[QUOTE="reynard, post: 571065, member: 5266"] We have just moved to the g.t. from gippsland. 18 months ago i had 7 around the house, a mix of tigers and copperheads. I have never seen one while detecting and i work with my eyes open believe me. I have a theory on this, i believe the pulses that our detectors put into the ground chase them away. Snakes don't hear as they have no ears but are very sensitive to vibrations. Apart from maybe the deaf adder i don't believe any aussie snake would be able to penetrate gum boots ( but who wants to wear them). Watch where you put your hands and feet and you will be pretty safe. As per a previous post i used to hunt deer in the yarra valley years ago in an area with lots of man ferns, the tigers loved to sun themselves on top of them. If you want a quick cure for constipation try looking an angry tiger in the eyes, but none of us ever got bit, thankfully. Jim :argh: [/QUOTE]
