[QUOTE="Thomo, post: 584979, member: 17391"] As crazy as this sounds, myself and a couple of mates used to hunt them because we wanted their skins and were gunna tan them. Which we never did This was back in the early 70s in Mt Beauty in the high country Victoria. We used to scour the rivers looking for them. Nearly got bitten a few times. In the alpine areas snakes are very prolific around the creeks and rivers so we had no trouble finding them. Sometimes wed see up to 2 dozen in a day out. And l can tell you that the favourite food of a snake is a frog or a lizard. I did see a tiger one morning on a frosty ground with a half grown rabbit halfway down its throat. It must have caught it the night before and spent all night trying to swallow the bugger [/QUOTE]
