Ok I do fear something,its snakes.

[ICB]

I used to work at a conference centre/hotel retreat type thing that was out in the country and it was surrounded by long dry grass and open fields... One day I was walking through the place, and I hear this like, ear piercing squeel like someone was dying. I run round the corner to see my boss who was like a pretty Burlie guy, with a shovel in his hand wacking the shit out of these rose bushes.. He was hacking and chopping and we were like, "what's going on"? and he goes "There was a fucking snake".. Just then while he's still chopping, the snake comes flying out of another bush off to the side goes across the grass behind him.. We yelled that the snake was behind him while he's still chopping thinking it was in the roses.. He turnes around and again, the most awful squeel i've ever heard.... He ended up getting it with the shovel...
But he was absolutely terrified of it..

I'm not sure how scared I am of them, because I've seen very few of them in my life.. If I lived in an area where they were around often, I would probably be more afraid...

Spiders just freak me totally the fuck out though.. Horrified by them..

Spiders scare the fuking bejezus out of me... They are the creepiest thing ever created

Glad im not the only one spiders scare the shit outta me, thats my phoebia for certain.

You guys ought to watch the movie "Kingdom of the Spiders" sometime just before you go to bed. hehe

Wasn't there a hit song some years back, called "I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes"

Myself, I have issues about flying stinging insects. I very seldom panic, but being buzzed once by a few dozen wasps, as an adult after I had already developed a fear of them, was enough to push me over the edge big time. Not fun.

I feel ya Andre; some people like snakes and some people don't.....Tiger snakes are in the top 5 most venomous and can ruin your day buddy.....In fact I saw an article last week about how 5 people have been tagged by Tigers in a weeks period I believe it was...Luckily anti-venin is readily available to you guys out there; no anti-venin you'll die and it won't be pleasant.....Tigers, especially the ones from Tassie and Chappell-Reevesby Islands rank almost #1 on my mosted wanted list; I envy you can see them every day....Cool thing is Australia is where they think most snakes started from, that area, and the antivenin from a Tiger will take care of other bites from species like a King Cobra or some African cobras, pretty cool stuff imo.....You guys have the most varied array of snakes of anywhere in the world, and the highest # of venomous vs. non venomous....I wish I could export your Tigers I would have a room full of them already And what I wouldn't give for an Inland or Coastal Taipan...Australia is the coolest place on earth if you like deadly animals.....

Yeah I've always known as in knowing they are around,but actually having the little fucker flatten its head and come at me is another matter.
Still i wont kill it; but today Im up early and are making a sack on very long stick with a wire loop and one with just the wire cause my back yard is a mess and i figure if there is one there,then there must be at least three . is that about the score?

This one yestrday was the teenager I dont really want to meet dad or mum .
I sealed up the cracks around the plummbing pipes under the vanity units last night cause they can get through the slightest gaps I heard from the lads yesterday. Im amazed I even slept.
I can handle spiders we got white tails ,red backs, wolfs,trapdoors,and these big black fuckers (dead ringers for funnel webs that actually live in a funned web) "But Im told they are not the same as the sydney funnel thats more deadly than many snakes and they actually rip blow flies apart instantly or just mug them with big fangs and then drag them in .
Cool I can handle all of them and we shake our clothes out usually;
...but snakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH FUKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

Maybe I should just wear my wetsuit and a pair of gum boots or wellies around from now on.

Strange what we all fear, I'd sooner tackle four obesse middle aged women than a 2 foot snake.

Well Andre I know you said you don't want to kill them but with all due respect, if you use a wire noose on the end of a stick you might as well kill them.....you wire them like that too hard and put ligature marks around their necks or bodies and it will scar and then they won't shed properly; enough bad sheds and it gets like leather on their bodies and then they die from parasite buildup underneath or if it doesn't shed properly on the eyes and keeps nuilding up they can't see. Might as well whack them and be done with it.....Where are you located I know a couple guys around Melbourne that get tons of calls and will come out and remove them for you.....or just get a stick with some type of metal or plastic hook like end to it and just maneuver them around it's pretty easy just stay away from the pointy end

[LEGION]

Here Andre the guy SSSSNAKEMAN goes on alot of calls I believe so if he's around your area send him a message and he will come out, or know somebody around you that will. You can see the "hook" he is using on the death adder.....

Yeah thats what i ment thick wire loop with a sack hanging off the end and the other one to lift him into it. not thin wire. So that I can get at least a 8 feet runing start on him.
Its up in a thick hedge now so I doubt it will come out til the day warms up. cant see it we just know where its at cause it didnt come out again. And our whole house is between it and where it used to live so i recon we'll see him again about 2 pm in the heat heading back across our back yard.
The boys that came yesterday were great and searched for a long time but you know by the time you ring and take your eye off the fukkers they could be anywhere.

Is it true they come out for milk?

Oh ok, sorry, my bad I misundersttod you bro'.....

Come out for milk?? LOL uh I don't know about that, sounds pretty stupid to me but who knows...Rats come out for milk and where rats and mice are bet your ass your local variety of reptiles will be there as well.

Tigers can be aggressive, and flatten their neck alot in intimidation, and won't hesitate to bit; but by far the worst one in Aussie as far as easily irritated and repeated, viscious strikes is the eastern brown or coastal taipan; leave em' be....eastern brown dropped I think 6 people this past year one of the worst in the world and 2nd most toxic land snake known to man; only behind your inland taipan which is rare and in uninhabited parts of cental/south australia. blah blah that's one way to get me talking again

[Andre]

I've heard of tiapans chasing people and running them down and also the people not makeing it to their backdoors the venom is so potent.
South Australia is cold down south so they arent there but even though its called south Australia it extends right into the heart of central Australia and its there and west inland queensland and the southern part of the nothern territorties that all meet in the centre right there.Im sure those inland ones are in each of those states as well as where western Australia meets that boarder area too.

I've talked to aboriginals from the the boarder of NSW and VIC on the Murray river and they say they have some rare tiapans there .

Hell we got places people litterally have never walked over or been into out here so really anything could go.specially in Tassie the bush is inpeneterable in one section over the west side we dont know exactly whats in there probably never will. Some convicts I think four i the group tried once jumping out from a logging crew and ended up dying of snake bites and the one who survived did so by murdering and eating his the other survivor! We definatley got mid sized panthers in some parts.

[mike_tha_man]

i've always said it, if there is one place i would like to visit its Australia. Seems like such an awsome country/continent. but i do hear alot of places are places you dont want to go to

[CGM]

I understand that saltwater crocodile wrestling is a popular pastime in Australia.

[Andre]

Yeah the center of Australia is closed to tourisum this summer; because they are expecting heat in excess of 50c. 130 f plus.

[mike_tha_man]

Fuk that and here i though Arizona was hot with its 104-105ish temperature

[Andre]

I only been in 130 once didnt last long went to pub and got hammered instead.
