Maybe he will never leave the house again.

That would require at least 3 snakes.

You think? I almost don't want to leave my house... just thinking about it...

Hey, look at the bright side, at least it's not poisonous spiders or cockroaches.

Ya gotta love AUS.

Super glad that you're ok ClieOs. Yes, as much as I find snakes and other critters fascinating, I don't think I could live in Australia where almost everything seems to bite and want to kill you with venom. I am sure locals don't care as they are born into it, but damn that must take some getting used to, having to worry about so many dangerous things. And that is on the land, then in the ocean you have sharks and deadly jelly-fish … Yikes.

Found this little guy not far outside of the house, already dead. My guess is this is the one that bit me as I did step on it first. As far as I can tell it is not one of the 26-ish species of venomous snakes in my country.

Spoiler: Warning: Dead body!

I know it's dead, but why does it look so deflated? Feels like i'm only looking at the skin,

It probably was lying dead in the heat and sun for a couple of days... shriveling up like a dead worm.

Ouch, get better soon!

For me, the opposite happened. I bit into snake meat and ate snake at a restaurant In Arizona.

Sea snake is a delicacy in Japan. They catch them by hand. Very venomous but mild-mannered. Even so I would not mess with them.

 

[groucho69]

What next? Man bites dog?

 

[ClieOS]

If you see one snake, chance are there are more just around the corner...

Spoiler: Dead Snake Warning!!!

This one I can say in confidence is not venomous, as it is a fairly common reticulated python. My cats spotted it first trying to enter the house in 2.30am, then their strange behaviour alerted me. Given it is very early in the morning and this thing is known to hunt cats, I bashed it on the head and send it away for good. No stepping onto or get bitten this time.

Still, damn that there so many snakes around these days!

Scary!
