[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 571289, member: 1414"] There is a myth that snakes are deaf. Although snakes do not have visible ears, they feel vibrations very well and can hear low-frequency airborne sounds. It has been proven your pet snake can hear you speak but probably not someone screaming (high pitched) in panic. I suppose it is a way of collecting water wearing gum boots, sweat, tramping around WA bush. :lol: Many Australian victims have been bitten while attempting to pick up or kill the snake, and a high number of victims are bitten on either their foot or ankle. Would definitely never detect wearing thongs, yes high leg boots and full length trousers and any snake seen be left to slide away. [/QUOTE]
