Now it's starting to warm up again, they've slithered back into our lives. The ever repellant snakes are starting to return around the property again. So we have to be ever vigilant to avoid being bitten. Here's the latest whip snake. We found it come out from a hole under the house pad over the weekend. I went around the side of the house and nearly stood on it. Thankfully it's not overly aggressive, but it can still kill a child, so it's a bit of a worry. We've apparently got King Browns out on our property, although we haven't seen one yet. Those are a lot more dangerous, since they're territorial and will attack.
