[QUOTE="JD3, post: 586122, member: 18172"] Get em in my backyard several times a year. My stafffy got nailed by a Big Brown twice. He,s gone now but by natural causes lived till 15 yrs old. Good for a Staffy. First time he was 4 yrs old. Was a 5 footer brown. We saw it happen. He bit it and the brown hit him three times in the face. Our dog went into convulsions and frothed at the mouth. From bite time to the Vet 20 minutes. Thought he was gone. 12 hours later with anti venom took him home worse for ware...two days later ok. Second time. In the house about 40 c outside, he let us know he needed a p.. Opened the back door....huge brown . easy 6 foot. Before I could stop him he was out. He saw the snake and went for it. He grabbed its tail. I hit the ground and grabbed his hind legs...now im flat on my stomach..his legs in my hands...snake tail in his mouth.....snake head looking back at us both! Snake reared right up. I'll admit I s...t myself and tasted the adrenaline...metalic I swear! My Staffy let go....the Brown reared up higher...looked at us both then went under the fence and gone. I thought I saw it hit my dog so took him for a shot. But he didn't show the symptoms like the first encounter. But am sure he was hit. Tough little thing he was. Loved people but hated anything else that moved! Gone now from natural age and buried in the bush. Damn he was a tough little thing! :Y: [/QUOTE]
