Grass snake


Bat Fastard

Recommended Posts

I have just spent a good half hour cutting a grass snake out of horticultural netting -,anyone who uses the stuff should maybe try to keep it off the ground - difficult unless you have raised beds.  The degree of entanglement defied belief - but the snake is now freed and recovering in a bucket, from which I expect it to escape once it is ready. They do smell!

I often get them in the swimming pool and have to scoop them out. Also in France we get a lot of Whip snakes especially in the woodpile and they can give a nasty nip if not careful.

How do they get their swimming trunks to stay up , not having hips an' all ?

Have you tried putting up a sign "no swimming snakes". 

That should do the trick......

This is so Oz , beautiful beach , blue sea and too dangerous to go swimming .

If the Salties or the sharks don't get you the blue stingers will .

 

And that little devil called the Blue Ring Octopus. Get bitten by one of them and you just about have time to draw your last breath.

Australia. Home to dangerous currents/sharks/snakes/spiders/octopi and Home and Away.

 

Really makes you want to hop on a plane and visit doesn't it?

I only like currents in hot cross buns
