Well this story should put paid to rest about the theory that jeans will prevent snake bites ... NOT!

i have to agree with you on that one
jeans will only stop baby snakes maybe and thats a big maybe
there is no way they will stop a decent size snake

Brown snakes are shit .

 

[aussiefarmer]

The jeans theory is based on loose fiiting jeans as the snake will strike and most of the time bite the loose denom and waste its bite , it has been proven by sevaral family members but it still involves luck , i guess it is more a way of getting better odds .

 

[7.62marksman]

i do agree that a lot of luck is needed for a lot of things
however i for one do not like to push my luck as i have Murphy riding with me most of the time (and he dosent pay his way)
so to me safety is something that is second nature (not that you would think so when i melt gold)
2 minutes to put on protection and i always wear high top military style boots
or hope and pray he only hits my jeans ] ] ] ] ]

Recent trip up past Clermont I arrived at station homestead on the way for a swing, owner on noting I wasn't wearing gaiters asks ............ where are you gaiters ? He then strongly suggested I return to camp and get them. When a bloke who has been born and bred there states this, it would be but a fool who didn't take heed of the advice.
This guy in Clermonts a lucky chap ........................ wouldn't mind betting he buys some gaiters

Did you say moved on or mowed on ? If you remove the deck chute they relocate better as their more likely to clear the fence

me too, is there such thing as a Freudian read ? Read your post " he is mowed on now " my mistake.

I just plain don't like anything with a poisonous set of fangs in their head.

 

[Jackthehound]

Bit of a scary story alright, and having to pull it off his leg as well. I always thought they strike, bite and then let go, not latch on.

A FORTY YEAH OLD TRUE STORY OF A KING BROWN....
My brother and I where on my grandfathers farm playing around, we snuck down to the jelly shed, it was just like an old outdoor dunny really, but this is where he kept all his explosives, away from other sheds etc. He had everything thing in there from DDT, arsenic to jelly for blowing up stumps and rock for making roads. But best of all he had the plunger charger.
So we would sneek in their and ZAP each other with it for, till one day a big brown was in there and raised between my legs!!!
I came out of there screaming more like a 7 year old girl!!!
Well this stired things up at the homestead.... the old man came running out yellling whats going on???
We told him there was a massive brown in the jelly shed!
He runs inside and comes out with a big stock whip......". AWSUM, he's gunna kill the snake using a STOCK WHIP...my dad the hero!!!
He runs right up to us...... WHIPPING OUR BUTTS FOR PLAYING IN THE JELLY SHED!!! WTF! He didnt even look for the bloody snake!
Yep, we never played in the jelly shed again......
