[QUOTE="Jacko, post: 108832, member: 1053"] A couple of weeks ago, we were alerted to a 5' brown just off our verandah by our mini foxy (not our loved Jacko who sadly died at 16 last Christmas eve). It slithered away when the dog ran and barked. A few days later the boys had arrived home at about 5pm from a trip to Narrabri and the foxy sniffed around under the ute and was quite agitated. Again, he had spotted another snake on top of the fuel tank. Son quickly took a photo but with all the commotion, the snake disappeared and they spent over an hour with spotlights with no luck. We hoped the snake had gone off into the bush but the next day, the foxy barked again and there it was, the same horrible black/grey, again right below our verandah. Measured it and it was about 5'. A lot of research and talking with others and we believe it was a western brown. So 3 snake alerts in as many days by the great little dog we got from an animal rescue. Thank goodness for the dog and also that we had no grandchildren here at the time. Last year we had a small red belly black in the loungeroom, obviously came onto the verandah and then inside. Luckily I closed the sliding door on it (nice picture too). [/QUOTE]
