Our reclusive friend.

We were keeping a careful eye on each other as we both enjoyed the summer sunshine. I quite like knowing there are Red Belly Blacks around the shack. They help keep the other varieties further afield :)
Fabulous shot of this amazing critter, I would have run a mile!

@mirroroflife Here's the snake!

Oh I love snakes, we only have about 3 species here, and rarely seen. Fab capture.

@ludwigsdiana I have a crazy husband who grew up with pet snakes! Our first 15 yrs of marriage we had no snakes as pets, then one arrived 😱 and I discovered that I quite like them. Like most creatures they all have their unique personalities, and I find some of them so beautiful. Red Bellies are quite timid and usually just want to be left alone.

@boxplayer 😉 I'm sure we have a few excess we could send over!

I would have run a mile too

yes, rather this than a brown or tiger!

Hmm. Glad you were keeping an eye on him. He looks a bit scary, but not as scary as other snakes, if I understand correctly!

Luckily they aren't aggressive

Goodness me, how long is it?

Living in the UK it is rare to see a snake, I would not be hanging around.

@kartia Well done you must be the exception. my partner jumped up on the dining table when she saw the rug move in the lounge room the snake got through the pet door

Great capture. Like the UK, we only have 3 kinds of snakes here in Norway and only one of them is (slightly) venomous. They hibernate though the winter and in springtime when they come out of their nests is the best time to go and look for them.

Yikes...At least they serve a purpose.

A creepy

I don't think I would like having this guy in my backyard. Maybe that is why Australia is often referred to as the most dangerous continent.

I understand that you know your neighbors and you know who a friend is.
