Taipan

A snake decided to take up residence under a bush at the front gate- not a good idea. Fear got the best of me and he's now a dead snake. I used the two smaller Queensland Museum shots to reassure myself it was a Taipan, one of the most poisonous snakes in the world. With that reputation he was living just a little too close for comfort.

Scary stuff! DId you shoot it? Know idea how to kill a snake!

@judithg Wacked it with a garden rake.

[Jane Anderson]

Wow! I'm glad you came out the winner!

[Judith Greenwood]

@ubobohobo Oh no - that would have to be a very long rake for me!

[Pat Knowles]

You are very enterprising Margaret! Rather you than me!

[Babs]

Wow you are so brave Margaret. I would have needed a very long rake.

[Jan]

Good work! No one wants to live that close to a Taipan.

[Sam]

I don't like snakes at all!!!

I hated snakes but my brother in law, you can google Matt Goode, national geographic, and see he is a crazy snKe man, also known as a herpetologist who does things like mouth to mouth on 15 foot King Cobras which failed to wake up after he installed a radio transmitter.
