[QUOTE="Greg_wilson, post: 663341, member: 22797"] Sorry I don’t believe that is correct, not trying to be argumentative at all but from my reading of the various acts I find no reference to not being able to touch one but plenty of references to being able to kill one if life is threatened. eg: “Snakes are protected by law in all states and territories of Australia and may not be killed unless they threaten life. Offences under the Nature Conservation Act 2014 carry severe penalties. Snakes cannot be taken from the wild, kept without a licence, or traded without a licence.” The reason I question it is because I had a decent sized brown snake in my van where I am living near Menzies. Getting a snake handler to come out to my lease would be prohibitively expensive and time consuming if I could get one to come at all. l’m not stupid and my assessment was that I could not safely remove it, it posed a genuine threat to me and my guest so I safely removed its head.
