Snake Gaiters

[stoyve]

Glad you're ok Stoyve, very lucky mate, wonder what type it was?

Thanks Heatho,
Well I know what it wasn't, it wasn't an eastern brown because I would of most likely been dead given the circumstances and tiger usually strikes multiple times.
It might have been a red belly blck snake?

Well lads,
Gators didnt help me on Friday,
I got bitten on the hand by one of the slippery suckers while moving some old timber and rubbish from the side of a shed I was working on.
There had been a lot of noise going on as it was a building site but it must of still been in hibernation.
I only realized I had been bitten when about 4 hours later after I pulled a splinter out of my hand which turned out to be a fang, then I noticed the other puncture mark.
It sure explained why I started feeling crook and had developed massive pain in my muscles and joints.
After climbing up and down ladders and lifting sheeting iron in that 4 hours its amazing that I lasted that long.
Cheers to the staff at the Ballarat hospital for their grat care.
Cheers Steve
ps: im all good now and yes , the leather gloves wkll be back on when removing rubbish next time

Gloves bbe good . What kind of snake

 

[stoyve]

Not sure what snake it was other than its missing a fang old Fred.
At least it can now be a bona-fide Collingwood supporter with its missing tooth (fang)

Also have a pair of these, in green, fit well and no need for a strap under your boot.

(This bloke makes canvas or PVC ones. I wear the PVC ones & find them good

Gotta Love this pic... :lol:

 

[Heatho]

Yep goes to prove that red bellies eat the browns. Hope it tasted good.

 

[LONEWOLF]

That's why I leave the Red Bellies alone... the only "usefull" snake around. IMO ... found the pic on MSN....

How did you go at BB Heatho ? any news ?

Was closed when I was going to head up last week.

Hopefully I'll get up there soon, got a very busy month coming up, though may get a break to go if I'm lucky.

This is the exact reason we like them around our place. Great picture thanks for sharing.

There are a few photo's of that snake swallowing that Brown.
Happened down here near Bega.
The Brown was nearly as big as the Red Belly.

Nah, spoke to the caretaker, they are open, was just because of the 40ml of rain the had the day before I was going to leave. Was only the rain that buggered it for several days.

Sorry I took so long to reply, thanks for all the advice snake leggings got a pair so all good.

They're definitely back in Southern Vic - a fat brown on my bluestone doorstep today (Melbourne, North-Eastern Suburbs) - very timid, and quickly went under the house. Smart snake
Saw another dead one at the bottom of the street this morning.
Had two last summer at my house, but one was accidentally KOed on my driveway
Sorry snake lovers, but not around my home with kids and dogs. Out bush, we let them be and wear gaiters (all except the kelpies)
