say it's like the Boston of Australia. Maybe I would feel differently about snakes had I grew up in constant contact with them, like in Louisiana or Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted January 12, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yep, near Melbourne. Haven't been affected by the fires either. Weather is really crazy here high 30s one day and low 20s the next, but the heat seems to stick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
