Hi, we lost our 7yr old staffy X on Christmas eve to a young brown snake. Apparently the young brown is one of only a few snakes that travel at night which is when our girl interacted with it. mind you the snake didn't survive either.
We recently moved into the country and she had never really had much to do with snakes but loved to chase lizards. She was at a boarding kennel and the lady operating it had never seen one in the 5 years she had had the property, neither had her neighbours.
Our boy was in the same enclosure but must have slept through the excitement. But we are now concerned because we still have him and two other dogs which wouldn't stop if they saw one and we have a large open area behind our place.
