 New law says you have to put the snakes back after the event and after milking for use as anti venom. So I think that would make everyone happy.

Thats more like it. I just seem to remember in the back of my old mind that they used to kill and skin them on those events and even though I trap and hunt for the pot , I could not bring myself to kill something I would not eat or have some other use for.
Thanks for the heads up on that one

We see maybe one or two snakes a year on the verandah - tigers and browns - that's plenty. Some people kill them if they get too near the house but I think they are just lost so I wait for them to go away.

Most people who get bitten are trying to kill the snake so I don't bother. Dogs don't know this so most of the neighbours have lost a dog or two.

here there are not that many round the house either and I go out to look for them for hours at a time armed with a forked stick. I would not have seen any of the ones I have found if I had waited on the veranda for them to come to me
